There is 'no proper marketplace' for digital games on Nintendo platforms, claims dev
Nintendo doesn’t push the WiiWare and other digital games enough on its consoles, Lexis Numerique’s business development director has said.
Speaking to Strategy Informer (http://www.strategyinformer.com/xbox360/redjohnsonschroniclesoneagainstall/406/interview.html), Djamil Kemal said the developer, which has released a number of titles for PSN, XBLA and WiiWare, had found it difficult to work on Nintendo platforms.
He added that whilst the console giant pushed blockbuster-style games, there was currently no proper marketplace for smaller developers, making it hard for users to find new releases.
“In theory, yes, but to be totally honest it is really hard to work on a Nintendo platform,” said Kemal.
“Not because of technical reasons but we feel that Nintendo just doesn’t push its WiiWare and other digital games. They do blockbuster-style games like in previous eras, but if you look at what is happening with WiiWare at the moment for instance, there no proper marketplace, making it really hard to check out the latest releases.
