Eidos life president believes Nintendo’s IP should be on all platforms
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Ian Livingstone, life president of Eidos, feels that Nintendo should expand its horizons. Speaking at the Bristol Games Hub, Livingstone said that the company’s IPs should be spread out across all platforms. He believes that if this isn’t considered, “a whole generation of young people will miss out on their games.”
Livingstone’s comments in full read:
“Nintendo should have their IP on every platform. Otherwise a whole generation of young people will miss out on their games.”
While Livingstone may want this to happen, it won’t. As long as Nintendo remains in the hardware business, there’s no way you’ll be seeing the likes of Mario and Zelda on competitor systems.

A Bravely Default sequel has been mentioned once again. Producer Tomoya Asano hinted at a follow-up several times in the past, and was actually taking feedback from fans at one point for a future Bravely Default game.
The latest comes from Yasumi Matsuno, who once worked on Tactics Ogre. Matsuno mentioned on Twitter that he was meeting with Bravely Default illustrator Akihiko Yoshida for drinks, and later said that Yoshida wouldn’t be discussing Final Fantasy XIV. After he was pressed further, Matsuno tweeted that Yoshida is at work on the next Bravely Default project.

All eShop demos come with a limit. For instance, you can only boot up the Project X Demo five times.

When it comes to official demo information from Nintendo, the only statement shared is as follows: “We don’t discuss our internal business practices.”
