Question: What indie studios do you think Nintendo has the best relationships with? I was at the store and noticed Nintendo had several download codes for indie games sitting with their 1st party games. I recognized all of them like, Undertale, Stardew, Hollow Knight, and Cuphead. (I can’t remember the last 2 games I saw so it’s up to your imagination.) I was wondering if anyone had an inside scoop on these relationships and why these Indie Games got the retail download code treatment.
This next part isn’t a question, just wishful thinking. I bring up this question, because ever since playing Hollow Knight a year back, I’ve always have wanted The Knight for smash, in some form, whether it be through an actual fighter or Mii Skin. All the other Nintendo indie games I saw at the store have been incorporated into smash, and it’s probably due to the close relationship they have with Nintendo (excluding Stardew, which isn’t in smash.) Hollow Knight has had no smash activity yet, and unlike Stardew, he feels and looks like he should be in a fighting game.
To wrap this all up, I’m not asking for people to just tell me Hollow Knight is unreasonable, I just want the insiders scoop on Nintendo relations with their Indie Studio partners, and what paths they open up. Thank you for your time :)
edit: here’s a helpful little chart to explain what I’m asking
Toby Fox (Undertale) —> good relationship —> smash and retail download codes Studio MDHR (Cuphead) —>good relationship—> smash and retail code ConcernedApe (Stardew) —> good relations—> port and advertising?(not sure what else) Team Cherry (Hollow Knight) —> good relations? —> [insert good Nintendo thing here]
