SE finally gets some brains.

It would still hold back their handheld games though (especially on NX), since they'll need to take mobile constraints into consideration.

They are talking about handheld games, which are mostly stuff that is tightly budgeted. Games like I am Setsuna and to a lesser extent World of Final Fantasy.

You are not going to see Dragon Quest XI on mobile. Or Dragon Quest Heroes 3. Or Kingdom Hearts 3. Even if those games are released on the NX. (Not saying those 3 games are going to have a NX version)

But then you have stuff like I am Setsuna, World of Final Fantasy, DQxFF Fortune Street and the likes, which have a Vita and PS4 versions. Those games are more tightly budgeted. And WoFF looks amazing, but it's a rather simple game tech wise.

At some point, you are not going to be held back by the Vita, or Android, or whatever, but the fact that in Japan developers create games that only need to sell 100, 200 or 300k units to break even.

This is good. I'm more likely to be carrying my phone around than a handheld

 

[zelas]

I can get behind this.

 

[sublimit]

Now?
Why am i under the impression they have been doing this for years?

But TWEWY isn't even a good game.

There is always one person who says Citizen Kane is not a good movie.

I'm too lazy to read through this thread, but hopefully everything will be localized?

Why not to make it also on other platforms like consoles and PC as digital releases? it will bring them more costumers and money.

They're mostly already doing that.

Yeah because the world ends with you is the citizen Kane of gaming. I tried to get into it several times and couldn't. It bores me to death every time I try.

 

[Kyrios]

Okay, okay, I'll do whatever it takes for a new TWEWY. God. Just do it.

Yup, same.

Then that is your problem, not games fault.

Also, I didn't say TWEWY is Citizen Kane of videogames. I merely commented on the fact that someone out there will hate anything that is deems great by many.

does this mean that they will do MORE handheld games, right? because it seems to me that they were already doing more mobile games than portable ones, so if we have to read the OP sentence in a positive way, maybe we can hope for mobile games to be ported also to portable devices...or not?

 

[Diprosalic]

as long as that doesn't mean dumbed down and ugly i'm okay with that.

I read it as the opposite, they need mobile ports to justify development in a declining handheld market. Maybe im wrong.

 

[timberger]

Surprised they didn't make this a priority sooner tbh.

But TWEWY isn't even a good game.

Agreed. Can't decide which part of it I hated more, the controls or the story.
