Update: (3/11/15) It’s not a mobile game as many had expected, but it isn’t for a Nintendo platform. The game is “Tembo The Badass Elephant” – read about it here.

The postcard above, coming from Game Freak and SEGA, was sent out to certain folks today. It seems to be teasing a potential collaboration between the two companies. I have no idea what this is about – and there’s a possibility that this has nothing to do with Nintendo – but I figured this was worth sharing!

There’s been a very tricky topic making the rounds today. I’m not going to go into details here, but an exploit has been discovered involving OlliOlli’s cross-buy functionality.

Curve Digital, the game’s publisher, is definitely aware of what’s going on. The following tweet was just published on Curve’s Twitter account a short while ago:

We're flattered people are prepared to compromise their account security for a copy of OlliOlli on 3DS, but we wouldn't recommend it.

Curve Digital spokesperson Paul Watson also told Eurogamer:

“Before opting in to Nintendo’s Buy One Get One Free initiative, the company made clear that we could do it one of two ways, and both were potentially open to exploitation beyond our control. Despite this, we’re very happy with the cross-buy sales on Nintendo’s platforms so far, and will be taking part in the initiative again where possible.”

Jonathan Biddle leaves Curve and forms new studio, will continue working with the company

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Jonathan Biddle has moved on from Curve Studios. However, that doesn’t mean he’s cutting ties with the company.

Biddle, formerly the design director for Curve Studios, has created new studio “onebitbeyond”. He will now continue work on his new project “White Space” (unclear if the game is coming to Wii U). Curve is publishing White Space, so Biddle’s relationship with the company remains unaffected.

While at Curve, Biddle led the way on the Fluidity games for Wii and 3DS. He also worked on Stealth Inc and Explodemon.
