Wii Ware gets some naughty dogs
Naughty Dog itself isn't developing for the Wii, but two of its former developers are. Ex-dogs Jason Hughes and Andrew Gilmour formed a company called Steel Penny Games last year, which will be making a game for Wii Ware.
The company has been spending the past year creating an engine for the Wii platform. Steel Penny's first game for the Wii will be a new IP designed for Wii Ware, one that they hope will turn into a series of multiple games. The game, called Bruiser and Scratchin the Case of the Puzzling Paw, will be a puzzle adventure title with fantasy elements and characters.
Hughes said that he was "impressed with the egalitarian approach Nintendo has taken toward Wii Ware developers," and thinks that Wii Ware is a good way for developers to get a foothold in the industry.
A format that's good for fledgling developers? That's certainly something we can get behind.
