Dragon quest 11 and FFlV are confirmed for NX.
I do not doubt one bit that KH3, FF7 Remaster, FFXV will come to the NX as well. Square is realizing that the JRPG audience is in Nintendo systems. It's just a fact especially looking at the 3DS. Square Enix also realized that they did their best work on Nintendo systems, and that Nintendo is willing to help them with anything they need. Square Enix is just coming back home, and Cloud is a true "building the bridge" act.
Just a reminder. Square refused to put Cloud in Playstation All-Stars as well. So Nintendo must be pretty special to Square now.
Squaresoft and Enix were hige on the SNES. Maybe the NX is finally the Nintendo console that SquareEnix like enough to develop for. I think both had merged after they left Nintendo.
If a KH game comes to the NX, that's a pre-order for me. I liek the KH series. I just can't justify buying a new console for them. Well I will buy the NX but that's for more than just KH.
I might even get FF14 for NX. Might is the core word here as I am not really a FF (main series) fan. But if the game is good enough I just might get the standard version of it.
My question is why all of a sudden in SquareEnix coming back to Nintendo? I wonder what has changed to allow this to happen?
I don't think it's NX hardware power. My reasoning for that is XCX existing proves the WiiU can do amazing things. It could be a better software/game SDK for the NX by Nintendo and easier ways to cross develop for the NX as well as other platforms and ports.
We need ot remember that the WiiU on launch had amazing 3rd party support too. Nintendo screwed it all up though by not having a good Nintendo made game on launch. 3rd party games are rarely Nintendo console sellers but once the console is bought people will buy tons of 3rd party games for the Nintend console. Nintendo forgot that with the WiiU. Lets hope Nintendo do not forget this with the WiiU. People do buy their PS consoles for FF games. People do buyNintendo consoles for Mario, Zelda, Fox etc etc. FF games will probably not sell Nintendo consoles on their own as most of the FF fans are PS fans also. But for people (just like me) who already own a NX (for whatever great NX game Nintendo put out on launch), I will buy KH (and possibly FF14) as 2nd and 3rd games.
But if the NX launch is WiiU launch repeat I will not buy the console on launch day. I did not buy the WiiU on launch. I waited till a deal came out that interested me. I am just like everyone else. No one buys Nintendo consoles for the hardware. It's all about the software and the experience you have while you play it, ie the fun. Nintendo consoles are just the price of admission to paly the games, they are not the reason themselves like the PS consoles are for the PS fans, who love their PS hardware on it's own.
. You're just so good with getting the info out there. Well done. At least I shared the times for everyone.
