P.E.I. developer becomes Nintendo affiliate |
Ó
By the looks of it, videogaming giants are kind of warming up to third party developers this round of the console war. We're not pretty certain about Microsoft but Sony mentioned the other day that they teamed up with Namco Bandai to establish a new studio and Ken Kutaragi himself will head the new venture.Likewise, Nintendo awarded today one studio with a developer status. What's interesting about this is that the said studio, Telos Productions Inc., is composed of just nine employees and is operating in one of Prince Edward Island's cities, Charlottetown.
We don't mean anything here, but if Nintendo did execute such a move, it could only mean that Telos is very, very good. The president of the company Sean Yeomans is still quite baffled as he said:
Nintendo provides authorized developers with highly proprietary information, and many of NintendoÂ’s licencees also rely on recommendations and referrals to authorized developers. For these reasons, Nintendo exercises a very high level of care in approving only a select number of authorized developers.
Yeomans, however, added that they are likely to begin developing new IPs for Nintendo around 2009. According to the official, there are certain hurdles they must overcome first like office facilities, equipment, personnel and financial resources. Currently, they are working on an original IP called City of Saints and Sinners as well as a computer game titled Shadow of Panopticon.
