The paper mentions Seaman as an example of this, but does not provide specifics." |
Maybe I'm just being a Negative Nancy, but that's actually the part that makes me unexcited.
They're expending time and resources to entice third-party developers onto their handheld to revive old franchises. Reading between the lines, this means that they're again having to go the extra mile to get developers on board their system, they're settling for franchises which have already died, franchises whose own publisher is uninterested in reviving without added incentive, and they're starting with a niche and bizzare pet simulator that was most notable for how weird it was.
