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..

… I do think that with the controller the people at Nintendo were absolute geniuses. Two years ago…you just saw what Microsoft and Sony were doing, and the amount of processing power they were putting into these things, and how much it was going to cost them to make these machines…and there’s Nintendo on the sidelines and I’m thinking “guys, I wouldn’t like to be where you’re sitting right now.” How the hell are you going to compete with that?

And to be honest, they said “we’ve got something coming, and it’s going to be a revolution,” and I’m thinking I don’t know what you’ve got, but I can’t see how you can compete. But then coming out with what they’ve come out with, it’s like –that’s genius! Basically these two heavyweights have gone in with sledgehammers, and [Nintendo has] come in with this sort of very nice small hammer which suits so many of the customers down to the ground very very nicely, and does what they need.

…The processing power inside the machine is good enough. It’s good enough to make any fun game that you want to. And that controller will give you kind of new and original games that the other platforms can’t even do, with all their power. It’s a masterstroke, I have to say.
