Ex EGMer Shane Bettenhausen joins Ignition

Here’s one piece of news I never could’ve predicted: the ever-so-opinionated 1Up/EGM editor Shane Bettenhausen has joined developer Ignition Entertainment after leaving 1Up. The super-knowledgeable (and uber-competitive) ex-journo will now be the Director of Business Development for the small developer/publisher (best known for the fairly awesome Mercury Meltdown titles). He’ll be making all sorts of high level decisions, including what games the company will publish, according to Go Nintendo.
