Well, platinum isn't owned by nintendo like retro is, they're just the only ones who seem to want to pay them anymore :v

With how good MGR supposedly was and how good their wii u games look, I doubt they'll have trouble getting work after they're released~

More than likely not, I guess, but you have to admit, the publisher pool is looking VERY shallow.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Remember Liberation Maiden, the 3DS mech-based shoot-em-up from Suda51?

Word is there may be a PS3 sequel. :3
Officially confirmed. Title is Liberation Maiden: SIN. It's a visual novel being devloped by 5pb, notable for the series of games with a semicolon in the middle of the title (AKA Chaos;Head, Steins;Gate and Robotics;Note.) Apparently initial talks were sparked by the CEO of parent company MAGES approaching Suda and commenting on how the 3DS original is a pretty fun game. Suda's response? "Wanna do something with it?"

Releases in Japan later this year, exclusively for PS3. Localisation is naturally pretty slim, given the genre. VN's usually never make it out of Japan, regardless of how popular the series is internationally in different formats.

Oh yea, Suda also has a hand in the scenario writing for this game, so he's still involved.

The Wii U still has publishers?

Seriously I haven't heard of one title for it that makes me want to run out and buy a console.

As far as I'm concerned Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has basically saved the whole fucking console for me. I have a pretty good feeling it'll last almost as long on its own as it takes for Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101 to come out, and I'm sure there's a few good games due in between even if memory fails me. My little bro picked up a copy of the 3DS version when he learnt they were cross compatible, and we had a blast hunting monsters he was clearly much too weak for. XD

In more news on the THQ IP sales, Gearbox has acquired the Homeworld license and claims to be re-releasing the first two games digitally. Basically everything fucking else, including Darksiders, Red Faction and Supreme Commander, went to Nordic Games, who are best known for Painkiller for what I know of them.

I remember Painkiller being good, despite it coming out during the peak of PC FPSes that you couldn't tell apart. Oh hey, they got The Outfit too, fuck yeah, I hope they do something with it.

Gaming continues to suffer in Australia... more or less. On top of stupid delays and cancellations everywhere for Nintendo software (and the $80 price tag for first-party 3DS games) it's possible that the retail stock problem may be even worse than the US. Mainly because Luigi's Mansion 2, the 3DS version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and even Fire Emblem: Awakening were effectively sold out everywhere by the end of launch day here, with some stores only having enough stock to fill pre-orders.

A lot of people are theorising that Nintendo Australia is deliberately causing physical stock shortages in order to push sales of the digital version on the 3DS eShop. I'm not sure if that's more likely than simple manufacturing issues, but yea.

Taking into consideration how Australia is taking forever to get over their rut of overpricing the videogame market, maybe it is for the best they try to enforce a more digital market. They probably believe that, on some level, there's no need to waste effort on changing the market because of how trends have made it seem like everything's going digital anyway.

http://mynintendonews.com/2013/04/24/satoru-iwata-steps-up-as-ceo-at-nintendo-of-america/

Yesterday's announcement of Nintendo's second year of losses has prompted Iwata to take the helm and become CEO of NOA, replacing Kimishima, who will instead take on the roles of Corporate Analysis and Administration and the General Affairs divisions of the head branch in Kyoto. I think Iwata taking on a more active role with NOA will be a good thing plus we've seen he has a pretty decent dynamic with Reggie, so the two could work off of each other with the synergy they put out.

Except the digital market is just as overpriced. Retailers drop the price by at least two or three bucks, sometimes even $10. Nintendo's games are permanently $70 here for 3DS games on the eSho (because I made a mistake in my previous post, $80 is for the Wii U games).

Also, Enzan? Reggie's the President and Chief Operating Officer for NoA. A slightly different job than Iwata's being the Chief Executive Officer.

Please do not fuck this up....
I will shell out some bolts for the movie ticket/copy when it's out but I do have my doubts of how good it'll be (I hope I'm wrong on that and it's amazing).

Nintendo will not be having a conference at E3

They will still be there to shill new games, but considering that the PS4 and the DRMBox will be given center stage at the conferences, it may be just as well.
