Deborah Bestwick of Team17 – best known for their Worms series and the recently released The Escapists – talked about interest in developing for Nintendo platforms on Twitter, also considering porting over existing games if the demand is high enough and the move is viable.

@twinworld @Team17Ltd personally own both and a super massive @NintendoUK fan. Listening:)

— deborah bestwick (@djbteamsters) July 29, 2015

The last game Team17 brought over to Nintendo platforms was Worms: Battle Islands for the Wii back in 2010, and since then their titles have been made mostly with mobile in mind, with the occasional PlayStation and Xbox only title.

Would you want to see Team17 bring their Worms series and new IP to Nintendo platforms in the future? Tweet at Deborah Bestwick and Team17 and let them know!

In honor of Satoru Iwata’s legacy, Game Developers Conference has posted Iwata-san’s entire keynote from his 2005 appearance, entitled “Heart of a Gamer”. There are a lot of interesting tidbits about his upbringing into video games and his rise to president of Nintendo.

Iwata’s charm exudes throughout the video, and you’ll notice that even throughout this informative and inspiring keynote, he can’t help but be full of humor and jovial as well.

Rest in peace, Iwata-san. We miss you.

It’s obviously something that has impacted us all and has hurt us deeply, and it’s quite hard to keep up with all of it, so a thread has currently been set up on Miiverse where you can post your thoughts and feelings concerning Iwata-san’s untimely passing. Head on over to the post below if you’d like to contribute in remembering Satoru Iwata and have a look at what everyone is saying and how they remember him.

Thanks James for the heads up
