Saint's Row on 3DS is actually an XBLA game
Posted on Wednesday, 30 June 2010 by Speed, source: IndustryGamers
Saints Row is without a doubt one of the less obvious titles coming to 3DS but according to THQ Core Games VP Danny Bilson Nintendo really wanted to get the franchise on the new handheld.
The fact that it was already being developed for XBLA in 3D only made the decision easier for the publisher:
The fact that it was already being developed for XBLA in 3D only made the decision easier for the publisher:
"Now, we know how those go sometimes: sure, the first party wants it, but is it really going to work? The interesting thing about the game is we were already making it. We were already making it as our Xbox Live game and in 3D also. It’s designed for 3D already. So the 3DS version is an incremental cost. It’s not a big startup cost. Anything in a transmedia play has a column called marketing in it. It’s also a marketing tool. So how does that game model for us? I believe it will do great, especially if Nintendo is going to go mature and really do a big mature campaign on it. It’s a killer game. It’s got all the weird humor of Saints Row, and also its existence is part of the marketing plan to sell Saints Row 3. Also, all these games have hooks where, if you play it, it unlocks things in Saints Row 3. If you play Saints Row 3, it will unlock things in the 3DS game or the Xbox Live game. I don’t know if I was clear about that, but all of our extension properties all connect and unlock things in each other."
