According to a report by the Asia Times Online, Nintendo of Japan has announced plans to establish a local affiliate in South Korea, in an attempt to expand its market presence in the country.
Nintendo's board of directors has called for a local firm to be set up on July 7th as a wholly owned subsidiary using an initial investment of 25 billion won ($26 million). The subsidiary will be located in capital Seoul to help increase sales for the Nintendo DS and prepare the way for the forthcoming Wii.
The new unit comprises over 500 developers representing the entire World of Warcraft development team.
I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.
The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.
The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
Modders have cooked up something pretty special – a Wii console which is small enough to fit on your keys. A wee Wii.
