Why are people saying that MML games will sell tons?

Great, now I my most anticipated Capcom game is the eleventh version of Super Street IV, because that is very original and we all know people are dying to play more of the same fucking SHIT.

No one's saying it will sell tons.Ookami-kun said:
But if you're only producing games that sell tons, you will not be producing many games.
Capcom is not producing many games.

Well, it's also disconcerting to think that an entire game's development would depend so severely on one person.SonicMegaDrive said:
I don't know what Capcom is anymore. Their thought process is mind boggling.

When discussing handhelds, any argument that treats Western support as analogous to Japanese support is typically not worth seriously considering.
Besides, that decision would had to have been made long before any 3DS sales figures came in, anyway.

I love and hate GAF. I sometimes see the greatest gaming forum on the net and sometimes see complete stupidity--worse than first of the month Wal-Mart shopper-stupidity.
I keep seeing people mentioning third parties pulling support, but they keep mentioning the same three games. Assassins Creed, Saints Row and this, that was never actually greenlit. (And if I recall, SR wasn't ever really a game?)
Why GAF, why are you so alarmist and stupid sometimes?

This is much funnier to me than it should be.
First: "The Rally for MML3! Begin the Mail Campaign!" Let's send Capcom tons of letters because we're so excited about the game! Yeah!
Couple hours later... "The Dream is Over"
It's so perfectly soul crushing.

I don't blame Nintendo for this btw, Capcom doesn't need even an ounce of help screwing over their customers.
What I think sucks the most is that they created an (admittedly superficial but) interesting form of community involvement on this project, and now the precedent is that this sort of thing fails miserably.
The only silver lining might be that they didn't get the satisfaction of successfully holding this game hostage with their little "paid prototype" scam.
Maybe the plan is to release it at double price next week now that they've traumatized us just to see how much money they actually get.

Despite whatever hyperbole you might see here in this board and the rest of the internet, the fact of the matter is that Nintendo is indeed in trouble right now and Alberto's post clearly spells out why.Colonel Mustard said:
I mean, I'm still playing the 3DS for the Nintendo games, but the truth is that the 3DS should have never gotten to this point in the first place. With a competitor's product fast approaching, they should already have gotten a good lead ahead. Instead, they're spending the time climbing out of a hole.

Capcom is competing with NoA to see who's the most inept at gauging what their fans want. They didn't even bother keeping up the pretense that they were testing the waters with a prototype, because then they would have been painted into a corner if it actually did well.
Just because a game isn't greenlit doesn't mean it's not relevant. In fact, it's integral to the point I was making...Colonel Mustard said:
They didn't even begin production on the games because the titles weren't in the best interests of their fiscal forecasts. They didn't take the risks because they don't have faith in the platform, so, in essence, they pull their support for the platform. What the games are specifically doesn't matter, necessarily- the publishers are still pulling support that they had acknowledged that they were tossing around the idea of giving. Doesn't matter if the game was half-done or an idea scribbled on a napkin.

This really sucks, but what if the game ended up being really sub-par? Maybe that's why it was cancelled.
LOZ: Ocarina of Time
2 Resident Evils
Paper Mario
Super Mario
Starfox 64
Kid Icarus
Lugi's Mansion
Mario Kart 3D
Netflix, Virtual Console
Plenty for me.

It's sad that you have to lump in Netflix just to make a list, and that's not even including the multiple N64 ports. Sure there are a handful of interesting new games slated, but it's not exactly a software bonanza.RobbieNick said:

Colonel Mustard said:
To be fair it's not much thrid party pulling support as much as third party not announcing games for it. What does Capcom did for the 3DS so far? A quick port of a 360/PS3 Resident Evil Mini game. Atlus is basically doing a cheap port of Devil Survivor only to announce that the second game is on the DS. SE announced a Chocobo game we barely ever seen and KH game we only saw a tech demo of. Konami showed an amazing demo of Snake Eater 3DS only to ends up making a cheap looking PS2 port. Third Part devs said they would support the hardware only to backpedal completely.
It's not really fair to expect the same amount of software that you can find on DS right now but getting interesting announcements would be nice. It doesn't help that a lot of 3DS games right now are simply ports of HD, PS2 and N64 titles (Zelda OOT, Star Fox, Metal Gear Solid : Snake Eater, Street Fighter IV, Tales of the Abyss, Devil Survivor, RE Mercenaries). GAF was also highly critical of the PSP because its library was filled with ports.

That occurred to me as well, but I figured I had to stop parsing the list at some point. That and some people are still in their honeymoon phase with it, so why rock the boat.Foffy said:I would be more concerned because he included Mercenaries 3D.

I don't exactly remember the first year or two for the DS being hot either. Like all things it'll take time.Vamphuntr said:

How many projects have been canned for 3DS?DragonKnight said:
It's a shame this was canceled, but the writing was on the wall for a while...
Inafune should make a new Mega Man-like character, and hire this team to make the first game in the series.
I wish Japanese teams would stop taking this shit, and find U.S. publishers to help spin them off.
For example, I think a U.S. publisher would jump at the chance to fund a HD SotN-alike by IGA, if he were looking to do anything like that.

I don't know if I would say cancelled since a couple weren't officially announced, but from what was expected and we're not getting anymore, I got:
Saints Row
Assassin's Creed*
MML3
Sega game delayed
It's not as bad as people are making it out to be, 3DS might still get an AC game, it's just that the game that they were thinking about making for the 3DS turned into Revelations and the rest is history.
