I would love to see a Nintendo Direct focused on new 3rd party games that we haven't heard about yet. Eirther they be exclusives, games that come out on the same day as other systems, games that use the or games that we haven't heard anything about that isn't by Platinum (basically no Bayonetta 2 or Wonderful 101) like Ghost Recon Online. Did that game get canceled or something?

Xenoblade? Madworld? Sonic Colors? Tekken Tag Tournament 2? Shall I go on?

Nintendo bought 97% of MonolithSoft at the beginning of last generation. Xenoblade was developed and published as a Nintendo first party title.

Thats actually a second party title. Just a small correction.

If Nintendo owns the majority share in a studio, and they make a game exclusively for Nintendo with Nintendo publishing it, then it's a first party title. That's like saying anything Retro makes is second party.

Xenoblade is 1st party nintendo, platinum is one of the third parties i am very obviously NOT referring to, as they used to be clover, they are japanese, which happen to coincidentally be the large majority of third parties that dont purposefully release crap on nintendo consoles, with the only western publisher i can even think of being ubisoft.

Sonic is garbage. Dont care about late 360 ports of games i could have already owned but am not interested in.

Yeah, you need to go on. You need to go on a whole freaking lot.

Rare was a 2nd party. What's the difference?

No, its not. Nintendo owns monolithsoft since disaster. Its first party, just like retro games are. Xenoblade is a nintendo ip.

Thanks for the correction 3Dude. I guess I was incorrect.

Rare was a partnership. Nintendo owned 49%, less than half (lol, exactly less).

Nintendo owned 97% of monolith... majority ownership to nintendo, making it 1st party... and i think namcobandai actually sold them the last shares, making it 100% owned by nintendo.

Wow! dude: you really are a walking talking gaming encyclopedia. Thanks for the info

[nannybuckles]

yes...yes he is

[Tricky Sonic]

Sweet. Also I must be the only person that doesn't enjoy GTA or care if it comes to Nintendo. I honestly hope this is true and that we see some epic 3rd party games...maybe even exclusives.

[Alex Wolfers]

yes...yes he is

He does know alot of facts. I wouldnt count on his opinions though. No offense 3Dude.

Ha, yeah, videogame history was one of my early college classes. I literally got tested on this kind of stuff XD.

I want to take this class, I might actually put my GI Bill to good use.

I mean you can't really judge a game unless you've played it. I made a mistake with Xenoblade, but after that I think it's just ignorance. I haven't liked any of the recent Sonic games, but Sonic Colors was a really good game in my opinion.

Saying 'Sonic is garbage' is ignorant. Saying 'Most recent Sonic is garbage' is much more accurate

And just because you aren't 'interested' in a game doesn't mean it sucks.

Also, there are games like Little King's Story, No More Heroes, Resident Evil 4, Monster Hunter Tri, Masurama Demon Blade, Tatsunoko vs Capcom...

I'm not saying that Nintendo has the most third party titles, nor am I saying that it has the best. I'm just saying that it has 3rd party titles, and it has some really good ones too. Saying all third party games suck on Nintendo devices is just plain wrong.

I can't wait to see reggie's disgusted face when he starts talking about rayman legends.
