dammit! you're right. you win.
I loved that great pause in the Player One Podcast where they mentioned Shane leaving on his own terms and nobody speaking up. That plus Shane twittering that other things were in the works, and we all hoped it was a new venture with all of the layed off employees when what he was really talking about was his next job. And now seeing how amazingly awesome his new job is,,,, class act. Rock and roll Shane.

<3 Ignition for bringing SNK to Europe. Now they're even more awesome. This looks like a big change. Good luck, Shane!

These guys know how to take a shitty situation and chuf it out. This episode was FANTASTIC. Better than any 1UP FM or EGM Live I ever heard. Great stories from everybody, Shane was at the top of his game, Kevin Smith's voice, presidential assassination prophecies (what the hell?), Ninja Gaiden II getting pushed during Team Ninja's collapse, I laughed, I cried, it had everything.
Obviously anyone who's been in the gaming press as long as Shane has will have a feel for what will sell, so a position like the one he's taken makes sense. What will be interesting is to see how well he can reconcile his personal tastes (as eccentric as they are) with the more pragmatic sales approach. Everyone has their own niche titles that they love (well, everyone who bothers to post a board like this) but it would be as irresponsible to focus on those as it would be to only look at the bottom line. Ignition seems like a company that is used to games slightly off the beaten path, so that seems like a good fit. Also, what the hell, a Red Bull B-Boy game? Shane's been secretly working with them for months, hasn't he?

Success is doing an XBLA Zoo Keeper. Ignition localized Zoo Keeper DS. Zoo Keeper DS sold around 100k units. Also, the game was barely translated--gibberish English for the most part, and none of the game's issues (for example, the game does not go into sleep mode when you close the DS and you also can't delete high scores from the high score list) were fixed in localization, so it's not like it cost anyone anything to bring it over here.

It'll be a PSN exclusive
Frankly what I really want to see is how the people at 1UP, specifically people who have been there for years and years, deal with a new job where it's likely they have no idea who they are, and also having to buy every game they wish to play. At a place like 1UP where practically a whole bunch of people room with other people who work there, you tend to get into a bubble that some of them sounds like they've been in for a while. Shane won't be getting away with many "Secret best game ever" conversations at Ignition.
Ignition is all the way in California so it will be a shame to not hear Shane around so much anymore. Maybe at E3.

As much as I'm sure Shane would like to pursue that avenue, there aren't really any on the consoles this generation...
360 (this list is pretty exhaustive):
Code:
Zegapain NOT Namco
Zegapain XOR Namco
Zoids Infinity EX Neo Takara Tomy
Tengai Makyou Ziria: Harukanaru Jipang Hudson
Super Robot Taisen XO Namco
Diario: Rebirth Moon Legend Idea Factory
Apocalypse: Desire Next Idea Factory
Agarest Senki: Reappearance Compile Heart
Absolute Blazing Infinity Idea FactoryThe Idea Factory / Compile Heart is utter trash that even the most niche jRPG fans don't enjoy, Namco doesn't let anyone touch their stuff, the Hudson game is the latest and shittiest installment of a long-running series that's never made it over here. So, uh, I guess there's another Zoids game up for grabs
PS3 (this list is pretty exhaustive although slightly less, I could be missing a few):
Code:
Mist of Chaos Idea Factory
Agarest Senki Idea Factory
Tears to Tiara: Kakan no Daichi AquaplusTwo Idea Factory trash heaps and Tears to Tiara, which is a PG-13 of a PC porno game.
Wii (this list is pretty exhaustive although slightly less, I could be missing a few):
Code:
Soul Eater: Monotone Princess Square Enix
Fushigi no Dungeon - Furai no Shiren 3: Karakuri Yashiki no Nemuri Hime SegaSoul Eater is a shitty game based on an anime that Square Enix owns, licensing would likely prove to be tricky.
So, uh, Ignition to publish Shiren 3 confirmed? :lol
The portables have a slightly bigger stack, but again most of the games mostly boil down to total trashheaps (Idea Factory crap like Spectral Force Genesis on DS), stuff that's almost certainly financially unpalatable (Legend of Heroes VI, for example), or stuff locked up by companies like Nintendo (Soma Bringer, Glory of Heracles DS, Card Hero) or Square Enix (Nanashi no Game, Sigma Harmonics, Egg Monster Hero) who don't negotiate with external publishers.

Will the version on iTunes be the sound sorted version?

Ok GAF, fess up!
And Nick, Anthony, someone spill the beans on who Shane's been for the past few years on here. I have 2-3 guesses but need confirmation!
Podcast is great so far btw, I got the pre-volume fixed version that downloaded about 15 minutes before the new one was posted. Oh well. It's tolerable.
