the licening problem should not be as big as it is ..

with the consoles going online next gen, let there be an easy way to install mods for the games you make, and viola ... real names and real teams instead of fake ones ...

Look at the MMO genre and you'll know that things like that won't happen, or at least if they do they'd have to be hidden.

Okay here is how it all went down way back then. Once upon a time there was a development team by the name of DMA. They created a little game called the Lemings. Way back in the N64 days Nintendo announced DMA as a part of their so called "Dream Team" of super developers to create games for the N64. DMA created Space Station Silicon Valley and Body Harvest for N64. They also created the top down driving/crime game called Grand Theft Auto for PC's and PSX. Later on during this generation of hardware they were bought out by Take Two when they created GTA 3 for PS2. They are now under the Rockstar brand name.

Now, about this baseball thing, it seems very interesting. I hope it works out for Nintendo so they can get a decent MLB game on the GCN and Revolution.
Nintendo also worked closely with Angel Studios (now Rockstar San Diego) on the canceled N64 game Buggie Boogie.

Wasn't Angel also responsible for a lot of the compression tech in N64 RE2, or am I remembering incorrectly?
 
Angel Studios also did Ken Griffey Jr. MLB Slugfest on the N64 I believe.

They were supposed to Buggie Boogie, but that project never really came together. Seemed like Miyamoto wanted to take it a direction more akin to Stunt Race FX while Angel wanted more of a Twisted Metal type of thing. Looked good in screens.

Anyways, people should probably give Matt some credit, since its so trendy to bash the guy, he still gets more info on stuff like this than any other journalist when it comes to Nintendo. He was right again with this one.
