For me, if Nintendo were going to go down the buying a studio route to 'replace' Rare, it would be either Retro or Platinum.

Nintendo already own Retro- it was founded with their money by ex-Turok devs.

Ooh, I didn't see this appear! Great read, as ever folks. I'll take beemoh's description as a compliment, I tHink.

that's Nintendo's problem really for not making a system 3rd parties want to make game for.

That's not entirely true, remember how a bunch of third parties were on board prior to launch & how they said Nintendo were listening/working closer than ever before? I can't help but feel Nintendo got left in the lurch in a bit with only a handful of devs keeping their promise.

Also as I've always said as far as games go give me quality over quantity, for example I'd rather have one game that I can play for 100's of hours over say 5 that don't last me anywhere near that length of time.

True but take MGSV:GZ if you only look at the main game of it, it's 2hrs I'd sooner have 5 of those then 1 game that last me 100 hrs.

That's not the best example/game to use there as Ground zeroes' length is totally dependant on the type of player you are, if you're a completionist then you aren't going to see everything it has to offer in two hours.

Anyhow, not sure why I brought hours/game length into it as that alone doesn't show if a game is quality or not I should've ended with this:

Yeah you should of as your statement was like you'd sooner have quantity eg a 100hr game which could be like of Two World's over 5 shorter games which could be far better quality eg The Last of Us. I know you can have both like Monster Hunter quality and length.

I've said during this discussion that Nintendo's exclusive will be better then Sony's & Microsoft's this year, so quality but the point was that's all there will be on the Wii U. Where's on the PS4 you can get what you would hope to be quality titles in Dragon Age III, Destiny, The Division for example with the few decent offerings from Sony eg The Order.

One of the reason's I love the dreamcast so much as the library is rather small 260ish games but nearly everyone of them is quality but take the PS2 which more then likely has 2000 games on it but only 25 games could be considered quality. So the PS2 definitely has the quantity but not the quality of the DC.

I don't see why this is a bad thing.
