Homebrew Apps on Nintedo Wii?
Amidst the Nintedo Wii naming controversy, company president Satoru Iwata issued a press release carrying a statement that could finally appease gamers who can’t accept the fact that the name “Revo” is dead and gone. According to him:
“The controller lets game developers create new kinds of gaming experiences, ones that enhance the experience for hard-core gamers while making video games more accessible and less intimidating to novices. The new forms of innovative software that can be created by any size developer will be made available for download via Revolution’s Virtual Console service.”
The presidential statement can be interpreted two ways. “Any size developers” could refer to the small developers Nintendo has been wooing to come up “with an addictive, but simple title – such as Tetris.” Or it could mean Nintendo Wii will support homebrew applications from home-based developers and distribute them through its virtual console service. Whichever it is, we’ll relay the word to you as soon as the official statement reaches us.
