Western studios have been put in charge of prominent Nintendo IPs over the past few years. Retro has worked on Metroid and Donkey Kong. Monster Games has also been involved with the latter series in addition to Pilotwings. And let’s not forget Next Level Games, which has worked on a pair of Mario soccer titles, Punch-Out!!, and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon.

Nintendo must have a good amount of faith in the western studios it collaborates with these days, but that level of trust wasn’t always there. ONM, curious as to why this has changed in recent years, quizzed Shigeru Miyamoto for some answers.

Miyamoto told the magazine:

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero will support costume swaps after reaching a new stretch goal on Kickstarter. Funds raised on the site in addition to PayPal donations exceeded $700,000 a short while ago, meaning the new feature is in.

Costume swaps will allow players to experience Half-Genie Hero with rebalanced stats and special moves. Of course, Shantae can wear new garb as well.

Steam and PlayStation platforms both implement a cross-buy feature. As an example, if you purchase an indie title available for both the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, you’re only required to pay once in order to receive copies for both platforms.

Unfortunately, Nintendo doesn’t offer similar functionality for its own systems. If you buy a game from the 3DS eShop, you don’t receive a corresponding copy for Wii U. You’re forced to pay a second time for what essentially amounts to the same game.

While cross-buy isn’t something that Nintendo currently offers, “the idea’s been talked about.” That’s according to Dan Adelman, the man in charge of all things indie at Nintendo of America.

He told Nintendo World Report:

“We don’t have anything new to announce on that, but I believe that the idea’s been talked about. So it’s something we’re definitely up to considering if there’s enough demand from developers, but nothing to announce for right now.”

Nintendo fans should know Ganbarion as the company behind Pandora’s Tower. The team also worked on a bunch of One Piece games for Namco Bandai and Jump Super Stars/Jump Ultimate Stars.
