DS developer license for Engine Software

Netherlands-based Engine Software today announced that its Nintendo DS developer license has been approved by Nintendo of America. The DS license is the sixth that Engine has been awarded by Nintendo in a 10-year business relationship that has seen the developer supporting the Super Nintendo, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and GameCube.

"Personally I am very glad to have expanded our relationship with Nintendo once again. No matter how long you work with Nintendo they keep amazing you with new, innovative ideas which simply result in an explosion of inspiration," said Ruud van Moosdijk, head of development at Engine Software. "I am confident that the DS will bring new enjoyment to developers and consumers alike."
