Lexis Numerique: Nintendo platforms hard to work on

Nintendo platforms are harder to work on due to the lack of digital support, claims Lexis Numerique's Djamil Kemal.

The developer recently launched Red Johnson's Chronicles 2 - One Against All on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.

Kemal was asked whether they had thought of bringing the title to the Wii U or Wii but he said Nintendo doesn't push its digital games.

He told StrategyInformer: "In theory, yes, but to be totally honest it is really hard to work on a Nintendo platform.

"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's no proper marketplace, making it really hard to check out the latest releases.

"For us as developers, we need to know that the company releasing a new system are going to push digital games heavily, and what we have seen with WiiWare doesn't make us think Nintendo will."
