Midway has been able to hold on to the Mortal Kombat series for almost 20 years, but now the company is looking to part ways. Documents show that the publisher is looking for “execution of an asset purchase agreement for the sale of Midway’s Mortal Kombat franchise assets”. Midway has apparently withheld $3,755,000 in employee payments in bonuses for those who offload Wheelman and the rights to the Mortal Kombat franchise.

Back in 2002, Nintendo had sent out an interactive tech demo featuring Peach’s Castle to certain developers. Essentially, the point of the demo was to display the graphical capabilities of the GameCube. In each room, a different graphical effect is present.

This information comes from the latest edition of Iwata Asks for the DSi…

“Nintendo doesn’t have any intention of directly competing with existing products, but the mass media has a tendency to portray everything as a rivalry between opposing companies. It seems some people have the impression that we want to compete with cell phones or the iPod, that putting cameras or music players in our devices is out of character for us. I hope those who have such an impression will take an interest in what Nintendo can make when it dedicates itself to pleasing as many people as possible who pick up a DS, and I hope they’ll actually pick one up themselves.” – Satoru Iwata

Nintendo Asks U.S. Trade Representative to Help Combat Global Video Game Piracy
Nintendo Calls Out Brazil, China, Korea, Mexico, Paraguay and Spain

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo has outlined a list of countries around the globe that remain leaders in denying adequate and effective protection of video game products. In its annual comments to the U.S. Trade Representative under the “Special 301” process, Nintendo has singled out countries where piracy is rampant and has asked the United States to take further steps to combat it.

Nintendo reports that piracy of its most popular products, the Nintendo DS™ and Wii™ systems, has increased during the year. Nintendo attributes this increase to the availability of circumvention devices, such as “game copiers” and “mod chips.” These devices skirt the product security embedded in Nintendo’s famous products and enable the play of illegal Nintendo software.
