Nintendo Too Secretive Over NX, Says Ori Dev

The Wii U only came out in in the end of 2012 and they are announcing a new console already? The average console life is 10 years, announcing one now makes it seem that their efforts are going to be going to the new system and not supporting one as much that is only 3 years old at this point does not look good at all. The Wii is known for the shovelware and this on top makes it look worse. Nintendo has a blank check thanks to Pokemon and the things they have done like lack of quality, absence of 1st party titles or new 1st party titles with a console release. Nintendo is protected from the financial aspect as long as Pokemon exits, they won't take a big enough hit for them to change anything.

why release a console so fast? Wii U has just been launched, or at least the games have just been launched.

The new console better have more games at the start. Also, it better have 4K capabilities, otherwise I don't see the point of releasing a new console.

His complaints are valid but his professionalism is nonexistent.

@Nepti: Don't worry they will release a new donkey kong

There are dev kits around, just not for this small kinda unknown studio, they won't release dev kits for everyone that comes to ask for one, just like Microshit and Sony don't do that either, you can't trust a studio that is barely known to retain secrets about your console.

An interesting point is, by the way, why would Nintendo be so secretive? It's not like MS and Sony are about to release a new console, both are already out. We know Sony LOVES to imitate everything Nintendo attempts but PS4 is already out, they won't go like "LOOK AT THAT THING NINTENDO IS DOING, LET'S PUT IT IN PS4/One BEFORE LAUNCH TOO!!". But, eh, good ol'Nintendo. Hopefully this console is everything the WiiU is not, we can only hope.

If they would just develop their games for other consoles. They should abandon the home-console development. After the SNES, only the Wii was successful. All other consoles were maybe not failures but compared to the competitors ... well just not that good. They should just concentrate on developing games, because they make fantastic games.

Wait.

So some random indie dev complains he hasn't received an NX dev kit and now suddenly people are saying the NX lacks third party support?

Am I missing something here? People just love to bash Nintendo.

Nintendo must be doomed because some small indie dev is annoyed that they haven't heard any word on the NX.

You people are literally too stupid.

I have my reservations about the NX, and I don't need some indie dev complaining on Twitter about Nintendo for proof. The proof is in their history.

But seriously, calm down.

We already know that NB is working on NX games, (proof enough that Nintendo isn't so mum on NX within the game industry) then there was that rumor that Nintendo has been having meetings with EA.

Relax. And wait.

People are still assuming this is some kind of traditional console.

--man
--are they really expecting to make this system do any better than wiiU with ZERO multiplats and only nintendo games?
--hint
--yall already tried that with wiiu

Nothing has change , good old prehistoric Nintendo :D

You know, I check for genuine input from Nintendo on a daily basis but it's just been nothing, nothing, nothing for months now.

I can understand why the guy is pissed, they're overly secretive and then under perform anyway.

Nintendo without the former Rareware is just a shell. RareWare, now THAT was top-tier studio back in the day..

Nintendo has always been stubborn.they do things there way.they have already sent out Dec kits to developers they personally want to devel op e games.I guess this guy wasn't one of them.I never have bought a Nintendo console since 1997 simply because of Nintendis way of thinking.the rumor going around now is this new nx system is supposed to be 2 time more powerful than ps4 and 3 times more than xbox one.well don't believe the hype.Nintendo never made consoles with any power they banked on their in house games to deliver.until Nintendo listens to what the fans want and stop being so stubborn I'll spend my money some where else

nintendo should just stick pumping mario, zelda and another smash brothers, they gave the middle finger to third devs long time ago, and its not going to get better, just pitch that mario party 20 already...

Ah, so continues Nintendo's bad relations with 3rd party developers.

When the nx does release, it's popcorn time

Doesn't matter if Nintendo shows off the specs because even if they did and game makers made games for the new console those games would sell poorly and you would never make a game again for it.

He makes some good goddamn points. I have to goddamn agree with the guy. I mean, I goddamn love Nintendo, but they do need to be a bit more gaddamn supportive of third party devs. Hopefully the goodam NX is better than the gundam Wii U. I mean, the Wii U was goddim OK, but the gaddum NX needs to be better. Goddamn.

I only buy for Zelda and Bayonetta, just like the WiiU.

Completely agree with this guy.
