From what I have read, they have ruled out direct ports of Nintendo games and are simply licencing the IPs to Dena to make new mobile games. While Dena works on servers and networks for Nintendos new and existing systems.

Souds reasonable.  Still, it'll be tough maintaining the level of quality expected from a Nintendo title, while still being profitable in the mobile space.  Unless profitability isn't of a concern, in which case Nintendo views this more as a big advertising campaign to get the mobile generation interested in their IP.  That sounds even more reasonable when I come to think about it.

"Treyarch" "made" the "game" and it so screams, "we are doing this so we fulfill our licensing agreement".

It is so bad, that I had to momentarily check I was playing a PS3 game, not a PS2 game on a backward compatible PS3.

I am guessing Activision actuially subbed this out to a battery hen with a keyboard and a tiara rather than waste Treyarch's time on it.

Ah yes...If I remember right Treyarch were working on 2 or 3 games at once at that point and literally produced Bond in 6 months.

Data East is a great catalog to pick up.  Good for them.  Who owns OCEAN's shit these days? EDIT: Internet says whatever homeless dude is currently pushing Atari around in his cart owns the rights to OCEAN games.

I think what's actually just as interesting is seeing how Marvelous is trying to pull themselves to the next level as a publisher. They ended the partnership with Natsume to try and take full ownership of their titles in North America. They tried partnering with Inafune on that pirate game that was intended to be a pretty big series (though that didn't end well). And now they're buying a large catalog of games. That's all signs of a company trying to grow and become a bigger player. Hope they pull it off.

There's just no pleasing some people...

Did you transfer your 3DS files to your New3DS?  How much of a hassle was it really?  I'd get a New3DS and MH4U, were it not for the fact I barely get to game any these days and for the first time ever am amassing a considerable backlog.

Holy fucking donkey dick of a megaton!!!!!! Nintendo goes mobile! Sweet Jesus!

and we get a new online system, wow!

I can't wait for a bunch of cheap top down zeldas, should be fun. Maybe they actually make a Metroid, that would be nice.

We need an emergency podcast right now!!!!!
