WiiWare certification 'took 9 months'

Beamdog exec claims Nintendo platforms are not helpful to external developers

Canada indie studio Beamdog wrestled with Nintendo’s certification process for nine months on a single game, a director at the company has said.
Beamdog executive Trent Oster said the whole experience, which was allegedly marred by other problems, had burnt bridges between the two companies.

“We don't do Nintendo development,” Oster said in a message on Twitter.
“Our previous experience with Nintendo was enough to ensure there will not be another.”
Oster then proceeded to detail other flaws he believes Nintendo is guilty of, such as developers “requiring 6,000 unit sales before payment”.
