Their games are more or less almost always of a consistently-high quality and fun to play. They may make "the same kind of games" over and over, but they never drop the ball with them and they are essentially the only developer making the kinds of games that they make, whereas everyone else is making the same game as everyone else. How many other games emulate Super Smash Bros. and to the same quality? How many other games emulate Mario games and to the same quality (Rayman and...what?). How many other games emulate Pikmin? How many other games emulate Bayonetta? How many other games emulate X? How many other games emulate Mario Kart? How many other games emulate Donkey Kong? How many other games emulate The Wonderful 101? How many other games will emulate whatever Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem turns out to be? How many games emulate Zelda and to the same quality (Darksiders is dead for now, so who knows with that)? Everyone is making a hundred thousand shooters, for example, so while Nintendo "floods" its own stuff with the "same" games, other developers are flooding the market with thousands of the same kinds of games.
It was disappointing to me overall. I also found the segment on third-party games incredibly amusing, as it basically amounted to the Deus Ex port and Ubisoft.
@ottoman673: Nintendo 100% owns Monolith Soft, so unless they sell them, it's an exclusive. Unless you're trying to imply that maybe they have a secret 3DS version in the works.
@burningstickman: Nah, I never bothered to join a guild at any point. I was concerned about having additional idiocy in the chat box when general chat covers that pretty well (especially on Taris Empire side a couple days ago...ugh).
@mewarmo990: On The Harbinger, my guys are as follows:
Republic
Tivauhn - Smuggler
Tivahwn - Trooper
Tivawhn - Jedi Knight
Tivahn - Jedi Consular
Empire
Tivauwhn - Sith Warrior
Tivaun - Imperial Agent
Tivawn - Bounty Hunter
Tivauwn - Sith Inquisitor
Yes, I intentionally chose to have all of them be some variation of Tivan, mostly because I honestly didn't really care what their names were, and the naming pattern would make it possible to determine whether it was me or not haha. Maybe at some point I'll get one of my Republic characters to 50, but for now it's just the Bounty Hunter and Imperial Agent.
@mewarmo990: The offer's open to anybody really, so it's something we could do. You'd need to get Empire guys on The Harbinger to at least level 10 I guess to get off the starter planets.
@burningstickman: Ah, that's right. I forgot about needing to be a certain level to leave the starter planets. Eh, I don't know, I did it for somebody's Sith Warrior and Smuggler near the end of the beta using my Sith Warrior and Trooper when they wouldn't have time to level up and finish their class stories, and it wasn't that bad as far as "boredom" is concerned. I honestly think it would be entirely alleviated by the characters being such low level, as it would simply be amusing to bring them up through it, especially when your companions are still added at the level they are "supposed" to be at, so you can have a companion 20+ levels higher than you.
