Ubisoft whispers the wonder of Wii 2

Easy to develop for, apparently

Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

French games publisher Ubisoft has expressed its excitement over Nintendo's Wii successor, suggesting the forthcoming console will be a high-powered piece of kit that developers will find easy to port to.

In a call to investors, CEO Yves Guillemot said: "The platform Nintendo is coming with is really a fantastic platform. We think it will be extremely successful…

"What we see is that we will be able to leverage a lot of the work we do for Xbox 360 and PS3 while we create games for the platform. We'll be able to use all the capacity the console is giving but also use all the work we do for the other platforms."

An official revelation is expected during the E3 games expo next month, until then, let the speculation continue. ®

The Wii

Im no fan of the Wii but an update is LONG overdue, considering pretty much everything inside the Wii is essentially an N64 its done bloody well for its age, 15 years old! what ever you think of the Wii you have to give that some credit! i wonder if the Wii 2 and its insides last that long?
