Bob needs to learn something about the gaming market.
When you have a game, even partialy done.
You do what every other homebrew game developer does when they want to sell their game.
Keep working on it, and look for a publisher.
I mean they publish crap like "Hello Kitty uses the litter box" for crying out loud.
So even if his game is the worst ever it could probably get published.
Though publishers do like a finished game ofcourse.
All he is doing is making himself look less and less credible.
Seeking attention and Nintendo of all people to publish his game.
You don't call Nintendo, they call you. If they would ever consider calling the evil homebrew scene developers in the first place.
Remember, homebrew is a scary world to them.
Still, other pulishers tend to be rather generous and even kind sometimes.
Its tough ya, but its worth the effort.
Send demos out and get calling if you want it that bad.
Also I played the demo.
Didn't make much sense to me.
It was a taste of a simple RPG like interface without much to do to tell us what it was about anyway.
I'm not quite sure if its an RPG game or just some town simulator you play to talk to everyone and um, continue talking.
Was a solid enough engine though, I'll give him that.
Hes just going about getting his game publish all the wrong way.
Plenty of small companies that might be willing to publish a game like this. I dunno why Bob thinks Nintendo is the only choice.
He's not asking them to publish it, or give him an sdk. He's asking them to
buy the nitro sdk for thousands of dollars. He has stated that, if he needs to, he will rent an office building to make up for rules mentioned. Most people assume he's a nut because of the nintendo world store thing. It was fake. Get over it. If you spent five years making a game with zero programming experience,
from the ground up, you would probably want it to be noticed/released, too. One person was dumb enough to think he changed the game's story line to fit the "outbursts" he had. Coders here will know that is totally ridiculous. If you had followed it, it would have made much, much more sense. Nintendo is a pitiful excuse for a company, with service that is less helpful than the instruction booklets. The contact us thing tells you to call them, the people you call tell you to check the error code database, and the database tells you to email them. Helpful, isn't it? Not really. Nintendo has completely quit making sure games are good and aren't stuff like: My little pony, hannah montana the movie, and Imagine: Babysitter. I hate it.
Sorry for the rant.
