The GDC awards are a pretty big deal, because it’s one of the few gaming awards shows that isn’t chosen by the public and isn’t chosen by some big name media company (like the VGAs)– the winners of this award are chosen by developers, for developers. Winning one of these means your peers who work in the same industry as you think highly of your product, and that’s a pretty cool thing!

You can find the nominees for all of the GDC Awards this year (which happens on March 27th at GDC) after the jump.

The art definitely shares a few similarities!

Of the art, Vigil said on Facebook:

During the launch of Darksiders II for Wii U, we crafted tribute art around the Darksiders franchise as a tip of the hat to one of our favorite games.

We felt the community and fans of both Vigil and Darksiders should get to see these awesome pieces of work.

Two of Club Nintendo’s most-popular rewards are now missing on the site. Perhaps you’ve noticed that both the 3DS game card case and gold nunchuck are nowhere to be found. They’re not in the “Currently Unavailable” section, as they were in the past.

Are these two rewards gone for good? Let’s hope not!

Thanks to Osh for the tip.

TOKYO, JAPAN — JANUARY 26, 2013 — Index Corporation (headquarters: Setagaya, Tokyo, CEO: Yoshimi Ogawa) has announced a collaboration with Nintendo Co., Ltd. on a new RPG for the recently launched game console, Wii U™. The collaboration was unveiled as part of the Nintendo Direct presentation on Wednesday. The title is a joint effort between the ATLUS brand and the Nintendo Fire Emblem series.

The ATLUS brand has released many popular titles including the Shin Megami Tensei series and Persona series. Recognizing the raving fan base of the Shin Megami Tensei series, and considering ATLUS brand’s commitment to high quality content and game development, the partnership is a natural fit for the two brands.

Currently, Index is earnestly proceeding with development, while Nintendo will deliver news out to the customers.

Prior to this announcement, Index had only developed and released games from its own brand, ATLUS, but this collaboration is intended to be a new step for multimedia expansion.

From this joint development, Index hopes to expand its own brand, as well as optimize the efficiency of its resource placement and increase revenue.
