As you can see, all 3 developers have worked very closely with Nintendo in the past. Silicon Knights and Factor 5 were once 2nd party developers, and when Free Radical was with Rare, they too were second party. If Nintendo is smart, they will collect the goods while these development teams are down and reap the future rewards.

I agree Nintendo works with the developers to make the games better.

Factor 5 was going to make a few Wii games one with Nintendo and one 3rd Party so it sucks that they are dead.

Silicon Knights is making a Multiplatform Title I also think they were going to make a Wii game with Nintendo.

Free Radical made great games aswell until this gen.

If they want terrible developers on their staff then I don't see why not.

:lol: at Silicon Knights.

Doesn't change the fact that Denis Dyack and Co. are horrible.

That's not a fact. They developed one game that was critically and commercially unsuccessful. You're getting opinions and facts messed up.

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]Why would Nintendo buy horrible developers?kansasdude2009

:lol:

first of all, too human was on 360.

second of all, LAIR was updated with a patch to allow you to play with regular controls, the game was still horrible, trust me (I have the game).

thirdly, HAZE barely took advantage of ps3s unique hardware so you can hardly blame ps3's dev. difficulties... and that's a weak excuse anyways... what about MGS4? what about all the other great games on ps3? how did konami pull it off? Oh, that's right because they don't suck.

also, since they last worked with nintendo the game has changed, heck their staff may have changed alot (especially with FR)... Nintendo would make them better, but those aren't the best choices for ninty to buy... they need to set their sights WAY higher... they have how many billions saved up?

they should buy level-5 not factor 5... they should buy oh i don't know SQUARE ENIX...ya im serious

Why would Nintendo buy horrible developers?Vaasman

Yes, Factor 5 was also rumored to be making Kid Icarus. This will also allow Timesplitters 4 to come on Wii :DSMR-Venom

They could, but most likely wont. This is the same Nintendo that let Rare go.InfinityMugen

I respect a queens of the stone age fans opinion and yeah silicon knights had quite a few good games

:| I'm shocked how people can call them bad developers.
If blizzard messes up Starcraft 2, they better quit as well?
KungfuKitten

I'm pretty sure Blizzard wouldn't need to quit seeing as Korea would declare war on them.

On topic- Ninty doesnt care about hardcore games, theyre making to much money off of play, music, fit, and sports.

Why would you buy developers who just released crap games? locopatho
