@AtlanteanMan I'm sure what you said will happen considering what you and others said about Nintendo's 2020 and how they broke records instead with their products. You all were saying Nintendo was going to be destroyed by PS5 and Series X in the beginning of the year without a title and the Switch sold more than them on the holiday, alongside breaking records all around.

Also, the majority of the Swtich releases from Nintendo are new, not ports. Over 25 new games and 11 wii u ports from Nintendo.

@SalvorHardin There's no drought. They obviously have games being made, they just changed the format for the standard of the industry, which doesn't matter for anyone how it's announced anyway but the product. Which is why Nintendo continues to be successful, as consumers care about knowing the product exists, not how it's announced.

This seems like a waste of money to invest.

@FlameRunnerFast They developed AC Pocket camp alongside Nintendo, not alone.

Netflix is *****, I want Disney+ on Switch instead!

@shoeses Ah yes, the 47th non effort wii u port when there has been not even 15. lmao

@rockodoodle Yes? PS4 literally has tons of ports from previous gens.

@NinChocolate Except that's not the reality at all. Literally all the key staff are over 40 and 50 years old. You guys hear about young developers but don't ever look at the credits and the people who are director, producer, main designer, etc.

@Menardi Too bad for you. Tencent already distribute Switch on china and their subsidiary will develop a Pokemon game for TPC.

@Ogbert Labo, Ring Fit and 1-2 Switch were all developed by the same development team at Nintendo.

@NEStalgia Yeah, they did nothing with Switch. They just launched almost 10 games this year, including AC New Horizons, Clubhouse Games, Paper Mario Origami King, Mario Kart Live, Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity and so on. It's clear that the pandemic impacted their development and you clearly forget that Nintendo always have developed games on their own pacing, which is why they retain their employees. It's not black and white like you think it is.

And since when we don't know dates and new games for a year? Most of the games I mentioned literally were announced and released this year, in and outside of directs. You're just ignoring to make an argument where games are only valid if they come in a direct format, which is absurd.

Plus, this park being marketed is literally because most people don't know it exists. Universal is the one financing it for most part, with Miyamoto being on there supervising much like with the Mario movie. This direct is no different than a video, which it literally is, a video, showing the park and bringing awareness of its existence for people who in the future will go to japan.

@nessisonett It's as if no one is obligated to go to Japan (and no one can anyway), the park is opening in next year with some limitations as most public spaces are normal in JP and they want to market the park outside of JP for people to know that it exists when they can come to the country, which probably won't be that soon, but the mindshare needs to exist.

It's really clear that most people commenting here didn't read the article at all.

But Konami only make pachinko, they say.

@rockodoodle I don't have any idea what you're talking about.

@rushiosan It's as if PS3 and 360 were successful and not a failure huh? Why the hell are you comparing it like this? Compare with the vita, which Sony literally did the same even before Nintendo.

@dimi I love how you ignore Gravity Rush 2 for Sony and the tons of Vita games that they stopped to support online. The reality, smart, is that those companies won't give resources to a dead failure console.

@AtlanteanMan What the ***** are you talking about? The decision to go to theme parks and mobile literally came with Iwata in 2015 when he also announced the NX.

Half of Switch first-party library is Wii U ports? In what planet? There's 10 Wii U ports against more than 25 retail titles.

As far as Luigi's Mansion 3 and Hyrule Warriors not carrying a holiday (which you conveniently forgot Pokemon Sword and Shield), how the ***** you can say that when Switch literally brok records on 2019 and is about to break records again in this period in 2020?

Seriously, so many misinformation on your post that it hurts. A basic research shows that you're wrong on all of your fronts in a basic level.

Not even counting your worship of an executive like Iwata. you're worshiping a ***** executive while ignoring all the bad and anti-consumer decisions he made over 15 years (not 20) with your selective memory, including beginning many of current nintendo problems (fangames, youtube creators program, evo 2013 and how since the brawl days they have been trying to destroy competitive, time limited release with zelda 4 swords anniversary edition in a digital release, bad online due to Iwata not believing that online would be a good thing, not investing in HD on Wii and then being behind on Wii U as most teams were going to work for the first time on HD on Wii U, and so many things that YOU ALL criticized over the last 15 years and forgot conveniently now).

Why an article like this even exists? It says absolutely nothing. This site is a complete joke as always with this "journalism".

It's amazing how people here have no idea how development works and think that Nintendo wasn't already involved in Pokemon as publisher in production and many other aspects. GF going to the tokyo building (which isn't Nintendo HQ, that's on Kyoto) won't change anything. They are just on the same building, not on the same room.

