Tons of games will be directed at the DS and Wii, including Will Wright's Spore on the former!
According to Next-Gen.Biz, in a quarterly conference call, Electronic Arts confirmed that they'd be putting a lot more efforts towards games on Nintendo's DS and Wii. CFO Warren Jenson had this to say:
“We have shifted and acquired resources and are attacking these successful platforms."
Perhaps most exciting, though, is that EA is bringing Will Wright's Spore (formerly only known as PC release) to the DS, something that's been hinted at since Wright himself expressed interest in the idea last year.
Furthermore, CEO Larry Probst offered up his opinion on the Wii, saying:
“With regards to the Wii platform, at least initially, it seems like it’s expanding the overall market and expanding the demographic of users and people that purchase software, so we think that’s a good thing. We’ll have to see if that’s sustainable over time, but certainly [Nintendo’s] got off to a very encouraging start."
Though EA's widely known for making games on every platform under the sun, the special treatment being talked about here can only mean good news for gamers. Stay tuned to NWR as more on this story breaks.
