Creator of many thematic arcade machines including the one dedicated to NBA Jam announced last January, Tastemakers believes that something is missing from its catalog: Nintendo.
Our American colleagues from Comicbooks.com, whose words were reported by Gameblog, explain that after Turtles in Time, Pac-Man, or Mortal Kombat, they would like to be able to obtain the rights and integrate into their collection a terminal dedicated to a Nintendo game. However, Nintendo does not seem very receptive to the demands of the company.
We have been trying to contact Nintendo for a very long time. So if you have contacts with them, tell us. For our part, we want to offer a Nintendo terminal. We have no reason not to. We have eight or nine, and I think it’s nine, of the ten greatest Arcade hits of all time and the tenth, which we don’t offer, belongs to Nintendo. So that’s really the one we were trying to get. As for the other games that interest us, either we already have the rights and they are coming, or we have already offered them in the past. Right now, we’re only missing Nintendo.
However, it’s impossible to know which game David McIntosh, Marketing Director of Tastemakers is talking about. It could just as easily be Donkey Kong, Mario Bros. or even Duck Hunt. In any case, the company seems to want to continue trying to obtain the hoped-for license, but Nintendo does not seem favorable to such a project for the moment.
