Disney Interactive Studios is the new Disney Games

Buena Vista Games is now Disney Interactive Studios - Image 1Disney announced at their Investor Conference in Orlando that Buena Vista Games will now be known as Disney Interactive Studios (DIS). Senior VP and General Manager Graham Hopper reasoned, "This change reflects our focus on creativity, the weight of Disney content in our portfolio, and the enormous value consumers see in the Disney Brand."

True, although many people do know that Buena Vista is more or less Disney-related in many ways than one, we believe that slapping on the "Disney" name should reflect inspiration on the new game studio's image. You could think of it as an upgrade, like what happened to Pixar Animation Studios.

Will they be limited to Disney games? Apparently not, for they also have plans to publish non-Disney branded video games for all platforms worldwide. Touchstone, Disney, and ABC are the brands to look for on Disney Interactive Studios' published games.

DIS is powered by four internal game development studios, which include Avalanche Software, Fall Line Studios, Propaganda Games, and Climax Racing to develop games for all ages. So keep an eye out!

I mean, buena vista is a poor title for exclusive disney games! Now the name talk for the devs!



( and I think that "buena vista" sucked for a name, I mean, kingdom hearts 2 was square-enix and buena vista... it would have make more sense with "square-enix and disney interactive studios since the game is based on the disney characters... )
