Game Freak, the creators of the handheld Pokemon titles, wish to hire a 3D modeler. Now I’m wondering: What does the company have in mind? We’ve heard that a Pokemon Wii game is in development, but Game Freak has yet to create a console title. In fact, Game Freak has little experience with 3D in general. So will the developers take the plunge into the console world? Or will they make use of 3D models for the next handheld title? Perhaps nothing will come of the hiring at all! So while this is a little piece of interesting news, we’ll have to wait and see if there’s any significance behind it.

Paris, France – October 05, 2009. Today, Ubisoft announced the acquisition of the development studio Nadeo, creator of TrackMania, the cult multiplayer car racing video game.

Set up in 2000 in Paris and comprising a highly talented team of developers, the Nadeo studio has won acclaim for the quality of its multiplayer technology which offers one of the best available on-line game experiences and has already notched up 10 million registered players. Its flagship game – TrackMania – has 700,000 unique players a month and is a pioneer in the sharing of creations (almost 15 million custom tracks created since 2008). It is also the first eSport franchise for racing games.

“The acquisition of Nadeo is an important step in our expansion within the on-line gaming sector”, said Yves Guillemot, Chief Executive Officer of Ubisoft. “Through Nadeo, Ubisoft will gain an expert team, one of the best on-line technologies around as well as a flagship multiplayer game that enjoys an unrivalled reputation among a loyal and committed community. We are excited about the idea of introducing TrackMania to an ever-wider audience and sharing the expertise of Nadeo’s teams with our Group’s other developers”.

“Joining Ubisoft is a huge opportunity for us to develop and innovate and take Nadeo to new horizons”, said Florent Castelnérac, Chief Executive Officer of Nadeo. “Nadeo’s team was keen for this acquisition to happen. Like players in a community, we see ourselves as being a complementary fit with Ubisoft and believe that we can share and quickly move ahead together”.

The word on the street is that Nintendo is set to hold a retailer briefing/conference this coming Thursday. But will there any significant revelations from the event?

The thing is, these types of conferences are fairly standard for Nintendo. Just about every month, the Big N participates in retailer meetings so that upcoming first and third-party games can be displayed. Most recently, the release dates for a few games (including Sin and Punishment 2) were announced at one of the conferences, but other than that, there was nothing too noteworthy shared.

Also, it was made publicly known in 2008 that there would be a “Fall Conference.” But unlike this year, that information was published about a month before the event took place.

Taking all of that into consideration, in addition to the fact that Nintendo’s Denise Kaigler told IGN that the company is “not planning to do another big summit for all media this year,” the possibility of a big conference on Thursday doesn’t seem entirely likely. However, Kaigler’s statement was somewhat ambiguous, therefore one has to wonder whether or not that includes Nintendo’s annual conference in Japan.

Right now, no one can say for sure what will happen on Thursday. Will this just be another simple retail meeting, or will it shape up to be an event filled to the brim with announcements? Well, we’ll find out for sure in just a matter of days.
