I managed to stumble upon this article from Wired which I thought was pretty interesting. Apparently Nintendo doesn't want what they call "Garage Developers" on their platforms.
You can read the original article here. It's a pretty interesting read.
It sucks. Nintendo are draconian when it comes to developing on their hardware. Considering you can get hobby games that are oodles better than a lot of the Third-party garbage that Nintendo releases these days, I think they re-consider their perspective on this.
Look at the Playstation Network and the Xbox Live Indie Games service. There's tons of high-quality stuff developed by hobbyist gamers, same goes with the App Store. It's only so long before Nintendo is left in the dust. What do you think? Should Nintendo allow these "Garage Developers" work on their platforms, or is it a bad idea?
