It’s a pretty simple question, but for those of us who have been with Nintendo games for years, it can have anywhere from one simple answer to a millions of vague and undefined ones. For me, I find myself more on the latter side of things, which is why I’m coming to you: I’m going to be putting together a massively pro-Nintendo piece of video soon in the feature, and I want it to include not only the opinions of one lone “journalist”, but the thoughts of many Nintendo gamers young and old.
So what is it for you? Is it their focus on things like frame rate and graphical consistency over technical prowess? Is it their attention to little details like easter eggs? Their innocent-yet-deep nature? Or maybe something as simple as “they make their games fun to play inherently– not fun to play because you want to see the next cutscene”?
Whatever it is, I want to know what you all think so I can take them and make a massive list that we can all use the next time someone asks us why the hell Nintendo games are better than anyone else’s. Not to say that there aren’t other great games, but there’s just something about games made by the big N that have a special ring to them, and I think a lot of you agree!
I do have my doubts about this game, but I feel that it’ll be better than your average mini-game collection. At least it has some substance to it!
This information comes from Capcom Europe COO David Reeves…
“I think down the road, you could probably see a Monster Hunter iteration somewhere. Probably on both of them (3DS and Vita).”
Monster Hunter Portable 3rd has shown that the series can be successful on portables. Actually, that game might be the most successful release in the series. With Portable 3rd doing well Monster Hunter Tri exceeding expectations in west Monster Hunter on 3DS would seem like a good fit.
