You know I think you are right, he said the same thing about MegaMAn Network Transmission, I guess to him:
Cel-shading=Zelda ripoff?
Anyhow, more info on the game.

The Japanese newspaper Nihon Keizai Shimbun (or Nikkei for short) reported in its Wednesday morning edition that Nintendo's investment in Skip, Ltd. has resulted in a new type of game with Giftpia (although oddly, the game's title is never actually mentioned in the article).

Well if I'm not mistaken, this is the same relationship Nintendo has with Square for Final Fantasy: Crystal Crhonicles which means that they get funds from the FUNd q thing that the old President set up before he left.

According to Nikkei's English website, Giftpia is now set to support multiple players, which was not the case the last time we heard anything about the game. The article goes on to confirm that, like Animal Crossing, Giftpia really has no set goal for players to accomplish, nor does it have an epic quest to complete. It's an open-ended game whose course depends on the player's interactions with other characters.

Well, I never heard about Giftpia supporting multiple characters, but I don't know much about the game to begin with. I'm just curious as to how it will work.
So this is basically Animal Crossing with more sidequests or something, I think the game could be cool, I mean a relaxing pace with no real goal in mind is cool sometimes.

Nikkei also notes that Skip was the first company created with money from Nintendo's "Fund-Q", and that Nintendo has provided half of Giftpia's 500 million yen (about $4.5 million USD) budget.

Well there you go, the article confirmed what I said before, I should start reading this stuff before I write. |
