New Eidos label targets Wii with cheap casual games
CVG reports that Eidos has unveiled a new publishing label called SoGoPlay. Its mission: to bring the world of casual gaming to casual gamers, at very, very, very affordable prices.
Its targets: the PC, the DS, and in the future, the PS2 and Wii.
SoGoPlay promises “compelling gameplay”, and yes, there is a growing market for casual games. On the other hand, and especially with the label targeting the Wii, there are fears – expressed in comments to the CVG article – that this might only reinforce the Nintendo console as a bastion of minigames. There may be no drought, but if this keeps up, there may very well be a flood.
Surprisingly, nothing is mentioned about potential exploits of Xbox Live or PlayStation Network as potential avenues to deliver SoGoPlay casual games to those platforms.
(Surprisingly, there is an existing SoGoPlay brand that delivers casual games. Whether this report refers to Eidos buying them out or getting their own SoGoPlay… if a lawsuit develops we’ll let you know).
