Nederlandse ontwikkelaar voor DS!

Als je kijkt naar de lange, en vooral goede, verstandshouding die Eninge Software met Nintendo heeft opgebouwd de laatste jaren, klinkt het eigenlijk alleen maar logisch; Engine Software zal spellen gaan ontwikkelen voor de Nintendo DS! Engine Software, een onderdeel van PlayLogic en gevestigd in Doetinchem, zal vanaf vandaag officieel DS development kits in huis hebben. Na de Super Nintendo, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Game Boy Advance en GameCube heeft de Doetinchemse ontwikkelaar nu ook de Nintendo-licentie voor de DS te pakken. Wat we precies kunnen verwachten van Engine Software is nog niet duidelijk. Ze zijn op het moment ook al bezig met PSP Racing voor, jawel, de PSP. Wel heeft Engine Software aangekondigd GBA Music Replayer Library te herschrijven en compitabel te maken voor de DS. Persbericht:
