We take a look at what they have done, what their trend happens to be, and what they have confirmed to be bringing to the table for gamers in the near future. From the brains that created the Metroid franchise to the ones that in turn created games based off of it. From the western action of NST to the eastern minds behind Intelligent Systems. From the stable backbone of EAD that almost completely supports Nintendo, to the small role-playing gem that is Brownie Brown. Fans of Nintendo are even willing to buy their console just to play the first party games.īut who are they? Here we have them. Pokémon created a huge phenomenon and spawned many copycats from companies wanting to get children to look at their stuff and "collect 'em all." Other games became showcases of technology like Star Fox, Wave Race and Pilotwings. and The Legend of Zelda introduced gameplay that was unprecedented for their time. They've created games that have become legends as well as push the boundaries of gaming. It's well known that Nintendo's first party crew is one of the driving forces behind their longevity and popularity in the industry. What do Nintendo's First- and Second-Parties Have In Store?
Wei Man takes a look at what Nintendo's first- & second-parties have to offer “The goal our company wants to achieve in the consumer games market is to become an existence leading the development of deep, immersive games with high originality in the download-only market,” Yamana said.īefore anyone asks, the Dragon Quest VII remake for Nintendo 3DS is being developed by ArtePiazza, who also developed the Nintendo DS remakes of Dragon Quest IV, V and VI.Generation-N - Article - Close to Home: What do Nintendo's First- and Second-Parties Have In Store? Two of these have already been released on the Nintendo eShop- The Denpa Men and The Denpa Men 2. At the time, Yamana informed us that his goal is to satisfy “high-level gamers” with cheaper-priced downloadable games. It makes one wonder why Yamana isn’t choosing to ramp up staff at Genius instead of reviving an older company-unless, of course, Heart Beat is being set up to develop games for non-Nintendo platforms, which we aren’t certain if Genius can do at the moment, as both Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are shareholders.Įarlier in the year, we had the opportunity to interview Manabu Yamana, and asked him about his goals in an increasingly competitive videogame market. Reviving Heart Beat is a little odd, as Genius Sonority is already a rather small studio, consisting of just 16 employees. More details of the re-launch will be shared next year, Yamana says, and mentions that Heart Beat will be doing business differently from where it left off. Now, Yamana intends to re-launch his old company after a decade of dormancy, he revealed over Twitter. Later, he was made one of the chief programmers, which was a role he filled up until Dragon Quest VII.

Prior to Heart Beat’s work on Dragon Quest VI and VII, Manabu was personally involved as a programmer on the series right from the first game. Prior to founding Genius Sonority, the studio behind games such as Pokémon Colosseum, Dragon Quest Swords and The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave, company president, Manabu Yamana, ran a studio named Heart Beat.īack in 1995, Heart Beat developed Dragon Quest VI on the SNES and later Dragon Quest VII on the original PlayStation.
