This reminds me of all these conversations I've had that went like this.
Angry Gamer - "Nintendo doesn't care about the hardcore gamer. Just look at their future line-up there are no games announced for us."
Me - "Nintendo (and lately even third parties) always announces games a few months possibly even weeks before release."
Angry Gamer - "You don't know what you're talking about!"
Oh Surfer Girl :lol
Big companies rarely (if at all) makes their own games anymore.

holy shit, Nintendo is king at keeping secrets. I'll make a bullshit prediction right here:
Q1 2009
F-Zero WX
Wii Sports Resort
Q2 2009
Pikmin 3
Endless Ocean 2
Dynamic Blade
Q3 2009
Sin & Punishment 2
Cosmic Walker
Punch-Out!!
Q4 2009
The Legend of Zelda: Wii's Awakening
Mario Party 9
Newspaper:
"Has Nintendo forsaken the casual gamer?"
"Where has Wii Music 2 gone?"
"Is Wii Sports Resort the last Family Friendly Nintendo game?"
Iwata: (shoots himself)

To make significantly more games in a quiet short period of time, how many people do they need to hire? I think it's just easier to let an external studio make a game, you don't need to fire the guys too in a recession because the contract just ends after the project.Ranger X said:
I agree that internal development has some good points, though I assume the optimum will be a good balance between external and internal game development.

Hey guys I have a great idea!!!
They should make EXCITE TRUCK with MOTORCYCLES! Call it.. like.. EXCITE CYCLE or something!
Seriously though I loved Excite Truck and I want more
Still one of my favorite Wii games and the best racing game this gen IMO (but then, I like arcadey racers)

Why is it easier? I really disagree with most of this. There are a lot of other factors on why Nintendo would outsource games. I'd say its a lot harder to get work space and the physical resources together for a brand new team then just managing and overseeing a game produced by another developer. Especially if you find a developer that has the skills, talent and personnel to accomplish what you wanted.
I mean I highly doubt that Nintendo would rather build a team and studio from scratch ie Brawl then find a talented development studio, give direction and end up turning out a high quality product as many examples in their past have shown.
Nintendo changes their work environment. Thats the whole point. If they didn't like what they did as a studio then they wouldn't be working with them.

OH GOD WII SAVED. It's about time we heard something from the team behind the best Wii launch game (and arguably best game under Galaxy). I hope it's something like Wave Race or possibly an Excite Bike-Truck hybrid using the motion plus. Fuck I'm excited.

That actually sounds pretty cool, and I've always been a fan of the Twisted Metal games.

Now for NST, Kuju, Retro, and N-Space to announce what they all have been respectively working on for over the last year...
Can't wait to see what Retro is doing, they have to be doing at least two projects right now. They had one in development along side Metroid Prime 3, and the Metroid Prime 3 should be working on something different as well.

I hope it's a new Excite Truck just so they don't ruin F-Zero.

I still want to play Excite Truck but I can't find it anywhere for less than $50. There are some used copies for less than that on Amazon but none of them sound like they're in the best condition
BTW, the game they're working on would have to be something easily recognized or there'd be no need for the "Dim your monitors" dramatics when the water guy visits. Seems to me that F-Zero might fit the bill but is that even easy to recognize?

Of course! They're going to best Ocarina of Time by remaking the game that was already superior to it in the first place![Nintex said:

GoodFeel developed that (IMO) horribly atrocious game. And the Oracle games were awesome and I've heard the same for GX. It doesn't make sense to handpick 3 "failures" while ignoring all the successes.

HOORAY FOR MEDIOCRITY
Excite truck had nothing on Excite Bike, sry
and I seriously think the secrecy of the game is unnecessarily hyperbole

The quote that you originally quoted (the one saying how Wario Land Wii, F-Zero, etc.) were bad games was sarcasm.Flying_Phoenix said:What irony?...I'm confused!
The point went over your head. Get it?

Kuju is a larger company, and Headstrong Games is a studio of said company (I think... maybe)
Don't they have two more relatively big games in development for Nintendo? I know Kuju America has one...

If this doesnt look like this, I blame yourezuth said:
For great justice, Monster Games, make sure that for your next game, you...
1.) Make sure there is no screen tearing AT FUCKING ALL.
2.) Make the presentation look not like poo, unlike Excite Truck.
3.) Don't do anything that has rubberband AI.
4.) Don't allow there to be a "Now Loading" screen.
5.) Don't make menu items (that should always be instantaneous) load from the disc; otherwise, it's confusing and looks tacky for new videogame players.

Hmm...I wouldn't be adversed to any new entry in any of Nintendo's racers.
I thought Excite Truck was pretty fun, it was just lacking a bit in style and personality, plus it had awful music.
The game was sound, though!

People who claim that the game was not that god have no idea what fun arcade racing games are.
ExciteTruck is the second best arcade racer this gen, only behind Burnout Paradise.

The only thing that really made me hit my head with ExciteTruck was the rubberband AI, which was admittedly pretty bad.
The only other thing that bothered me, in terms of actual gameplay, was that navigating some of the tracks was a little difficult because there was so much shit going on.
