The X Button - See the Future

I kid, but in the end, that's what it ended up feeling like, as I've probably put more into the XV demo than Type-0 itself. Type-0 definitely suffered from an excessively large cast thrown right at you from the start, but I really just didn't like the gameplay. XV ended up being the main thing I got out of my copy of Type-0, and at the very least, it seems promising, even though the fact that the combat was changed from what was earlier shown to pretty much just simply "Hold Square".

In an industry that went from swiping Michael Biehn for Metal Gear covers to putting Ellen Page in virtual starring roles, why wouldn't you steal from David Bowie?

And watch as none of this happens because Nintendo has far better things to do with its time and money.

Third parties would just find another convenient excuse anyway and considering how they're floundering financially

while Nintendo has a freaking war chest the size of Kyoto,

Sony probably won't try another portable system once the Vita sees its last Neptunia spin-off or indie platformer,

I liked Type 0's combat more. XV felt very sluggish and imprecise by comparison.

Considering games publishers have never figured out how to NOT censor games and just let game ratings do their job, there's a good reason why people dislike censorship. Some of us were dealing with the ups and downs of extreme censorship in games for 30+ years (like me). It's especially more painful when more loyal ports and uncensored games were starting to become a thing in late 2000s. Now it's kind of sliding back into 90s level of every game being up for censure.

I sure hope this alleged better management of time and money doesn't involve publishing more Mario & Sonic Olympic Games tie-ins, Making more amiibo specific content, & pumping out another outdated, under-powered, and underwhelming video game console no one wants.

Are we talking about japanese publishers and developers or publishing and developers in general?

Because regardless of the financial circumstances of these entities Nintendo still needs their support as not everyone buys Nintendo systems for the new Mario Kart, Smash, or graphically inferior port of some game that can be played on more advanced systems with a less awkward controller setup.

That war chest may sustain them as far as publishing games and their handheld division it most certainly won't help their console division if the NX bombs though.

"Tell us why The Adventures of Dino-Riki contains brilliant insights into humankind's primal nature, why the Variable Geo games are deeply feminist, or why Puyo Puyo is all about class struggle."

Are those really what makes something art or not?

Speaking of Treasure, I thought they were supposed to be working on a new PS4 shoot-em-up, Ubusana?

Ubusana is the new shooter from Hiroshi Iuchi, who technically left Treasure a while ago. He made Kokuga with G.Rev, and I think he's making Ubusana at M2. Treasure might be involved, though.

Kid, people have been saying what you claim for years if not decades. And NONE of it has ever come to pass.

If you have not realized by now that Nintendo is not interested in the same insecure, adolescent chest-puffing as other companies then that is on you, not on Nintendo.

They have better things to do than be boring like Sony and MS.
