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
After its latest games didn't meet sales targets, Square Enix is going multiplatform but the company's track record isn't convincing.
Square Enix been multiplatform for decades, a few exclusively-deals doesn't make them any less multiplatform.
SE needs to go all in optimization. Broken PC ports won't help its case, especially with big releases like mainline Final Fantasy
It's actually simple. What doesn't inspire confidence is Square allocating their budgets on the wrong projects such as Forspoken, Avengers, Babylons Fall and Foamstars.
Square has always been multiplatform since PS3/360 days which 80 % of their games are. People kick up a fuss over PS exclusivity but not Nintendo which has more exclusive projects console exclusive from Square.
FF16 has done ok but not enough to fix the blunders that the past mistakes Square has made with some of their projects. FF7 Rebirth is unclear we'll see a PC release for sure so it's hard to say so far not as good as they would of liked.
Then again unrealistic expectations. If it weren't for Sony these games would at least had another 2 years development time. So some people need to be realistic in that regard.
Square Enix just really need to revise its expectations. Maybe consider a change in strategy on dev end as well. Multiplat will help for sure but only good games that are marketed well will sell
In a town hall that took place on Monday, Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu reportedly confirmed imminent layoffs in the U.S. and Europe.
What did NA and EU did anyways? Just translate or something? I would say it might help them get back to there roots but DK.
Killer Instinct will never be remake. The reason why is the the entire staff that worked on KI no longer works for Rare.
Tim and Chris Stamper (founders of Rare)

They're all gone. Rare exists for no other reason than as Microsoft's puppet to make Kinect games and avatar stuff. The sad part is that Rare still owns the Killer Instinct IP and Microsoft cannot use it or force Rare to make the game. To be honest, you don't want this current Rare to make a Killer Instinct game. What's left in the company is an entire new regime that has no idea what KI is all about and could probably care less about it. It would just be a travesty that would tarnish the legacy of it's memory.
The best case scenario would be if Rare sold the Killer Instinct franchise back to Nintendo. That's the only way another Killer Instinct game should be attempted.
As far as Super Mario RPG goes, we may see that again on the Wii U in the future.
SNES was the best console IMO.Look at the catalogue....all legends started there.
I am surprised that MS does not allow Rare to make a new Killer Instinct. It seems like it would sell pretty well.
A new Turrican would be great to see.
I would really like to see what Nintendo & SquareEnix could do with a new Super Mario RPG.
Sunset Riders could be nice as a downloadable game. So I would be down for sequels to these games.
