Circle Entertainment

Circle Entertainment is one the first Chinese console game publisher to arrive in the market and they have worked hard on bringing games to all parts of the globe. Their biggest impact has been giving an opportunity to the Western indie market to bring their games to the East, making them the only company that has brought North American eShop games to Asia.

In a recent interview with Nintendo Enthusiast SEO Chris Chau talks about when they first started;

When we created the company in 2006, we ere very young. We just wanted to focus on how to create our own games. But Hong Kong has a limited amount of people to hire, and also we were lacking others resource such as publisher network and funds.

He then goes on to talk about their experience with the eShop;

Yes, the 3DS eShop offered a lot of convenience to players, this place allows for both casual games and retail games readily available for download.
You know, retail game always have to consider package cost, but for eShop, its really good to use the savings from not having packaging to reduct the game price.

He also talk about some of their 2015 plans and ways that they can support indie’s;

We have provided a minimum guarantee/development fee to smaller developers. Those capitals can help boost their development work. But we want to set an amount for this year, which will give us a range that we can work effectively. A little more capitals means alot for smaller developers.
