I know 100% for a fact, FOR A FACT, Nintendo has discussed internally the possibility of reviving older games using indies. I know there& #39;s been more than one such meeting too.

The issue is they don& #39;t seem to want to meet with indie devs who have only tasted moderate success.

I told a person there "nobody buys a Nintendo IP game based on who the developer is. Success shouldn& #39;t be the metric you guys use when vetting studios. It should be talent, followed by talent, and then talent.

You guys have great vetting. Use it to find high-character talent."

Thankfully you will see more indie outreach in the future and getting access to major IPs (even if they& #39;re not Nintendo& #39;s) will come down to talent. I know Square-Enix, Ubisoft, and Activision have people evaluating indie devs for potential projects, and "success" isn& #39;t criteria.
