Job well done buddy.

My definition has it covered.

All Nintendo games go through Miyamoto whether they be eshop titles developed by a new hire or a title made by Platinum Games.

He is the one dictating what gets made and what doesn't get made, nothing slips by him.

Makes sense to me. I think the other guy thought Roto13 was saying that TW101 is a non-Nintendo game or something.

I don't know what kind of logic you are using, because TW101 is published by Nintendo in collaboration with Platinum games. P* developed it, but it is considered Nintendo property.

Same with Sin & Punishment, Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower: Different developers, but Nintendo owns the IP.

I only think about devs owned by Nintendo, a contracted dev could make Wonderful 101 into Ugly 202 and release on PS4, like Demon's Souls that went to 360 as Dark Souls.

If they pay for it, then its Nintendo in my eyes.

If they pay for development, their producers are all over the project. Who does the grunt work doesn't matter as much as who is in charge of the project.

Pokemon Channel (lol remember that?) is just as much Nintendo as IS's fire emblem or EAD's Mario.

That's....what he said.

Though why you list Xenoblade there when it was developed by a Nintendo studio is beyond me.

Yeah, they could. But it would be Ugly 202. Wonderful 101 would still be a Nintendo game.

Saying Monolith isnt Nintendo is like saying Naughty Dog isnt Sony. If its Nintendo's IP, if they own the rights to the IP, then its Nintendo. If its 1st or 2nd party its Nintendo. Last Story, Xenoblade, and Wonderful101 are all Nintendo.

Yes but if it's essentially the same game, a sequel, improved from the original, then it'll quickly lose it's meaning as a Nintendo IP for me at least.

It can't lose it's meaning as a Nintendo IP because it simply IS a Nintendo IP. Nintendo could make another one if they wanted. They could put the characters in Smash Bros. if they wanted.

It's theirs. A Nintendo IP.

Well, they could make imitations of the IP but technically speaking all characters and other things within the game belong as both a joint copyright of both Nintendo/Platinum games.

Meaning to say unlike Dark Souls (or Soul Edge for that matter), it can't reference anything from the original without Ninetndo's approval. (I was going to mention they learned their lesson after Rare broke off from Nintendo. This is one of the reasons Silicon Knights can't make a new Eternal Darkness and can only make a "spiritual successor" in the form of Shadow of the Eternals.)

As does the opening cinematic in the game where the first name you see is "Nintendo" in that classic logo.

What counts as "Microsoft" to you guys? Is Gears of War "Microsoft"? Because according to some of you guys' logic, it's not. Epic is not owned by Microsoft in the same way Platinum isn't owned by Nintendo. What about Halo? Is that "Microsoft"? Well, Microsoft didn't own Bungie, so that's the same story. On the other hand, Nintendo owns Monolith Soft... So how is X not a Nintendo game?

Microsoft did own Bungie.

Right, it's developed by Next Level and published by Nintendo. You are saying you don't consider it to be a 'Nintendo' game, correct?

Companies they own. Just grown up on that idea. That's why the Dreamcast hurt so bad. Sega made all their studios autonomous and immediately they started talking about PS2 ports and support.

So I don't count Platinum and such. I got mocked a while ago for not realising Sony had bought Naughty Dog because I made such a distinction.

They're not owned by Nintendo and you're classifying it as a non-nintendo game? Well I suppose each to their own.

Sorry, my bad, but I guess that doesn't change my point. I guess Bungie and Halo are comparable to X and Monolith, then. There's no reason why it shouldn't count as Nintendo.

If you're only counting games made by companies they own then that immediately means the following are not Nintendo games:

Pokemon games
Kid Icarus Uprising
Mario and Luigi RPG games
Star Fox Assault
Luigi's Mansion 2
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS

Among others.


Those aren't Nintendo games? Really? That logic is so...wrong.

Wait? Nintendo don't own Intelligent Systems? Since when?

But no, I don't consider them Nintendo games just because the IP is involved. That gets lazy and hazy. Is Binary Domain considered a Sega game or an Obsidian game? Surely we have the smarts to distinguish this.

My bad, I bring great shame to myself, haha. For some reason I thought IS was second party, not sure why. But you're right, they're first party.

If the game is developed with a Nintendo IP I don't see how you don't consider it a Nintendo game. Yeah, it is also that studio who made it's game...but it is still simultaneously a Nintendo game.

Binary Domain is a sega game because they published it, obsidian cant just make another one if they feel like it, they actually would have to ask sega if they can because sega owns the IP....because they published it.
