Ex Epic Games designer Cliff Bleszinski has taken to Twitter to express his love of Nintendo in a world of free-to-play and monetized games. Bleszinski has praised the Kyoto based company before on Twitter and has previously stated that he is a big fan of Super Mario 3D World. However, it seems as though he has forgotten about Nintendo’s forthcoming free-to-play title, Steel Diver.
I love that in a world of free to play- how are you monitizing- data analytics- A/B testing- Nintendo is still like “fun first, bitches.”

Cant find a better way to say it. I agree.
We don’t publish VG Chartz data as it isn’t reliable. We post GKF Chart Track (UK) and NPD Group (US) those are official numbers.
official numbers are not up yet
i thought they were about death and despair
is that an eye tattoo under your arm pit?
no it’s hair
Are you sure it isn’t shading, you know… a dark spot under your arm?
I think i would know :)
some nintendo games are good. and fun. but there are a lot of fun and good games that are not nintendo as well. then there are a lot of good and deep games. that’s where nintendo doesn’t win.
Nintendo has mother series, which have tons of dark tones and deep stories. Super Paper mario (though not favorite game) had a great story to it. Something like pokemon which is simple to everyone can be a very complex series. Nintendo can can make fun game with simple approachs but they can become deep, in gameplay and story.
Correction to your statement: Nintendo HAD the Mother series. They hardly do shit with the series anymore other than re-release older titles.
Except for Mother 3. They won’t even release that game into the states.
“But there are a lot of fun and good games that are not Nintendo as well” YOU DONT SAY.
Majora’s Mask said “I will drop a moon on you”
-Cliffy-?…
That’s because Nintendo do not compromise quality.
omg lol this made me laugh
“Nintendo is still like “fun first, bitches.””
This^
NINTENDO BETTER HIRE THIS BITCH AND MAKE HIM WORK ON SOMETHING HARDCORE NOT RAINBOW SHITTY ASS KID GAMES
Just because a game is colorful doesn’t make it “kiddie” Is megaman kiddie?, Donkey kong?, kingdom hearts? viewtiful joe? Most gamers are more childish then the statements they post about those games
ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE FOR KIDS
Conker’s Bad Fur Day so childish too colourful 4 me
Pikmin 3 ain’t for kids or casuals. I experienced it myself. Playing multiplayer with a friend. Suckedvso bad we had to play NSMBU.
I absolutely adore the Super Mario 3D World graphics and I’m an adult. It’s ever so nice to play something laid back :)
Super Mario 3D world, Pikmin 3 ánd Nano Asult are the best Wii U tittles to me so far.
Ignoring they’re “good” when compared to the other crap the Wii U has to offer.
Yeah man, dem kiddie games, let’s play GTA, Beyond Two souls, God of War fuck yeah, those are games for true men.
GTFO
Ignoring you seem to lack knowlege of what a rating system is. Also ignoring you’ll point out rated E=everyone, in which case I’ll reply:”ignoring that because it’s for everyone( kids too), there’ll be much censoring.” So by default those games are adult.
that’s pretty much all nintendo games are. which is not a bad thing at all.
Mario 3d world … All i have to say
But Steel Diver doesn’t have micro transactions….
I was playing Angry Birds GO! On my new Kindle Fire…. they wanted me to pay $50 for a new go-kart… FIFTY DOLLARS!!!… I deleted the game off of my tablet after I saw that..
lol thats why you avoid angry birds
Well I played the original Angry Birds and had no trouble playing the whole game. Didn’t see a single micro transaction…this is the first time I have seen something like this come from the Angry Birds developers.
It’s sickening… is this where the game industry’s heading?
that’s why I HATE “free” to play games. at least the very rare ninetndo ones like the upcoming steeldiver don’t do that.
I still have that angrybirds………I just get the free vehicles that you BUY with fake money. and the game cheats im 844 vs 840cc AND they are faster! and I barely hit anything. also………….meh. its fun for a while then feels like a CHORE to race the same thing over and over so you can uprade the kart and actually PROGRESS with unlocking the charcters.
this starts once you reach the AIR tracks. then the next one is one with stunts but I need about 20 thousand to unlock the last guy with the required cc and then spend another few hours so I can buy the Cheapest ( probably wil be around 15k the next time) kart so you can race in the next stage.
cant wait till ONLINE though………….that would basically be the only thing I play in that game
As soon as I saw that it had the ridiculous prices for karts, I said screw it. I’m not supporting this game. I would have understood if the karts were like $.99 or at MOST $5, but $50? That is a scam. Think of all the little kids who play the game on their parent’s tablets who “accidentally” buy the karts. THATS who the scam is for.
