Nintendo licensing 3 of their IP to 3rd party studios

>I also know that Nintendo is actively meeting with independent developers to find new partners. Some of that is around publishing indie games, which Nintendo does from time-to-time, but it's also seeking studios that could work on some of its IP. Nintendo regularly works with third-party teams, including Bandai Namco, Team Ninja, Platinum Games, MercurySteam, WayForward and Grezzo. But the company is looking to add to that roster, and I know of three studios that are deep in conversation around making games based on Nintendo brands.

      Ubisoft made the rabbids one which was decent, I trust them when they're not making the yearly slopfest

        Wonderful games, suppose it’s safe to say we’re getting #3. What are the odds they try to rebalance Luigi and Rabbid Mario again, and they’re still top-tier?

      There's no reason to if they aren't in a lull year or trying to shake off something that's damaging in their investor reports. Their market strategy since they started manufacturing home consoles has always been oriented around preventing market saturation, and one of the main ways of accomplishing that is keeping the number of released titles below the level of consumer demand.

        The obvious thing is it gives you some reason to buy the Nintendo specific version of a game, rather than buying it on Steam or whatever.

    They're saying studios they haven't worked with before? I can't think of any big ones

      Most of the big western ones.
      Maybe we're about to see some weird shit like Bethesda making a game for them.

      Actually, it could literally be Microsoft. They're clearly trying to worm their way in there and establish a relationship with Nintendo. They have access to Rare properties, which would sell better on a Nintendo system. That could be a real thing that happens.

    We already know that Sega and Namco recently created new studios specifically to handle crossover titles. It sounds like they're making a Nintendo Triforce Game again.

    will we get more Mario RPG games?

    • 4 months ago

      While we're probably getting some sort of new Mario RPG sometime in Switch 2's lifespan, I imagine they'll wait until after TTYD to commit to a plan.

      Both it and RPG getting remakes so close really does reek of management finally realizing the Sticker Star paradigm wasn't working, but not knowing where to go.

    I could see Nintendo outsourcing a top-down Zelda, and i think F-zero 99 might have been successful enough for Nintendo to go for another one

      I figure the next F-zero will be made in house by the people who did 99

      Best you'll get for a new top down Zelda is Nintendo kicking Grezzo into using their existing engine from the LA Remake to remake another.

      If they get high maybe they'll allow Cadence of Hyrule 2, but that's about as far as I see them going for new 2D Zelda.

        They should use that engine to make a full new game, and also pack in a Four Swords.
        They could remake the Oracles, sure, but I think everyone would prefer just an outright new game.

        • 4 months ago

          Still hoping they remake the Oracle games and also make Oracle of Secrets with added crossovers to the original 2. Its never happening but I can dream.

          It's been ten years since ALBW, Nintendo clearly doesn't have desire to actually do a new top down Zelda. Especially considering ALBW reused a lot of stuff from ALTTP as is.

    moronic urinalist doesn't even know that Nintendo just more than doubled the size of their internal staff in order to rely less on 3rd parties

      Why not do both? 3rd parties have always complained about having to compete with Nintendo ips on their systems. Just get the 3rd parties to make Nintendo ip games (with some supervision to make sure they dont frick it up).
      3rd parties get safe work, Nintendo gets more games.

      Really, Vanillaware providing the 2D art for any game where they don't have to do the actual game design would be the best thing ever.
