Former THQ exec forms casual pub Mamba Games
Brimming with confidence, a new name has strutted into the marketplace with plans to take the world by storm, albeit casually. Co-founded by former THQ vet Robert Nielson, Mamba Games is a new casual game pub, though unlike other startups it already has several titles flowing through its low-pressure pipeline.
Among the games on the studio's plate is Matchman (pictured), a black and white comic-style shooter for the Nintendo DS coming in the second quarter, with versions for the PlayStation 3 and Wii coming later in 2009. Mamba is also publishing the PC horror adventure game The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure and racer Pyroblazer, however neither of these will be brought to North America by the fledgling studio. Slightly more interesting are the outfit's plans to publish six expansions for Flight Simulator X over the next two years, though with the recent shuttering of Flight Simulator dev ACES, we wonder if these planes will run out of fuel before they land.
