I should have the "right" to create a game without jumping through any damn hoops for Nintendo. If I know the profit from my work is getting leeched by a...
How much can I expect to make if it sells fairly, and how much will Nintendo be making? I would prefer to make it first, then find a publisher, than be under ...
If I wanted to work for a GBA dev team right now I would. I can write Jetpack GBA myself so why should I have to join a big company and share the profits,...
The quality control is for practical reasons. You can't patch a cartrige. Blocking small developers has nothing to do with this. I agree that N having the...

Adressed to John really. Is this $12 any different to what Sony make? I can't remember, but I imagine it can't be far off. After all, they are running a...
