Prolific WII U publisher RCMADIAX denied Switch development license.



They deleted their tweet. Company profile at Ninfendolife.

That's the original tweet.

They made a tweet about Switch fans wanting nothing but ports after that, but deleted it. Classy. Or maybe it's just that they made their account protected. LOL Probably to save themselves Nintendo fan's wrath.

This is the difference between starving for third party support to a healthy abundance. There's no need for garbage like this to be published only for the sake of having something to sell.

Glad they're being more selective. Weirdly, that doesn't seem to apply to the Japanese department where they happily allow Vroom In The Night Sky.

Bad, cheap cash in games drags the system down, poisons the well, and stops people taking a chance on interesting titles. So many people were using the Wii U as an ultra-basic "My first game!" testbed.

The Switch eShop already gets like 20 new games per week and the momentum wont stop anytime soon....i think its okay to not open up the door/markt to devs who have been only developing shovelware.

The news and new releases section on Switch is very important right now - dont think Nintendo wants devs on there that are ready to drop 10 shovelware games at once or as fast as possible on there lol.

I think the difference is the amount of crap released and the timing...Vroom was a very early thing probably because the Switch was known to be a success so it might have been easier to get the license. Also if you have a couple of good games in your development history they are unlikely to decline...with RCM it was only trash though.

Lol I bought a couple of his games. Even reviewed one. They were mostly veerrrry uninspired , generic and not great games . Shovelware through and through. This is a plus that those games won't be stinking up the switch eshop

I think meme run on Wii U getting a lot of press for being garbage and for Nintendo allowing garbage like that on their store got them to adjust accordingly

curation is necessary in today's gaming climate

I'm usually willing to be pretty hard on NOA for being arbitrarily selective, but I have no tears to shed over this.

They were kind of a dick on the Nintendo developer forums. So I'm cool with that.

....ok, they were just mean about a demo I put up there and were rude for frankly no good reason.

now I'm hoping I'm not mistaking them for somebody else, but I feel preeetty confident. I don't think those forums are still up

Dude was asking for it. He kept making the same simple knock off games with no production values, or twists, or anything to differentiate them. As well, he never took the next step and made something outside of that lane. Honestly he shouldn't be bitching. He made whatever money he did on WiiU and he should have been banking that to try to take the next step. It is clear Nintendo doesn't see whatever he's planning as having any value to them.

He used to get in to fights with reviewers on NintendoLife, so it was likely the same guy.

Is this the same developer who was mocking the Switch around its release, and would then follow up his taunts with "but x game on #WiiU"?

Vroom was a bad game from a good dev. Piosoft, unlike RCMADIAX, has at least put out worthwhile stuff before. I hope Order Land makes it west.

So they are the Digital Homicide equivalent in the Nintendo eshop, same PR genius and talent for social media.
