Industry News | Midway CEO Talks Wii Commitment

By Jorge Ba-oh 20.09.2007 2

Midway's CEO David Zucker recently discussed the company's focus on next-generation development, upcoming projects and a commitment to support the Wii.

"We've been focused on this next-generation, really now for a couple of years. We've sunk over USD 100 million just in the technology for next-gen development. It all starts with Stranglehold, we've got BlackSite coming, Unreal Tournament 3, Wheelman, and really a healthy schedule for next year, which we'll be talking more about later this year...

I think it's going to be interesting to see how the growth rate continues to ramp as we start to see games like Stranglehold, and Halo, and Grand Theft Auto, and these titles that are really going to take advantage of what the PS3 and Xbox 360 can do. These are games that won't be available on the Wii. There'll be a nice expansion of the market, and we've got a pretty big commitment to the Wii."

Be sure to stick around for updates. Thanks to Codename Revolution.

With rubbish like Cruis'n on the way, talk about commitment...

I tell you something those games are great but this is a comical response. To be fair we dont know what they might have in the works for Wii but it does seems they are spending the bulk of their funds on UnrealE3 productions, not Wii.


I am playing Stanglehold on the PC it's wild fun but it wont last I forsee. I am breezing through it like a Dove on fire. Blacksite51 looks amazing, and I will be buying Unreal T 3 for sure.

" We’ve sunk over USD 100 million just in the technology for next-gen development..."

...only to find we backed the wrong horse.
