Lexis Numerique was recently asked if the studio would be interested in working with the studio. Marketing and business development director Djamil Kemal responded by saying that “it is really hard to work on a Nintendo platform.”
Kemal feels that “Nintendo just doesn’t push its WiiWare and other digital games.” Kemal has some doubt that Nintendo will be making a big push toward digital releases with the Wii U.
Kemal’s comments in full:
“In theory, yes, but to be totally honest it is really hard to work on a Nintendo platform. Not because of technical reasons but we feel that Nintendo just doesn’t push its WiiWare and other digital games. They do blockbuster-style games like in previous eras, but if you look at what is happening with WiiWare at the moment for instance, there no proper marketplace, making it really hard to check out the latest releases. For us as developers, we need to know that the company releasing a new system are going to push digital games heavily, and what we have seen with WiiWare doesn’t make us think Nintendo will.”