@Bunkerneath @JR150 Nintendo literally launched Clubhouse Games, Mario Kart Live and Paper Mario the Origami King after Animal Crossing. All titles owned (both in copyright and trademark), published and produced by Nintendo. It's not their fault if you're choosing to ignore the existence of the titles and only consider Animal Crossing as a game for some reason, but that's what I expect from Nintendo fans like you who don't know anything and also only buy Mario, Zelda and those same titles while ignore other stuff from Nintendo catalogue. Which mind you, I would understand not enjoying and buying them if you're not interested, but straight up ignoring their existence in arguments like this is disgusting.

@zool You have no idea what you're talking about, as always. "Gamers" are a minority and Nintendo never cared about those people (neither any company). What any big company cares is about the mass market, so the most people possible.

I like how people ignore the part where the board and owners of Codemasters sold the company and that they have MTX for ages on their games lmao

@SwitchForce You have no idea what you're talking about. Nintendo don't have problems because they are a VIDEO GAME COMPANY, with most of their revenue from Switch and software sales. Sega Sammy isn't Sega, Sega itself just reported +YoY revenue and profit. Sega Sammy is reporting problems on Resort, Arcade and Pachinko, which are all industries that NEED people to be physically on those places to pay for them, so Covid will ***** them over for subsidiaries like Sammy, Sega Entertainment (which was the arcade management company sold), among other subsidiaries on that industry.

Here's a part of Sega itself

"During the six months, the company sold over 19 million games — up from 12 million during the first half of the previous fiscal year. This was driven by a mix of back catalogue sales and new titles like A Total War Saga: Troy."

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-11-06-sega-sammy-raises-forecasts-despite-losses-driven-by-covid-19

My god, how much misinformation this place can have? Sega isn't struggling! Sega just posted on their financials that they have been up YoY on their revenue and profit! The PROBLEM IS SEGA SAMMY OTHER BUSINESS! PACHINKO, ARCADE, RESORTS. THINGS THAT NEED PEOPLE! For ***** sake, read the ***** report where they detail every ***** aspect of their business. Don't just read the stuff from Nintendo Life which talks as if the Sega you know is affected when they aren't at all. NO ONE from Sega is affected as their company is on software and their digital sales are all up due to covid. Only the Sammy side is affected. Only places where physical stuff is needed is affected, and video games ISN'T one of them.

It's amazing how much misinformation can be spread when sites like Nintendo Life, Kotaku and others report on financials without understanding what those financials means. And by amazing, I mean insanely stupid.

Why the heck would you guys only post the Fire Emblem numbers when there's much more numbers available from resetera on the same post you sourced? My god, be more competent on your "reports"!

It's amazing how Nintendo Everything is so much better than this site, and they are even faster to do it at the same time.

@SwitchForce None of this has anything to do with poor management. It's covid.

I have no idea why you guys are using Sega in the title instead of Sega Sammy, Nintendo Life. Can one of your editors come here and explain to me this reasoning? Sega isn't cutting the jobs, Sega Sammy overall is. Just reading their documents shows that it's not about video games, it's about their Amusement business. If I was in your place, I would never even report this news because it has nothing to do with video games, which it's very profitable for them on this quarter.

@Ninjalaislit It's not Sega doing it, it's Sega Sammy. Sega itself have no problem because they are on the video game industry. It's amusement (Arcade+resorts+Pachinko) which are on loss because much less people were out on the period due to covid.

@theiRiS But Metroid is a "big game" even though it never made any of the beest numbers of Paper mario?

@Ninjalaislit They didn't buy anything. Sega and Sammy merged its holding companies to create Sega Sammy. Sega and Sammy as companies continue to exist to this day.

Nintendo life, where's the separate article talking about Pikmin 3 Deluxe being the best selling game in the first week of sales for the franchise in Japan and above the Wii U? You guys made sure to do that on the UK, now I'm waiting for you guys to be fair and do the same on japanese sales. If not, that's really strange to say the least.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand The ***** are you even talking about? lol Nintendo produced this game and has tons of staff on it, Eighting was just contracted for the workload of the port and new stuff. Actually open the credits and see it, for gods sake.

http://kyoto-report.wikidot.com/forum/t-13839583/pikmin-3-deluxe

@koekiemonster @nessisonett I don't know if you guys know how Nintendo is structured or who develop the games out there, but it's not how you guys think it is. Nintendo EPD developing games or not doesn't matter at all, because EPD is a developer and producer who supervises all Nintendo funded releases, with all the games that are develoepd externally having Nintendo producers and staff working on them. Most games on all consoles are developed externally, you can see it. I recommend giving a look to this thread to have an idea about how it is.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/nintendo-first-party-thread-ot3-internal-x-external-x-publishing-whats-cooking.116419/

My god, so many ultra garbage comments here, as always. Imagine seeing just the UK market and thinking that this means the same for the ENTIRE WORLD. Not only this but people forget that we're in a ***** pandemic and most of the sales are going to be digital.

