Studio Profile: Rovio

EDGE: "Thanks to Angry Birds’ popularity and a keen eye for brand placement, Rovio has grown to a dizzying 550 employees. By the time you read this, the chances are that figure will have grown again. With its recent Star Wars tie-in, the company has cemented its cultural relevance, while the recently released million-selling Angry Birds Trilogy on PS3, 360 and 3DS has proven that the avian videogame phenomenon has appeal beyond mobile devices. Surrounded by plush Angry Birds toys, we spoke to SVP of game development Sami Lahtinen and SVP of brand marketing Ville Heijari about where Rovio goes next."

I hope Shinobi did well. That would be a shame if it didn't.

What happens when you release games via Limited Run and as Game Key Cards on Switch 2

SEGA should stop faffing on with those boring Mega Drive and Master System collections that've been out there for years. Saturn and Dreamcast collections are overdue, but more some arcade collections. Put games on all formats and let gamers choose disc, card or download. The latest Shinobi was a Limited Run game on card, it doesn't exactly sell the game to the masses. SEGA showed off a number of new games not so long ago, they've all gone missing. SEGA has a rich history of making mistakes, it needs to have a serious look at itself, more so in the US and Europe.
