NINTENDO DREAM

Playtonic would be happy to reunite with another old friend

Playtonic chief Gavin Price claims his company has enough funding to complete its first release, but he’s still keen to secure a publishing deal to expand the project. “We’re in a position where we wouldn’t have to take a deal if we didn’t want to,” he says. “We obviously want to do things our way, but there is a chance for us to work with the right publisher.”

And Price is keen to link with an old partner: “There’s a history of working with Nintendo, so we’d naturally love to see our game on a Nintendo platform. If people tell us to make Wii U our target console platform, then we’ve got the flexibility to do that.”
