A new AFP release profiling this week’s GDC conference suggests Wii development training will be a large part of the show for Nintendo: “Among [GDC’s] features will be lessons in designing games for Nintendo’s popular new Wii video game console with motion-sensitive controllers.”
I think third-party publishers have done an okay job so far, lackluster graphics and repurposed content efforts aside. I think its safe to say developing controls on Wii is, for the most part, fairly straightforward. But I can’t wait to see where Nintendo and others take this thing…
What we would really like to see is Nintendo training third-party developers on online gameplay… where are the online play dev kits??
The kits were sent out.
The developers are not really at fault, let alone needing lessons, I see Nintendo's strategy is just backwards since all the third parties want is to make a multi-platform game with as little hassle as possible.The controller just doesn't make that any easier.
hey InvisibleMan- I wish the big N was going to LET 3rd party developers make online games this year, let alone show them how…If its true, that is a BIG let down.Oh well I have my X-box 360 for fun online gaming this year…
