After getting in contact with the studio, co-founder and software developer Shuichi Aizawa was kind enough to sit down for an interview with me:
Q: How was Studio Mercato created? Where did you all meet?
Q: Your Company is based out of New York, What was the reasoning behind being based on the East Coast and not the West Coast?
Q: How do you come up with new and fresh ideas for games to develop?
Q: You currently have 4 titles under your belt, 3 in development and 1 currently out on the market. Which of these titles are you the most excited about? Why?
Q: This past year, Studio Mercato went to PAX East and unveiled your latest title Crystal Brawl. With the game being a hit at PAX East, do you see your games being unveiled at other large conventions such as E3 in the near future?
Q: Studio Mercato makes games that are geared more towards mobile devices (iPad, Android, iOS, etc.) with 2 that are compatible with the Wii U and PC, and 1 designed to be played in an Arcade. Why steer away from consoles such as PlayStation and Xbox?
Q: Will we see a new game from Studio Mercato this year or early next year?
A special thanks goes out to Shuichi Aizawa and the rest of the team from Studio Mercato for this interview, and I hope we all see your hard work pay off upon the release of your games. Stay New York strong. Thanks again, Studio Mercato, and keep up the good work.
