At udvikle til Wii er billigt

Præsidenten fra THQ, Brian Farrel, har ved en nyligt afholdt konference talt om planerne vedrørende Wii.

Brian Farrel udtaler:"We showed in a press event recently a SpongeBob game using the Nintendo Wii and Wii controller... And standing there watching very jaded game journalists hoot and holler on a SpongeBob game was actually quite relieving. One of the things we like about that platform is the development costs...on the Wii are nowhere near what they are on the PS3 and Xbox 360. That's something that's quite encouraging."
Som jo kort sagt betyder, at THQ er meget interesserede i at udvikle til Wii, eftersom det lyder til at være en hel del nemmere, og langt billigere at udvikle spil til Wii, i modsætning til konkurrenterne.
Hertil udtaler Brian Farrel: "The Wii wasn't a whole new programming environment...So we had a lot of tools and tech that work in that environment. So those costs--and again, I hate these broad generalizations--but they could be as little as a third of the high-end next-gen titles... Maybe the range is a quarter to a half."

Så det ser da ganske lovende ud.

Til sidst fortæller Brian Farrel: "As you probably know, our portfolio maps very, very well to what we think the Wii demographic is going to be".

Indtil videre har THQ annonceret SpongeBob SquarePants, Avatar: The Last Airbender og et spil baseret på Pixar's kommende film "Cars" til Nintendos Wii-maskine.

Fedt at høre de har så meget "love" for Wii. Det er vigtigt at de store udviklere tror på konsollen fra starten af
