There's been a lot of examples of Nintendo releases being announced directly by Nintendo later. Keep the hope alive!
Oh yeah? What did I misinterpret? You guys always claim this and then it happens just as I say it would so yeah.. explain.
I seriously wouldn't debate this whether or not Persona is worthy for Smash because the games aren't on Nintendo. A lot of third party stuff in Smash is from games with relatively smaller but really dedicated fans. The kinds of fans who will help spread the word around that you should buy the Super Smash Bros Ultimate™ Fighter Pass™ for $24.99. That's what it really comes down to.i've had to use this picture like 17 times by now
Sony probably still has some marketing deal with Atlus. P5 for Switch probably won't be announced until around the time Joker gets added to Smash or later.
Two major security flaws found within 2 years in the market isn't very encouraging. Nintendo might be stuck with them on switch, but might look elsewhere after
Fair enough, was part of my suggestion to "sweeten the deal".
Perhaps
I really doubt they'll change from nvidia. Lessons are being learned from both companies for the next time though.
at least DQ11 will have Nintendo's marketing machine behind it (and possible smash inclusion)
Feels like it would've been smart to combine both reveals and releases.
Or maybe release+reveal is just as good if not better?
but this situation is the same for both basically? Even if Nintendo isn't publishing p5s, they are likely publishing smt5, they would not let out a similar game from the same partner without a full push
just because your publishing partner has one exclusive you're pushing doesn't mean you'll automatically push all their other output for free (or even not for free) to the same degree.
it's not even confirmed if Nintendo would publish SMT5 (and they haven't published an SMT game before, nor did Atlus need help in doing so). and Atlus sure as hell won't let anyone else touch Persona
The trailer for Crash Team Racing shown at the Game Awards only listed PS4 as a platform and had the PlayStation splash screen at the end. The PlayStation splash screen at the start of the P5R trailer could indicate a marketing deal rather than exclusivity. Either way, we'll see what happens sometime this month.
Yeah I agree here.
amiibo support has nothing to do with Nintendo supporting it, they simply have to sign off on the amiibo license being used after a third party pitches their amiibo idea to Nintendo. The third party has to then handle everything else by themselves. Nintendo just says "yes, you can use our amiibo branding for your NFC figurine."
Diablo III was probably Blizzard's big attempt to penetrate the Nintendo audience. It succeeded. I expect more from them in the future.
That is true. We've known about this process ever since the Shovel Knight amiibo happened.
The Diablo amiibo was just a figure they were already selling as D3 merch (the loot goblin) with an added NFC chip.
I mean for gods sake if there's a game it has to be announced this year you'd assume. They're starting Metroid Prime 4 and you'd think they need the whole studio to make that game.
It's not just some random studio. This is their own studio. With a flawless track record, mind you. We really need to give this forced worrying about Retro a rest.
