MonkeyPaw down for bringing unlocalized DS games to 3DS eShop, Gaijinworks against it
A portion of a GamerTell interview with Monkeypaw Games’ CEO John Greiner and Gaijinworks CEO Victor Ireland...
GamerTell: Would you ever consider going to the 3DS eShop to bring over some DS games we didn’t originally get in English?
Ireland: I’m not against it.
Greiner: I am. Forget it. No way. Everything Nintendo is really, really tough and they haven’t been aggressive on the digital download side yet. We keep talking about it, but until I see action, no. I mean, it’s going to take a while.
Look how long Sony’s been at this. They’ve always been playing catch-up, but they’re always really aggressive. They’re always talking about the PlayStation Network. They’re always trying to include more. They’ve done a good job, but they’re still in second place and they still have a long way to go. However, the effort is there. We want effort. We want big strides so we can really have confidence when we bring titles over.
So sorry to be negative, because I’m negative about almost nothing.
Ireland: See, he’s the one who has to deal with that. I’m not against doing the games, but the business side definitely has to make sense.
