Orbital Gets Piratical, Isometrical With Original GBA Games

Thanks to IGN Pocket for its first details on Game Boy Advance game Pirate Battle, an original "turn-based strategy game" from Canadian developer Orbital Media, who is also working on "isometric shooter" Scourge: The Hive and "adventure game" Jukka and the Monophonic Menace, as well as several other intriguing titles mentioned on the firm's official site, which describes the company as "a publisher and developer of video-games for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance... based on original content", a relatively rare Western occurrence in an increasingly license-oriented GBA market (though "integrated licensed brands" are also part of Orbital's equation.)

I am all over that

Wow, that pirate game looks like the awesomest awesome awesome. I mean its advance wars with pirates. Not only that, but it looks like there are some golden sun style puzzles going on there too. Not to mention much booty! I must have it!

I believe the term is Ninjarific.

In the game you play an ex-RIAA agent hired by nintendo to track down and kill the evil webmaster of gameboy-advance.net [gameboy-advance.net] with your threating e-mail powerup, which can be combo'ed with a lawsuit gun special move you can fight the evil pirates, but when you track them down eventually you will have to face their ultimate weapon, the flash card [gameboy-advance.net]!

Orbital's site [orbitalmedia.com] is nice. Check out the "job tips" section.

"How do you get around the whole "I need experience to get a job, I can't get a job because I have no experience". ... go to events like GDC (Game Developer Conferences), or E3 (Entertainment Expo), and meet the makers. Attending these shows say's to the studios that you have the drive and desire to make games for a living." Thought E3 wasn't a public event. Am I wrong?
