The state of Nihon Falcom, one of the oldest RPG studios in existence, in 2019.
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal
I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.
Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."
You can't make this crap up lol
With two weeks left before the launch of F1 24, Wccftech interviewed Codemasters to discuss some of the improvements fans will find in the game.
So it looks like they have abandoned unreal for future iterations of the game and are sticking with ego. So that means no decent VR support on PC and none on console seeing as the ego can't handle it properly. I think I'm done with this franchise it's turned into fifa with a hefty price tag and no innovation from one year to the next. Time for someone else to have a go at this licence
Japanese police have charged the man responsible for sending death threats to Nintendo.
All that because a canceled event. Dude needs to rethink his life. Videgames ain't that deep.
Even though the game sold well on the Switch in the West, since it didn't sell well in Japan they don't care. This is why these smaller Japanese devs will never have a huge breakout hit worldwide.
Look at that... a 38 year old company essentially confirmed exactly what we thought about what it takes to publish games. Although it’s nice to release on multiple devices it doesn’t exactly mean it will be a success and the cost of creating a team that knows the programming for one device doesn’t mean it is logical to split your R&D funds.
It works better for them to focus on their install base guaranteeing they give the quality they wish to achieve. Releasing on multiple platforms is a luxury in development not a necessity
Try a day and date release.
Basically they don't have the know how to do it. And as they are a small company they most likely don't have the resources to spend learning it. However they are open to other companies porting their games to the platform, the same way that they are open to third parties porting their games to PC.
The issue is to find a third party willing to do it. Now that NIS is facing bankruptcy I can't really think of another mid-size publisher/developer willing to take such task.
You can only hope that nisa ports em anywhere else. But since its nisa....well...
