THQ Onboard Revolution
Company president pledges support, hints at aggressive Nintendo.
by IGN Staff
September 8, 2005 - Tonight at THQ's year-end press event, IGNcube caught up with company president Brian Farrell and quizzed him on Revolution plans. Farrell did confirm that THQ is developing "games for Revolution." Providing more details than that, Farrell indicated wide support for all the next-generation consoles including Revolution, saying, "THQ's plan is to serve gamers no matter what platform they are on." Backing that up, he also firmly stated, "We are commited to Nintendo's [Revolution]."
However, when asked about what plans Nintendo has laid out for THQ, Brian was hush-hush on the matter. But he claims that based on his discussions with the hardware giant, he feels that "Nintendo is waking up."
Finally, when confronted with the question of whether or not THQ was in possession of development hardware, Mr. Farrell declined to provide specifics due to non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). All he would say was that "We're seeing more from Nintendo now [for Revolution] than we have an any other Nintendo platform."

What was the last good game they made?

They've made a good game? Well, Sphinx was a decent game, but it seems everything else they make is liscensed crap.

Agreed, THQ isn't exactly one of the best publishers out there... but liscenced junk sells too, so it's good news I guess.

Yeah, THQ makes mostly licensed crap, though I do give them a pat on the back for Destroy All Humans!
Hey, they may not be the best third party but still, this shows third parties are taking an interest in Revolution, and that's a good sign.

Umm.. hello, guys, we're forgetting Quest 64...!

With good reason.

doesn't THQ publish alot of big name games like the Tom Clancey shit or something? Or did they publish Splinter Cell? I forget...
Regardless, THQ is a huge publisher.

Tom Clancy games are Ubisoft.
THQ learns to love Nintendo - Great Rumbler - 10th September 2005
I think Ubisoft publishes Splinter Cell.

Hey, I said that already... a minuite before you did... :)

Spectaculus!

Yeah, Ubisoft are the ones with QUALITY.
And, THQ has published good games, but they didn't have a hand in making them, so I don't really count that, especially if they only published it for one region.
The reason we aren't saying "except Quest 64" is because Quest 64 is NOT an exception. It sucks.
THQ learns to love Nintendo - A Black Falcon - 11th September 2005
I don't think they developed Quest 64, though...
