Next Generation: Take-Two Has Their Eyes on Wii
According to Next Generation, Take-Two, which traditionally hasn’t been a very big supporter of Nintendo’s platforms, is showing growing interest in Nintendo’s upcoming console. The President and CEO of Take Two, Paul Eibeler, had this to say concerning the Wii:
“The positive [aspect] for us is that we haven’t been a big player in the Nintendo platform. The reception that [the Wii] received at the E3 show is one that makes us take a real strong look at it. As we grow our sports business, there are opportunities with our sports games to extend them to the Wii system, particularly if you look at baseball, where we have an exclusive arrangement, as well as some of the other sports games that would play extremely well on the Wii product.”
Take-Two Interactive is most well known for having Rockstar Games, 2K Games and 2K Sports under their belt. This is really good news for people hoping the Wii doesn’t go the way of the GameCube thanks to third party support. When more news becomes available for what Take-Two will bring to the Wii, be sure that we will keep you informed.
