As the traditional console video game industry faces many challenges with the transition to next generation consoles like the Nintendo Wii U and the next Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation, the online free-to-play games space is booming. Korean game publisher Nexon has been a pioneer in free-to-play games, microtransactions and online gaming since 1994 with hits like MapleStory, Combat Arms and Vindictus.
Mike Nelson writes: "We’re thrilled to announce the next Xbox Partner Preview will air Wednesday, March 6, at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT, featuring a mix of new and upcoming games."
The 3 games listed are multiplats.
I actually looked up the Tales of Kanzera:Zau a month or so ago because I thought it could be an actual Tales of game but I was very disappointed to find out it is an indie game being published by EA and not an actual Tales of game. Gameplay looks ok but I don’t like the art style. It looks a lot like the recent Prince of Persia game.
The first legal clash between the developer of Dark and Darker and Nexon ended in a draw as preliminary injunctions from both parties have been dismissed.
The South Korean Fair Trade Commission has fined Nexon over violations of the Electronic Commerce Act in its popular games MapleStory and Bubble Fighter.
