Unprecedented: Nintendo Will Announce Big Third-Party Partnerships at E3

[Immaculate]

When asked about third-party support for Nintendo from Canadian developers, Trepanier first pointed out that Nintendo and Ubisoft continue to have a relationship (although it's not the healthy one it used to be) and teased that "at E3 you’ll be hearing about more big third-party partnerships."

"We would love to have [them] and you’ll hear in a few weeks about some interesting partnerships. We’ve already over the past year opened up and aggressively sought licensing deals in lots of different areas.

But will they be unprecedented?

 

[Newtype-001]

Unprecedented.

 

[Tenki]

Hopefully it's a combo involving Platinum and Nazo no Murasame Jō.

 

[Princess Viola]

hmm

interested and curious about what this will bring

Spoiler

probably some ports of some ps360 games i bet

 

[KingBroly]

more third part Amiibos and nothing else.

Already sold out

 

[AlphaStriker]

it's not the same game

Classic Reggie.

 

[Nanashrew]

A new Triforce perhaps?

 

[MrT-Tar]

Hopefully one involves Platinum

 

[Crocodile]

If Nintendo were to get some 3rd parties back on board that would only be a good thing for gamers. That being said:

I'll believe that when I see it.

LOL even Joe is throwing shade LOL

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Nintendo is funding Metal Gear Rising 2

[JoeM86]

I'll believe that when I see it.

 

[takriel]

Yeah, Nintendo x FromSoftware's new gritty Zelda game is the reason it got delayed into 2016. Total overhaul.

 

[McDougles]

Nintendo of Canada guy...quoting NPD numbers...

Or does Canada = America when it comes to NPD?

 

[Acquiescence]

Bit futile by this point isn't it? Start again next gen I say.

 

[Drilbit777]

I don't know that sounds like a bit of a stretch but Nintendo has been open to collaborations in the past like with Koei and Namco so it wouldn't be impossible.

 

[RespectThySole]

I'll believe that when I see it.

This.

 

[Sintoid]

Hopefully one involves Platinum

The only answer

 

[Bishop89]

Ubisoft most likely, and most likely just dance.
Probably skylanders too.

I don't see anything significant to be honest.

 

[Sir TapTap]

I'm sure they'll have a couple of unannounced third party (japanese) things just like last year. Nothing like "next asscreed on Wii U" or anything though.
I'll laugh if they had to pay Ubisoft to release that creepy looking party game.

 

[crinale]

Hyrule Warriors 3DS is indeed a big partnership with a third party dev.

 

[Reverend Funk]

nintendo finally going third party you heard it here first folks

 

[Village]

My money is on a bunch of amibo sky landers type stuff.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Nintendo will team up with McDonalds to make shitty ass amiibos the toy's in happy meals for a month!

 

[Kyou]

Arkham Asylum port incoming.

Arkham Asylum ALL LOCKED UP EDITION

only 59.99

 

[Moonlight]

Probably more Japanese developer/publisher partnerships, which is honestly... completely fine with me. I'd prefer that, actually.

 

[?oe?oe]

So close.

 

[jjonez18]

Calling it: Nintendo x From Software game.

My wallet is tingling.

 

[Sterok]

Keep saying it, and it might be true one day. Probably not next week though.

 

[tim.mbp]

Wii U is now a Steam Machine!

 

[Zaventem]

We had something like this last time for the Wii U and look what happened.

 

[Nightengale]

With publishers or developers?

 

[Crayon]

Nintendo needs to get third parties to co develop the new console/hand held/mobile lineups.

The current buy nintendo hardware just for nintendo software paradigm is a mockery of the old ways. The nes was a powerhouse because of third party games.

 

[Blobbers]

Maybe they've been working closely with Electronic Arts. They have an unprecedented friendship with those guys.

 

[M1ch04c4n0]

So they finally realize they need to go over to the third-party offices and direct the people assigned to the projects like middle-schoolers? Took them enough time, like, SINCE THEY LAUNCHED THE WII U.

 

[Interceptor]

Bought Platinum.

 

[Dimitri LH]

Clearly its Nintendo X Capcom X Sega X Namco fighter or platforming game thats to come.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Another Sonic game for Wii U

 

[Pikma]

Nintendo finally opening up their wallet? This should be interesting.

Don't get your hopes up, it'll end up being one of those Koei Tecmo/Namco Bandai collaborations, at best

 

[Vazra]

Get From Software to do Lost Kingdoms 3 Ninty!

 

[Hatchtag]

-Ryu in Smash
-Hyrule Warriors 3DS
-Pokken coming to Wii U

There's three big third-party partnerships that everyone already knows about yet haven't been confirmed yet.
