Nintendo Revolution May Alienate Third Party Developers

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-some-chutzpah-right-there dept.

IGN has an article discussing an interview in which Nintendo President Satoru Iwata talked about the possibility that the Nintendo Revolution's fundamental difference from other offerings may alienate third party developers. From the article: "If the next generation platforms are going to create even more gorgeous looking games using further enhanced functionality, and if that next-gen market can still expand the games industry, then I'm afraid that third-parties may not support Nintendo" Refreshing to hear such an honest assessment from company president.

    It's Nintendo. The exact amount of amazing required for them to have a successful console is:
    1. Mario Revolution
    2. Zelda Revolution
    3. Pokemon Revolution

    How can you be so insanely cynical and negative towards something you know nothing about. At least save that crap for when they announce what this "revolution" is. Then you can at least pretend to know what you're talking about.

    Normally people don't start talking that bitter about the future until they're like 80 years old. If you are 80, and you play video games, then good for you, weirdo.