He means that Nintendo are working on a F2P Steel Diver.
The wii u sold more than the xbone!! Go to vgchartz and see the dec 21. And yes, super smario 3d world sold more than a million. Thats to the trolls.
YES.
Reblogged this on Curiosidades na internet.
shouldnt focus on fun be sth natural?
Put a arena fps on wii u no ironsights buttons to run or melee just run and gun.
He is right! This is the one thing that Nintendo does very well. I just got TlozAlbw and its fun, it doesnt have any of those annoyin 40 min cutscenes, seriously cutscene using in games generally should just die, devs nowadays put too much effort on those vids that dont really do nothing for gameplay . Nintendo is also one of those “cool” companies that doesnt make games for nerds(like valve or bethesda).
This is one of the major reasons why Microsoft and others pays people to bash on the Big N.
Exactly. It’s interesting to hear someone like Cliffy B do a 180 and be praising Nintendo so much. Same with Yoshida from Sony.
Sad thing is, that if Nintendo would just approach him and ask him to make a game, he would. He’s gone on record to say that that’s the only reason he hasnt made a game for Nintendo.
Nintendo is the type who like people to come to them… Doesn’t work well for Nintendo does it? They have been turning around as of late, though. Perhaps they will contact Cliffy B some time.
Perhaps they already have………. :)
Maybe thats why hes been so Pro-Nintendo as of lately, lets hope its true.
Wouldn’t it be something if the game that is being teased as a major 3rd party title coming to the Wii U is a new shooter designed by a new team headed by Cliff?
Or possibly a collaboration between Cliff and Miyamoto. Maybe that has been Miyamoto’s new IP all along? Who knows. I mean Cliffy B leaving Epic was right around the time Miyamoto start talking about his desire to possibility do a 3rd-person shooter. Who better to get for that than Cliff?
Is a 3d jazz jackrabbit!!!! PC elitist meltdown will happen!
Or unreal 4?!?! That’s a multiplat that has been abandoned.
That would kill two birds with on stone. It would give the Wii U a badly needed EXCULSIVE FPS and dispel the myth of it being underpowered as I’m sure Unreal 4 whenever and wherever it happens will be running on the newest iteration of Unreal Engine 4
I hope Nintendo wont be consumed by DLC, now that they have acquired a taste for it.
DLC should be first and foremost a reward, a thank you for players.
So far I don’t dislike the DLC’s that Nintendo has made, though Luigi U copy paste boss fights were a mild disappointment.
Luigi U was probably the best DLC ever made for a video game in terms of quality though. Think of all the DLC’s that were $10 or $20 that added two or three maps and missions to the game. Luigi U was a BRAND NEW GAME. Copy Paste boss fights might be a let down, but it is an impressive DLC to say the least.
Yes, I did enjoy it as a whole, but little too much copy paste for my taste.
Yep
…and that’s why Cliffy B. wants Nintendo to become 3rd party. Makes a lot of sense. Not.
I have a tablet and recently I decided to buy a game, but I changed my mind because tablet games are way too ass.
Fun first, bitches!
MERRY HAPPY NEW YEAR NINTENDRONE BITCHES~ I WILL WRECK YOU THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!! 2014 THE YEAR OF PINWHEEL! GET READY CUNTS
It’s the year of our holy empire that will destroy every opposition from all directions!
Show em’ who’s boss!
It’s true really. So many people focus on graphics and making money off micro transactions they forget what games are about: having fun. While graphics make a game look better, some of the best games are more artistic or minimalist in style. And micro-transactions are just shit. I’m not gonna pay to get the next level in Candy Crush or whatever. Fuck that.
I think he means Free To Play like those games that start bombarding you with “If you pay money you can use this option” or “get that benefit” the second you open them, thus the mention of the microtransaction thing.
Their fun is limited. Once when anyone beats a Nintendo game in a week or less, 90% of the time you will never play it again. I had Call of Duty for Wii U for more than a year now. And I still play it almost every day. It’s the best rip off game ever.
Not true, I play every game at least twice. There are reasons why I have 500+ hours on both pokemon and brawl. (Other than having no life,) because theg are fun as hell.
