Gearbox Software which is best known for the critically praised Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 on PlayStation 2 and Xbox, has said that it will also develop games for Nintendo Wii.
Gearbox Software’s President Randy Pitchford says, “Gearbox Software is enthusiastically supporting the Wii. t this time, we don’t have any announcements to make about specific games we may be developing for Wii. I think it’s great. I’m very much looking forward to playing. The strengths of the Nintendo Wii include the price, the unique interface, the sure-bet library of games based on the great Nintendo properties and the promise back catalogue of classic games from Nintendo and others that they have partnered with. The weaknesses of the system include its lower relative power when compared to other next-gen consoles and the unique interface requiring more dedicated focus specifically for the platform.”
Gearbox is at present working on the next installment in the Brothers in Arms series, Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway. The game has been officially announced for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
