View source for Talk:NetherRealm Studios

Should this entry be split up? NetherRealm Studios seems far enough removed from the old Williams games to do so. [[User:CRV|CRV]] ([[User talk:CRV|talk]]) 02:27, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
:Well, I intentionally all put it into one page, because going by shared credits you can draw a direct line from Defender (or at least Sinistar and Joust) to NetherRealm. John Newcomer was there for Joust and Joust 2 up to High Impact Football, which was Ed Boon's first game, and he's still there. Warren Davis' book makes clear that the Williams of Joust 2 and the Midway of MK and NBA Jam are the same entity. Sal DiVita worked on NBA Jam as well as on the console sports titles more than a decade later. People from those games worked on Stranglehold, people from that on the latest MKs and Injustices, and so on. I don't think you can make a clean cut anywhere. I think it's also a good way to show that Bally Midway and the 90s Midway are completely separate entities - Colin and Nauman on their site point out that people often throw in Defender with Rampage as "Midway games", even though they were made by completely unrelated (at the time) companies.
