This all seems really petty

They're using the same equipment they used for child of light. That already makes it better than some licensed stuff.

Is Ubiart a software program or developers team

@Skeletor
A pikmin rts where you must take over the world from other competing pikmin populations

I'm feeling that this will be a pretty decent but somewhat easy game. Probably a good licensed game though.

Title's a bit generic though

How about an advance wars game or brand new duck hunt

Course the best apology would be to give us great games other than Sonic

Although I feel like we've heard this before. They promise a return to roots and we get a decent 2D sonic game, fans cheer and then Sega releases a slew of terrible 3D games

@LilC
There was aliens isolation

@mjc0961
Never played Lost World but I'll take your world for it. But even then it still had the problem of low sales

I don't get it, Sega has a backlog nearly as rich and diverse as Nintendo, how could they not be cashing in on that.

Altus has so much to give than just more Persona games.

Realistically speaking I predict it to be a 3D Sonic Game with appearances by Shadow, his gang, Dr Robotnik, and a new "friend"

So pretty much every Sonic game since 2000

I can't help but feel cynical and I know for a fact it's going to be a generic Sanick The Headhoge game. Competent maybe but still generic.
That said I'd want at least Sonic's Ultimate Saturn/Dreamcast Collection.

Valkyrie Chronicles 4, Skies of Arcadia 2, and Crazy Taxi please.

I'd even take a 3DS port of Valkyria Chronocles 3

But come on, Sonic is their stupid monkey on their back that they refuse to let go of. "Sonic sells" everyone says, well nobody bought lost world or boom.

Seriously though. What original IP's have Sega made ever since going 3rd party

I guess we need to buy an Retro 5 to play it

I can only wish some Codename STEAM references pop up

@TwilightAngel
They said there will be online just not immediately at launch

I'm thinking that this will be a tide over console to finish the generation of Ps4 that way they aren't stuck in the middle again.

Power isn't everything. If you want to attract third party guys, make the system really easy to code for. The problem with Wii u was that the gamepad diverted resources away from making a competent port. It's likely that Ps4 and XB1 are internally similar so that's why they get the EA stuff.

Innovate with the software, not the hardware

@TheNESLink
Hey you watch your mouth

I do hope it'll be at least marginally more powerful than Wii U. We don't want downgrades now do we?

I think they should focus on innovating the software rather than innovate hardware ala Star Fox and the Super FX chip

@DanteSolablood
Bunch of upcoming games such as battlefront, ff7, and Shenmue 3

Other than those I don't see much that will sell me a ps4

@DanteSolablood
I have to admit I hit rockvottom after E3 in that I was really considering getting a PS4 and abandoning Nintendo consoles.

I got too lazy.

If it's something really simple to code for so that even EA can't mess up the port, then we have something that can fight well

There a way to make games for an HD console in Not HD?

Everyone knows that power means nothing if people can't code for it. N64 cartridges were inferior in that respect to PS1.

Nintendo doesn't need to be top of the line, in the market, just good enough is all you need

Unfortunately a western crowd of 20-somethings would rather shoot aliens than giant flashing balls.

Boy they made a mistake marketing this game

@Senario
Well maybe I was being a bit harsh in that wording. But I still think it hurts my eyes.

@Mr_Zurkon
There certainly is some economic reason to lack of localization. Games that are really western such as GTA V do poorly in Japan because they're "too American". Never mind the fact that I hate the series. but on the flip side "too Japanese" will only appeal to a small audience. Look at SMTxFE, I'm Asian growing up with synthesizers and even I hate the J-Pop aesthetic. I find it too fan servicey and "senpai notice me" so as somebody stated "it's probably weeaboo bait, and I don't care about it."

@Hotfusion
I've spent time in Texas too, and I can say that a lot of them have changed genuinely. Those "good ol boys" care more about can you have fun with them and pull your own weight rather than if you're dark and squinty eyed. Those guys grew up in segregated times, but mellowed out extremely by now.

Me being Asian I like to think I have a unique look at racism in America today. You've never heard of Asians fighting for civil rights so what gives? Some "enlightened" countries are quite discriminatory. Back during the fall of south Vietnam, Australia only allowed refugees that were young pretty single women.
Pervy little jerks.

