Best of GameSetWatch: From Machinarium WiiWare To Kemco

[Every week GameSetWatch editor-in-chief Eric Caoili rounds up the latest news/media for obscure and offbeat games from Gamasutra's sister site and alternative video game blog.] Over at our alt video game blog GameSetWatch, we shared a number of fun stories during the past week, including Amanita canceling Machinarium for WiiWare, the resurfacing of Japanese developer Kemco, an SD Snatcher retranslation, and more. GameSetWatch's highlights from the last week: Amanita Shelves Machinarium's Nearly Complete Wii Port - "The Czech developer's head Jakub Dvorsky explained the WiiWare version's cancellation to GameSetWatch: 'The port is practically finished, but after some discussions, we decided not to release it because it's just not good.'" Kemco Is Alive, And It's Making RPGs For The iPhone - "Ever wonder what became of Japanese publisher Kemco? The company was fairly prolific during the 8 and 16-bit eras, publishing standout titles like Shadowgate, Rescue: The Embassy Mission, and the Crazy Castle series." Cave Shooting Artworks Book Now Available - "Fans of Japanese shoot'em up artwork, particularly those of Cave, Softbank Creative has put out a new 160-page, full-color art book featuring illustrations from the manic shooter publisher's recent titles in Japan this week." Unreleased GBA Racer Diddy Kong Pilot Emerges As Playable Prototype - "In these videos, you can see a beta version of Rare's Diddy Kong Pilot, an unreleased Game Boy Advance title that was later reworked and released as the Banjo-Kazooie-themed Banjo-Pilot." SD Snatcher Retranslation Announced - "Along with the acclaimed Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and other Konami-published rarities like Vampire Killer and Space Manbow, the MSX home computer system also played host to SD Snatcher, a goofy, platform-exclusive Snatcher spinoff that was only released in Japan." Kids Build MAME Arcade Of The God - "While looking around for videos of new arcade games and setups, I came across this interesting video of a young student at New Zealand's Mercer School showing off the tabletop and upright cabinets her class built to turn their computers into MAME machines."
