Pokemon Learning Ltd. will make Pokemon themed PC learning software. Ownership breaksdown, 81% of Pokemon Ltd. and NEC Corporation 19%.

Maybe some can give a full translation.

I was just thinking the other day, why does Nintendo not make PC games?

Because they have their own machines for 'games'. They have worked with partners before on education software though, in fact they're a licensed 3rd party publisher for Sega's Pico platform even.

That's interesting. Wasn't the Pico platform in existance before Sega went third party? If so, kinda funny that Nintendo was a third party Sega licensee before Sega was a third party Nintendo licensee.

NEC? As in the makers of Turbo Grafx 16? Nice to see them back. TG16 was cool.

NEC also made a VERY short lived return to games publishing with Culdcept and Tube Racers. Apparently they both bombed, and thus did our hopes for more Ys games die. Well, Konami kinda stepped up, but we'll see how long that lasts.
