Among the characters included in Batman: Arkham Origns is Anarky. While he isn’t lumped into the assassin’s group, he’s still very much an adversary of Anarky. Plus, he still maintains his anti-government views.

Creative director Eric Holmes said the following during a recent episode of PlayStation Blogcast:

“Ultimately, [Anarky] is an anti-corporate, anti-government… technically an anti-villain as well. He’s a guy who kind of does bad things but believes he’s doing the right thing.”

“He doesn’t like big corporations trying to control our lives or the government trying to tell us what to do. And he believes those institutions should get kicked out, and wants to take them down.”

“He’s planted a bunch of bombs in these institutions in Gotham, and Batman’s gotta go there and he defuses those bombs. And further on, in the Most Wanted campaign for him, Batman can hunt him down to where he’s headquartered and take him on.”

Holmes has some advice for those who aren’t too familiar with Anarky: don’t look into him too much. This way, some of Origins’ surprise can be kept when players experience the game.

One of Nintendo’s most-recent high points – from a business perspective – was when the company churned out a profit of 555.2 billion yen for the year ending in March 31, 2009. This was also when the DS, Wii, and Mario franchise were all leading the way in terms of financial success.

Yet as of late, Nintendo hasn’t been able to reach the same kind of heights it achieved a few years ago. The Wii U has been struggling thus far, and overall business has seen a slight decline.

Nintendo has always been a hardware and software maker, but some analysts feel that this tradition should be broken. Among major overseas analysts, one of their sentiments is, “If Nintendo decided to cut loose from its hardware and software, their profit shares may increase 2 to 3 times.” Some also believe that if Nintendo considered leaving the hardware business and brought some of its IPs – such as Mario and Zelda – to smartphones, the company could experience a dramatic recovery.

Nintendo, however, is against such a move, with company officials expressing: “Performance is temporarily getting better, you can’t get a true feel for Mario on smartphone or tablet, and this would also lead to a decrease in brand value over the long term.”