My god, at least ***** wait until Nintendo gives the numbers on their financials before saying ***** like this.

@N8tiveT3ch Why the hell people keep parroting this *****? This stuff only existed on the North American market, it was never put in Japan and it was never about Nintendo itself.

@GrandScribe Because this is a third party licensed title. Published and developed by Koei Tecmo, with Nintendo only handling supervision, while overseas subsidiaries handle marketing and distribution for KT.

@Clyde_Radcliffe That's true, thanks for correcting. I gave a look to it and Nintendo is indeed publishing the Switch version and they seemingly have ownership of that version (not the mobile version). I guess they paid for Hal to make new modes on the port and to handle funding and everything.

@rjejr Or it's because there's new modes, features and a co-op mode. This game is 9$, you're talking as if it's much more expensive.

@MS7000 Yeah, it's not like they released 5 new games this year. And for sure they are going to read your random comment and change their business.

@Hewitt Hal Laboratory is an independent company and this title had no involvement from Nintendo. It's published, developed and owned by Hal. It's why it wasn't on Switch.

@TheFullAndy This game is celebrating the anniversary of Fire Emblem.

@Rayla What the heck are you talking about? Lmao Iwata would be disappointed? You mean the same Iwata that did it on Super Mario All Stars, Kirby Anniversary edition as physical editions and worst, did it with Zelda Four Swords Anniversary edition on 3DS which was digital?

@Tourtus They put 20 Pokémon as placeholder from completely different generations. It's clear that it is a test to see how the engine and overall systems are working. Don't speak about development in a pre-alpha if you don't know how development works.

@tourjeff Not really. Tons of Kirby games have demo on the eshop. This is normal.

This entire discussion here is irrelevant. Nintendo will still do those things, being pro or against it won't change anything. Take Two, Disney and tons of companies do similar things on their main industry. People love to cite Sega and Capcom but they forget that there's more than just two publishers in this industry, like the idiot Astrobot.

@orangepanda This mentality is one of the most idiotic out there. Companies aren't your friends and it's better that they don't try to be. Companies care only about their own bottom line, independent if they are small, medium or big.

@sixrings My "business nintendo 101" is sufficient enough to know that Nintendolife, youtube and twitter aren't representatives of the gaming market. It's shown every year how those communities are a minority. MTX, Fifa, COD, Pokemon Sword and SHield, tons of controversies, EA and Activision being the biggest third party, everything that is hated on here has different results on the reality of the market.

@Classic603 Restarting. They never said anything about full production of the game.

@sanderev Tencent don't own Epic or Fortnite, smart. They have 40% of shares, which isn't sufficient to make them a subsidiary. Sweeney is the major shareholder.

So much garbage comments here from people who have no idea how development works and think there's an actual order in tehir suspicion. Forget this game, leave those people to work instead of trying to look at hiring all the time.

@topher6490 Retro began development of MP last year, smartass. They aren't on this for 2 years.

@koekiemonster Oh my, you miss the magical of 2017? It's as if that this "magic" needs time to be done and those development teams are developing new games in that mean time, be it for Switch like Production Group 4 with BOTW2, or for future platforms, like 3D Mario. Not every team has the same quality in staff, ideas, resources and tons of stuff that BOTW, Odyssey and Splatoon 2 get (because it's only those that you all mention anyway, even though more launched). So not everything will be on your taste in video games, not will be on the same franchises you like, genres, budget, and so on. Things cater to different people.

Learn how Nintendo is structured internally by their division, subsidiaries and by their contractors and someday you'll understand why you're getting different experiences over the years.

@BranJ0 Yeah, that's probably why Nintendo released ACNH, Paper Mario Origami King, Clubhouse Games, Hyrule Warriors Calamity of Age and Mario Kart Live. lol You all can be crying on the internet but Nintendo don't care about any of you, they care about the overall market, like any company that is managed by any competent businessman.
