Midway CEO David Zucker has revealed in an interview that they are planning to make three titles for the Wii, two of which will be exclusive to Nintendo’s next-gen console. One of the games for the Wii that will be launched by Midway is Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
David Zucker told Gamasutra, “We are very thrilled by the strong response of gamers and the press alike to the launch of The Lord of The Rings Online, and we are encouraged by the early excitement we are seeing for such front-line titles as Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for the Wii, Stranglehold, BlackSite: Area 51, The Wheelman, Unreal Tournament III and Hour of Victory. As the next generation systems build momentum through this year, we believe we are well situated to take advantage of the growing base of gamers looking for the highest quality content.”
Zucker made these statements after announcing that Midway had reported sales of $11.1 million and losses of about $19.8 million. However, he stated that the sales were slow but exceeded their expectations during the first quarter mainly due to the continuing sales of Midway’s holiday 2006 releases and other catalog titles.
