Camelot: Vorerst keine weitere Nintendo-Unterstützung

 

01.08.06 - Camelot wird vorerst keine weiteren Nintendo-Plattformen unterstützen und für diese Spiele herstellen. Das berichtet die Gemaga von einer Präsentation des japanischen Entwicklers, der heute ein Golfspiel für den PC vorstellte.

 

Camelot hat u.a. Shining Force III (Saturn), Golden Sun (GBA), Mario Tennis: Power Tour (GBA) und Mario Power Tennis (GC) hergestellt.

Quick translation:

Japanese Gemaga reports from a Camelot presentation that they won't support Nintendo consoles anymore and won't make games for Nintendo consoles.

 

 

Edit: GoNintendo.Com

 

Camelot, best known for their work on the Golden Sun series, has left Nintendo, and will not be making anymore titles for/with them. Camelot will be joining with Japanese developer Eleven UP Inc. to work on a title named I Love Golf. This departure seems to have come up out of nowhere, and will indeed leave many Camelot fans saddened. Many were looking forward to a Golden Sun entry on the DS, or perhaps the Wii, but it doesn’t look like that will be happening now. Hopefully the parting of the two companies was amicable. We wish Camelot the best of luck in future endeavors. Thanks Creamsugar Bidule and Scott!

 

Reader Graham sends in an email stating that the source from which Gamefront received the news makes the story sound a little different. Camelot won’t be making any games with Nintendo for quite some time due to I Love Golf, but they aren’t ruling anything out for the future.

No more goldensun?!?!?!?!?

 

Yes. :(

 

Looks liked they got pissed at Nintendo for making them to make Mario Sport games or maybe because of Nintendo version sports games. :hmm:

 

Edit: Looks like Camelot will be joining another company to make PC games.

I really hope your source is wrong Dante, I really do. If this is reality then I'm totally shocked. I just didn't see this coming and it makes me really sad.

Camelot: For the time being no further NINT DO support

 

01.08.06 - Camelot will for the time being support no further NINT DO platforms with plays. The magazine Gemaga reports the gulf play gulf Daisuki to that of a presentation of the Japanese developer, today: I Love gulf for the PC presented.

 

Instead Camelot wants to concentrate completely on its new gulf play and the pertinent on-line service “G planet Koosoo”, those in co-operation with Eleven UP Inc. and Yahoo! Develop for Japan (responsible for advertisement and account): In an asking and a Anwortrunde Camelot closed therefore also a conversion of gulf Daisuki: I Love gulf for a NINT DO hardware out.

 

Camelot has among other things Shining Force III (Saturn), golden Sun (GBA), Mario tennis: Power route (GBA) and Mario power tennis (office) manufactured.

CLICK PICTURE (gulf Daisuki: I Love gulf - PC)

 

WTF!

 

They are not going to make Nintendo games, so they can make a golf game for the PC?

 

Does any of this make sense?

Seriously, Mario sports games were best thing that came out from Camelot since Shining Force. Golden Sun's weren't never that great.

 

No mario sports games are wrong, if you are gonna make a sports game, do it, just dont stick mario in every friggin game.

 

And Golden sun was one of the very very few rpgs i actually had fun with

Mario doesn't make any game worse or better. So I can't really understand why people are always moaning Nintendo using Mario. Especially because Mario sport games weren't cash-ins, they were quite good and arcadey sport games.

 

meh, there titles were going downhill. only one i enjoyed was Mario golf, under the marioness was a solid golf game.

 

Tennis was fine also. Only bad game in the series was Baseball, and that was made by Namco*, not Camelot.

 

* And when you actually look Namco's run with GC, you notice that it wasn't that stellar: Donkey Konga, Starfox Assault and Mario Baseball.

 

EDIT: And Camelot's own webpages don't say anything about Camelot quiting working with Nintendo. They just are doing this golf game for Yahoo! of Japan.

Nintendo should offer them truckloads of money, girls and free booze or whatever japanese developers want.

 

Now Nintendo still does not have decent RPG support for this generation. I just wait until Zoonami announces they want to make Rock Paper Scissor online and not console games anymore.

this is sad!.....goldensun was a classic and i wanted a ds version

if, this happens to be true then the Camelot RPG for Wii is canceled... thus Nintendo really needs squaresoft to secure that area, they really needed a second party company to do those.

 

Also I don't think Camelot was pissed for doing sports games, Mario Golf just plays like "Hot Shots" for PSone, a game franchise that was originally created by them.

 

If they were/are independent they could have refused. Of course there's also the strong chance that they had a contract agreement that just expired and they didn't want to extend it.

 

I highly doubt Camelot without funding has enough money to develop for PS3 for example, only if they team up with a big developer... and even X360 should be quite expensive for them, not to mention unpopular in their motherland.

 

Nintendo should avoid this exposure, Rareware, Silicon Knights, Factor 5 and Camelot are examples, sure Rareware amounted to 4% of the Nintendo sales in 2001 (thus business-wise it didn't deserved that much funding), etc etc, but this abrupt changes are bond to bring controversy in the userbase, they should avoid it at all costs.

 

Even if it costs them. Camelot was probably the only company out there capable of doing a Final Fantasy Killer, they were Sega's Square at one time, for god's sake. (Shining Force/Soul were their series).

 

I'm still hoping (deep inside) to see Camelot RPG unveiled at the upcoming leipzip conference, though.
