Orb, E3 Prototypes, an Nintendo fans.

We recently announced that our lead project at CSE, Orb, was in planning for Nintendo Revolution, and we're doing the E3 '06 prototype / demo in TGE. We hope to port TSE to the revolution for the final game... the media and the fans were contacting and asking questions left and right... resulting in a media blitz of sorts that includes, but is not limited to, the following articles:

While the media blitz has calmed down a bit, it'll probably kick back up soon when we show the early prototype screens in a few days to a week. E3 promises to be great fun this year, who knows, we might walk away with that all important publisher for the project. So far, quite a few are interested.

I'm in no position to currently do so, but I'd love to have a few pointers on how to release a game on a Nintendo platform, especially using TGE or TSE. That would include details on porting it over and info on how one approaches Nintendo with interest in developing a title. Even a gentle shove down the right flight of stairs will do...

Oh, and just hearing about you releasing on Revolution is the most exciting news I've heard since I've been a member of the community. Good luck on all fronts!

Currently, we're talking to various publishers and such about our intentions. As we get closer to working directly with Nintendo, we'll start talking about helping other indie developers as well.
