You probably won’t be too pleased to hear that Capcom plans to invest further in the mobile scene by opening a new studio in Osaka. 4 billion yen will be used – stemming from Monster Hunter 4’s sales – so that the subsidiary can be established.

Naughty Dog co-founder and former THQ president says “Nintendo is irrelevant as a hardware manufacturer”

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 31 Comments

Jason Rubin, co-founder of Naughty Dog and former THQ president, closed out GameTrailers’ Bonus Round with a few somewhat harsh words about Nintendo. Rubin remarked, “Nintendo is irrelevant as a hardware manufacturer in the console business.”

Rubin did praise the company as a whole, however. Nintendo is a “worldwide treasure,” he said, while also noting how “it is a crime that we do not play those games on the systems that we have.”
