BANDAI-NAMCO Triples Wii Support

They had already announced 9 Wii titles in development. Over the weekend, Bandai-Namco let the press know their plans for the 360 & PS3. Ten unnamed titles between the two next-gen consoles. They topped that news with an incredibly large vote of confidence in Nintendo: 30 titles in production for Wii!
Of course, that includes the 9 we already new about, some of which are launch titles for Wii. Still, 21 new titles is quite impressive, on one console nonetheless.

CUBED3 postulates:

What else could there be? Will Namco franchises like Ridge Racer, Tekken, Soul Calibur, Time Crisis or Ace Combat make an appearance? Will the recently announced Mario Kart GP 2 for the arcade be eventually ported? Or will the remainder simply be made up of Virtual Console re-releases?

Whether they’re new IP or classic franchises, a few of those 30 games are likely to be gems. 2007 will be a good year for Wii owners looking for a variety of software.

BLITZ GAMES calls Wii “A Masterstroke”, “Genius”

Blitz, makers of the [creepily hilarious] series of Burger King games, have announced plans for the Wii console. In an recent interview, Philip Oliver of Blitz Games, had this to say:

We want to be a major developer of downloadable games, not just for Xbox Live Arcade, but for the Sony system and the Nintendo system…we’re proposing new, fun games.

The juicy tidbits of praise are after the jump. Can’t wait to see what Blitz can cook up for the Wii Shop Channel..
