HandyGames Goes DS
It seems one of the mammoth developers of the mobile games industry has also chosen to support traditional handheld gaming. As so, HandyGames has announced to start up Nintendo DS development.
“Due to the continuous success and the large distribution of the Nintendo DS, the demand for innovative games and applications constantly increases and thus international publishers, media groups and licence holders need more and more contractors. „During the past months, we’ve been overwhelmed with inquiries concerning DS-production.“, says Christopher Kassulke, CEO of HandyGames™. „It’s not our philosophy to reject good long-term business models.“
“Hence it’s only a logical step for the team to enrich the related casual-platform with innovative products of high quality in the future. „With our many years of experience in the sector of mobile games, we see ourselves pretty well positioned. Our products are internationally successful and have already won more than 100 awards.“, says CEO Markus Kassulke, who is in charge of the production at HandyGames. Udo Bausewein, CFO, adds: „Our competitive advantage clearly stems from our history. Mobile games are the interface between the telecommunications market and the entertainment software industry. High quality and meeting deadlines and budgets are a must here! We are going to start with the development of our future DS-titles with exactly these requirements and experiences in mind.“
HandyGames is also considering the possibilities to bring their own key IP's to the Nintendo DS. A great example of such an IP would be Townsmen, which already had 5 mobile strategy game releases which proven highly successful for the developer.
