SouthPeak’s “Crime Scene” for Nintendo DS Now Available for Investigators on the Go
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
MIDLOTHIAN, VA – February 18, 2010 – SouthPeak Interactive Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SOPK), in collaboration with Nobilis Games, today announced the arrival of Crime Scene, a gritty crime-drama, for Nintendo DS™. In Crime Scene, players assume the role of Detective Simmons, a young, talented forensics investigator responsible for solving the city’s recent outbreak of gruesome crimes.
In order to get to the bottom of each case, players must take full advantage of an impressive array of high-tech tools to scour every inch of the environments in the game for clues. The tiniest pieces of evidence have the potential to dramatically alter the course of an ongoing investigation.
Last Window probably being localized
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment
Nintendo has yet to announce Last Window for North America or Europe, but it seems likely that the game is being localized. There is a catch, though. So far, while a trademark for the game was found for Europe, it has not been registered in the U.S. database. Of course, it’s still more than possible that Nintendo of America will bring the game over. I am a little bit concerned though since the company failed to localize titles such as Disaster: Day of Crisis and Another Code: R.

Dunaway interview – Zelda Wii release talk, localizing titles, third-parties, and much more
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 1 Comment
Cammie on the game industry moving toward a more year-long release schedule…
“One of the things that’s true for Nintendo is that we’re not driven by a calendar for our release dates. When the games are ready to go, when the quality is perfect, that’s when we release. We all benefit if we can keep a pretty steady pace, so the development teams have worked hard to make sure that we’ve got a full lineup this year. If you compare the first half of 2010 with the first half of 2009, it’s night and day. And from some of the things that Mr. Iwata has talked about, and that we will talk about at E3, like Zelda, you know that we’re going to have a good back half of the year, as well. (About releasing Mario/Metroid/Zelda Wii in the same year) And you said we wouldn’t. You bet no, right?…”
Dunaway on Nintendo localizing games…
“The way it works is that Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe have teams who are responsible for going over to Japan three or four times a year, looking at what’s going on with the development teams, and making decisions about what makes sense to bring to the U.S. and when it makes sense to bring it here. I would argue that they are bringing a lot of great Japanese property here — I know you and I are great Professor Layton fans, and we finally got our Professor Layton 2, and hopefully we’ll get 3 sometime — I don’t know, but I’m hoping on it.
And bringing things like Fossil Fighter here, and certainly some of the lineup that we talked about today from things like Sin and Punishment, and also from a third party, bringing Dragon Quest IX, which we’re going to publish here in the U.S., Monster Hunter Tri, coming in a big partnership with Capcom to make sure that we really expose that content, which Japanese audiences love, to American audiences. So you’re right, we pick and choose, and we can’t bring everything. But I think that we’re working hard to try and bring a lot of those titles that did well in Japan to the U.S.”
