THQ says 3DS content is on the way
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from THQ’s Danny Bilson…
“But we really have to choose where to play. We don’t just all of a sudden have eight launch titles for 3DS, because we couldn’t get there. Do we have stuff in the plans for 3DS? Yeah, of course we do. And remember, there’s two groups in THQ. There’s the kids, family, and casual group that supports a lot of platforms that my group wouldn’t be supporting, and I promise you they’re supporting more of the moving interface stuff because it’s more natural for their games. We can play anywhere, but we just don’t want to be de-focused.”
I am reaaaally curious to see what the Saints Row 3DS game is like. THQ has already unveiled Saints Row The Third, so I’m wondering when we’ll get a glimpse of the 3DS title. E3 would be a nice play to show it!

Nintendo’s Tanabe believes it is important to strengthen relationships with foreign developers
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Nintendo’s Kensuke Tanabe…
“I absolutely believe so (important to strengthen relationships with foreign developers). I work with other development partners, such as [Punch Out!! developer] Next Level Games in Vancouver and Monster Studios [of Pilotwings Resort] in Minneapolis. And they, much like Retro, really get our development philosophies. I want to find as many people as we can, as many great companies as we can to get involved with. I’m really looking for developers with a sense of craftsmanship. …there’s a real increase in the number of companies that look like they’re really running a business for business’ sake. There are many of those certainly within the midst of the gaming industry as a whole, or at least I feel that way.”
It’s important to note that Nintendo’s involvement with the projects being worked on by foreign developers is very important. Consider Next Level Games, for example. They created a standout title in Punch-Out!!, yet some of their other games such as Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon and Transformers: Cybertron Adventures have been mediocre.

Sony boss Jack Treton says Nintendo systems are “babysitting tools”
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
“They’re starting to run out of steam now in terms of continuing to be relevant in 2011 and beyond. I mean, you’ve gotta be kidding me. Why would I buy a gaming system without a hard drive in it? How does this thing scale? Motion gaming is cute, but if I can only wave my arms six inches, how does this really feel like I’m doing true accurate motion gaming?” – Sony boss Jack Tretton
Of course, he talks about the DS too:
“Our view of the ‘Game Boy experience’ is that it’s a great babysitting tool, something young kids do on airplanes, but no self-respecting twenty-something is going to be sitting on an airplane with one of those. He’s too old for that.”
Well then Mr. Tretton, I reckon there are a LOT of self disrespecting twenty-somethings out there! Good lord…
