We take a trip to Germany to speak with the handheld specialist studio

This week’s studio profile: Shin’en

MCV Staff 17th September 2007 Development News

Our weekly series of studio profile continues – this week with a trip to Munich to see German team Shin’En..

A stalwart of the handheld games scene, the studio has worked on games for the GBA, Game Boy Color, N-Gage and DS – and recently announced it was spreading its wings to include development for the Wii, as well.

The studio has also a strong sideline in audio for games, making over 250 soundtracks for handheld titles, and licences out middleware to boost audio on low-powered portable devices.
