Who's gonna make LKS 2 now?
why not CING has been developing exclusively for nintendo for agesBentendo said:What about HAL? HAL was millions in debt and the president went to Yamauchi and asked to be saved. Yamauchi agreed to buy HAL on the account that they develop games exclusively for Nintendo.
I doubt a similar thing would happen here though.

That's for sure.Bentendo said:Because something tells me that Kirby is a more lucrative franchise than Hotel Dusk.
Nope, European countries only.nincompoop said:Shit, should I import Another Code R now if I don't want to miss out on it forever? Play.com has it for a good price, do they ship to the US?
Celine said:That's for sure.
Yamauchi made the right move that time, seeing how a couple of years later HAL would develop a new mega hit franchise with Smash Bros against all the odds.
Also Yamauchi requested Iwata as the new president of HAL ...
In this case there isn't any benefit for Nintendo to buy out Cing.
They could simply hire Cing's employees and let the company go bankrupt.
Well, the company could argue that releasing there games in other territories would generate enough income to stay afloat.Bentendo said:What about HAL?

I NEED SCISSORS said:Fuuuuck, what will become of Hotel Dusk (2) and Again?
Does it matter??Hero of Legend said:Just one problem; HAL's only second-party, stupidly not wholly-owned. :/
WHY though?!
Of all the companies that go hand-in-hand with Nintendo, HAL is that one, they're far too close for HAL to be merely second-party, hell how did Brownie Brown become 1st-party over HAL I'll never know.
Oh well, not like there's been any difference from them being 1st or 2nd-party I suppose. If only their console game output was less than fucking puny.

Shikamaru Ninja said:I think you are getting caught up in this "second-party" classification a little too much. But if you are referring to HAL ownership, the shares are split between Nintendo Co., Ltd, Hiroshi Yamauchi, Satoru Iwata, and a couple other guys including 2 original HAL guys. There is no need to change it.
Not even getting localized to Europe?duckroll said:No, that was a fake. The Japanese version is out though, and sold very poorly.

So was there ever a sequel to AC/TM?
SovanJedi said:Yes, the Wii version is a sequel set 4(?) years after the DS one, but it was never released in the US. I'm not so fond of the Another Code series but the Wii game is a solid title too.
It was released in English in Europe, though, and is definitely worth hacking the Wii to play. I loved it so much.DownLikeBCPowder said:Typical then that I would not be able to play it.
I believe it had a European release, though, so if your desire is great enough to check out a "How do I homebrew Wii?" thread and import it, it should at least be understandable.DownLikeBCPowder said:Typical then that I would not be able to play it.
