Also, I love XSEED (and I hate ignition to death) but let's just say they were kind of unlucky with whom they chose to publish them, XSEED was of course mighty fine, but their advertising/establishment with communities and distribution is poor, and Ignition just plainly sucks.Jonnyram said:I'm not even sure what they've published recently. Nier being published by Square Enix was pretty telling.
MMV, not surprising. They were simply too bold. "Hey let's make loads of new IP with ridiculous budgets." They should have started off with way smaller projects.
My point? Atlus could have made the difference, as a publisher (and on the translations as well... damn you ignition)
They were unlucky, really.
Well, truth to be told, on cing's case nintendo could just offer them to start up a new studio for them, instead of "buying" them and clearing their depth.trinest said:Nintendo should just buy the remains of MMV and Cing.
Brownie Brown was made of Square Seiken Densetsu team dissidents after all, skip was made out of ex-love-de-lic employee's... AlphaDream was made out of square's mario rpg team dissidents... none of them were actually purchased (and lots of Rareware employee's made it over to other Nintendo studios, including Retro Studios)
Same happens elsewhere, with teams like feelplus being what's left of nautilus and stuff.
From a business standpoint CING is worth nothing, their good games were published (and overssen) by Nintendo anyway (counting little king story co-development aside) so they aren't really known to the consumer, but with that said I think their talent was the real deal and they should be saved as a working team, perhaps not through purchase but saved nonetheless.
