Take Two's Ben Feder on Nintendo

In a recent interview, Take Two's CEO Ben Feder dicussed the company's future with Nintendo stating;

Nintendo's been a terrific partner for us. We always look at ways in which we can bring our games to platforms that make sense for our games. We're eager to work with Nintendo to bring our games to their platforms.

Despite poor sales initially it seems that Chinatown Wars is still shifting units at a steady pace, and Ben appears to be happy with this.

The DS, typically, has longer legs in the sales cycle. We’re very pleased with how that game is continuing to sell in the market; it will be in the market for a long, long time to come…When we’re ready to announced it, we’ll announce it. Right now Rockstar’s focus is on The Ballad of Gay Tony episode, Red Dead Redemption and Agent.

I'd like to think that Ben's enthusiasm for the DS is at least an indication that Take Two hasn't ruled out a sequel to Chinatown Wars.

A while ago we mentioned that the Rockstar Social Club was going to release an online mini-game for Chinatown Wars, which allowed you to earn money that could be transfered to your DS game.

The mini-game, Mr Wong's Laundromat, requires you to collect money and special items whilst dodging laundry including the occasional jockstrap. The game is pretty fun and you can earn up to $10,000 a day. To use the money in-game simply sync your DS with your social club account.

The Lost and Damned coming to PS3?

I'm not one to encourage rumours so I'll just lay down the facts with this article. According to PSW Magazine Microsoft only has a 6 month exclusive deal on GTA IV downloadable content, which if true could mean that Rockstar are free to distribute the content on the PS3 this August.

There has been no word from TakeTwo or Rockstar regarding the expiration of the $50 million Xbox exclusivity deal but we'll be sure to keep you updated.