@Mr_Zurkon
Whoops sorry, switched names around

Look I'm trying to stay a moderate here, pointing out the need for restraint in casting stones at Nintendo. Reading this story, We cannot say that all Japanese people automatically consider themselves superior. We cannot say that they were entirely blameless either. All we can say is that this was an unfortunate story, and a pity that something caused a competent studio to go under.

@Mr_Zurkon
Seriously, a blame Bush statement? That joke died in 2009. (Although the trump one is true).

@Hotfusion
I'm saying all countries have racists, but the comments are trying to place it as only an Asian thing. I don't think the U.S. Is racist. It's the country that gave my family a chance.

@Mr_Zurkon
Not that I'm accusing you of it, but all these comments I see are trying to relate extreme nationalism as predominately a Japanese thing. I've met with many Americans who have acted similarly to me because I'm Asian. They'd say to me that "you wouldn't understand why Americans focus so much on football instead of academics. That's my explanation of why the football team eats up a third of the school budget."
Radical nationalism is not just a Japanese problem, but a global one. it's a matter of cultural strife.

That said they really could at the very least hire some Asian Americans. they make a good middle ground as to why both sides say different things.

@Mr_Zurkon
Hey look man, westerners have a long history of dangerous nationalism as well. Serbian nationalists caused WWI.

Nationalism: extreme pride in one's own country and collective cultural aspects such as language. (Websters)
Usually when radicalized it ends up with racism against other people.
I.e Manifest destiny era America. We thought our Anglo-white English speaking country was so special we screwed all the Natives from their land by claiming their culture is superior.

@Vincent294
You don't need to be Japanese to know every story has two sides. Can't tell who they're being racist to, their bosses or themselves

@Vincent294
Boooo!! That was a lame pun

Jk wasn't that bad

"There's no reason to say this wasn't an isolated incident, therefore it must be true!"
-Some people in the comments

This really sounds like a divorce story. Of course one side makes the other sound terrible, they want pity. If those guys really wanted to, I'm certain they could have broken off and made a third party studio. (Cue "it's not that easy" comments). They had the credentials, probably could get Nintendo's blessing (not everyone is "radicallly racist nationalists" as were the NST people), and obviously had the heart.

I know, I know, there's people waiting to examine and pounce on every word I type. Probably gonna be people talking down to me and saying what I'm typing is also condescending. Stop being condescending to me and I'll stop writing this.

If you really wanted to say "that's so typical of you Japanese," they should have committed Seppuku when they got fired, or start hanging around a Shinto shrine.

@Mr_Zurkon
We Americans also have a long history of nationalism. Just look at why we treat native Americans so badly

There's nothing wrong with nationalism. I have pride in both America being the country for opportunity (I don't care what rebuttals you have) and the country of my ancestors. One with a similar culture to Japan. What's wrong is when people radicalize their pride.

While this is somewhat applicable to this story, we need the other side, not just that of the embittered westerners. Saying "this is so typical of Japanese people" in a way is racially profiling yourself.

Btw, maybe one reason the game failed to finish is because they tried sticking a gimmicky Wii remote controller to a "serious" game. I love the Wii remote but sometimes motion controls don't work.

@Pigeon
You sure about the "subtle hints" or are you just filling in the blanks?

If only Nintendo had studios that had American higher-ups. Heck hire a Japanese American if they really are that concerned with that.

Guy's quite the potty mouth

Other than that, how much do you think it'll go for?

_{Knock it off -Lz}

@DarthNocturnal
It's funny really, Quorthon only pays attention to things he can insult people on. When someone has a valid point he ignores or twists around

#quortho sux

the mine craft version looked a lot better

@Boxmonkey
Stop talking bout yourself

@XCWarrior
Well also Shenmue 3

#Quorthon sux

@Azooooz
Then why'd you click on it

So this is a better experience because it looks worse?

I absolutely hate the chibi art style, it looks so cheap. Other than that the game itself looks ok

@bubby444
To be fair Reggie has less say over what games Nintendo makes since he's not in Japan. That said Next Level is a U.S. Based studio so I don't know why

@DarthNocturnal
That's another problem is that they haven't even begun to to start a new main series game. They claim those dormant series are lacking in ideas yet we see the new super Mario series doing the same thing every 2 years.

The biggest issue with trusting Nintendo for me on this is that are you willing to spend 40 dollars on a game you weren't impressed or wanting in the first place? When we're the customer with a wallet asking for what we want is kind of obligatory

@Ichiban
It's a dragon ball z game

NOA must be trying really hard to localize this game it now
