Silicon Knights, Nintendo Cease Exclusivity Deal

Posted by simoniker on from the n-getting-smaller? dept.

Divine Shadow writes "IGN Cube is reporting that Silicon Knights (developer of Eternal Darkness and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes) is no longer an exclusive second-party developer for Nintendo. This is really surprising given that interviews with Nintendo and Denis Dyack (SK's leader) always seemed to suggest a bond and shared philosophy between the companies. Have to admit too, that this makes me less excited about Ninty's E3 lineup." Elsewhere in the article, Denis Dyack claims: "It's possible that we may do another game with Nintendo, actually. It just means that we've decided to break our exclusivity with Nintendo."

    Rare - checked out. Left Field - checked out. Silicon Knights - checked out.

    No need to lock up exclusives from third parties if one is getting out of the hardware business.
