While indie developers can self-publish in North America and Europe, Japan is a different market. Digital distribution still requires a publisher that’s a Japan-based company.
Zoo Entertainment is stepping into the ring and licensing Western developed indie games for Japan. Zoo actually started out with solutions for medical records got into the video game business in the late 2000s distributing PC games for Japan like Left for Dead 2.
Zoo Entertainment, owners of IndiePub, have defaulted on a $1.17 million debt showing further signs of the company's depressing outlook.
Zoo Entertainment has finally confirmed that it is releasing a Kinect version of Minute To Win It. The game will be available Fall 2011.
From the press release:
"'Minute to Win It' utilizes the Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor to offer controller-less reality gaming fun for the whole family. Literally jump into the action with your Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor to compete in twenty deceptively difficult 60-second challenges taken right from NBC’s hit competitive series, 'Minute To Win It.' Similar to what is seen on television, 'Minute to Win It' features the likeness of celebrity chef and host Guy Fieri who guides you throughout the game."
Indie games rock!
cool.
I think this is a good opportunity for developers... plus it gives us gamers a new set of games to play... I like it
