Will the Team Ninja X Nintendo Love Fest Continue?

[KingBroly]

Seeing recent interviews with both Team Ninja and Nintendo seem to indicate that the 2 parties have mutual understanding and wish to continue their partnership.

Do you think this relationship will continue? Do you think the fans will allow it?

Personally, IF it continues, I want to see Ryu Hayabusa in Smash Bros. and potentially have a Ryu + Samus Action game Crossover.

I'll just be happy to see future Team Ninja releases on Nintendo platforms.

Dead or Alive Dimensions on the 3DS is great! Could we see Dead or Alive 5 as a launch title and exclusive for Nintendo's next home console? Being their last two releases have been Nintendo exclusives, it's not out of the question.

If Other M is any indication, I'd rather they not.

I never cared for the new Ninja Gaiden or Dead or Alive games anyway (yes, I've played them).

TN certainly isn't a bad developer, but I think their games are a bit overrated, and I'd like to see Nintendo get better developers to make their properties, if they're not going to do it themselves (which they should, because quite frankly, the best F-Zero, Metroid, Star Fox, etc. games, were made by N themselves).

i would like to see Ryu in SSB

i'm torn on this. I like Team Ninja, but I didn't like the direction they took with Other M, and the little info we've gotten on NG3 indicates they're taking it in a similar direction. Trying to flesh out characters like Samus & Ryu Hayabusa is just going to make alot of people mad regardless of how well it's done. TN doesn't have many IPs, so maybe they should just start on a new one, rather then changing the few they have/get to work on...

back on topic: I'd love to see TN games released on a Nintendo platform, but i wouldn't trust them with another Nintendo IP. Crossovers like Ryu In SSB or Samus in DoA are fine, and i'd even be open to a full-on crossover game of some kind... Nintendo vs Tecmo Koei? sure, why not

Agreed, at least about not trusting them with a Nintendo IP. I have no problem with seeing Tecmo games on Nintendo platforms, so long as they're good.

As for Ryu being in SB....I really didn't like Snake being in there. And I have always been resistant to the idea of turning Smash Bros. into a "Video Game All-Stars" type thing. It's supposed to be Nintendo franchises. So...with that in mind, if they were going to do that, I'd at least prefer if it was the classic NES version of Ryu, not the modern "Hey look! I'm wearing a tight leather outfit!" version.

How about a new IP?

[Rock Lobster]

Considering both Samus and Ridley made a cameo in Dead or Alive Dimensions, I wouldn't call a crossover too far-fetched. I'm honestly not all too thrilled with the idea after how they treated Samus, but I do think if the two collaborated to make a new IP(as Zidane mentioned), then we could have a fresh action series on our hands with no alterations to current characters.

Please stop blaming Team Ninja for the portrayal of Samus in Other M.

Team Ninja didn't touch the story or cinematics in the game. Nintendo wrote and directed, and the cutscenes were done by a separate company altogether.

All Team Ninja was responsible for was the gameplay. Which, by any reasonable account, was the best part of the game. The responsibility for the fan backlash to the game lies solely with Nintendo.

[Devil_Rising]

No. Sorry. The gameplay was pretty terrible. Especially the "turn the Wiimote to aim" crap. Just didn't work, and wasn't fun to play.

[Eternal Rain]

Dead or Alive 5 as a Cafe launch title, or maybe a new IP entirely are what I think will likely happen if they continue with this newfound relationship.

I wouldn't mind another Metroid in the style of Other M, though, as long as the gameplay is kept top notch (if the gameplay's top notch then the story won't be much of a deal breaker for me).

That's exactly how I felt about Other M. If the gameplay had been a lot better, and it had been a lot more fun to play, I really wouldn't have cared that much about the crappy story.

While I disagree, please note that saying the gameplay was the best part does not necessarily imply it was good - just that it was better than the rest of the game.

Really? I wasn't aware of that. I'm sorry! To be entirely fair to Team Ninja, all aspects of the gameplay I've seen look pretty great, so I feel pretty bad now for not knowing it wasn't all their doing.

Good point.

I'd like to see another combo of a TN or Nintendo franchise. I LOVED M:OM so I'm definitely not opposed to it. Still sad Samus wasn't playable in DOA:D

A lot of people say the best F-Zero was the one on Gamecube and that was made by Sega...

[MasterofMonster]

Hopefully, Team Ninja will help Nintendo making a New Mario game. Or Pikmin. Or Kirby.
Would be epic, hehe~<3

[Devil_Rising]

IF Team Ninja is allowed to work with Nintendo again, I'd like to see it be a new IP. I didn't like what they did with Metroid (at all), and I really don't want to see them do something similar with any other established Nintendo franchise. A new IP? I'm fine with that.

I've already seen a few 3rd parties, like Namco, take steaming dumps all over franchises that I love. See my signature quote. lol
