I thought it was OB1 himself, considering he got that studio he worked for to pick it as their name. It might have been someone else though.
I still wonder if OB1 and the rest at "Semnat Studios" ever even saw a single red cent from that game. My understanding is that with Wiiware titles, if games don't pass a certain "threshold" in sales, thems don git paids ™. I know Nintendo has officially changed that policy as of the 3DS and the Wii U, but from what I've read (most recently, from the developer of Retro City Rampage), that wasn't retroactive and Wii and DSi sales still work under the old rules. (Specifically, he claims http://www.polygon.com/2014/12/13/738704...op-wiiware that he still hasn't gotten a dime from them because it never passed the threshold, and that's a major reason he's not bothering with updating that version to DX.)
If Retro City Rampage never got that many sales (a game that has critical acclaim as an indie title), then Eduardo most certainly never did (I'm pretty sure this forum accounts for 40% of all sales, with web site reviewers accounting for another 40%). Reviewers weren't exactly ecstatic over it either... I can't help but wonder if everyone at Semnat soured over Nintendo due to that, and then one of them got gunned down and the rest turned into a team of mercenaries on an adventure for vengeance, THROUGH TIME! That should be their next game. I think I'll write that down... *writes it down* *sticks note on top of stack of abandoned notes* *weighs down notes with Darunia* Glad ta see ya back!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
