Industry News | Tantalus, Newplay, D2C Pledge Nintendo Wii Support

By Jorge Ba-oh 02.03.2007 6

Support for Nintendo's home console has steadily increased since birth with a very broad mix of studios signing up to develop for Wii. Three more have recently been added to the list.

Aussie-Nintendo reports that Melbourne developer Tantalus Interactive has started to work on titles for Wii. Aside from the upcoming Pony Friends for DS, the company have two other Nintendo projects in the works. Alongside Wii, the studio intend on working on games for Xbox 360 and PS3 also.

Montreal based developer NewPlay is seeking support for next generation consoles in a job seekers listing on Gamasutra. The 10 man studio intend on increasing their team by 25 this year, and seek people for a "fun and dynamic working environment and projects with shorter development cycles and smaller, project based development teams".

Finally, a recent press release D2C Games has announced their support for various upcoming home consoles, seeking to create games that are easy to pick up and play, and don't require hundreds of hours to get full enjoyment.

Thanks to Codename Revolution for the tip.

Thanks Jorge for the update. Smilie

Support is always welcome, except when it's Ubisoft. Hope they make some decent games.

All will be forgiven with Ubi, if they give us Assassins Creed.


Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

Its funny how the table has turned around... everyone use to Love Ubisoft! Now its hated even more that EA... EA i remember when we people in here[C3] used to just say the 2 letters and they would get bombarded with insults!! Smilie And now soon as someone said the word UBI and everyone starts swearing!! Smilie

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

The reason it's going to be amazing is because of its graphics so don't count on it.
