This might not be big news to most but, this being the first game I work on that wasn’t canceled/postponed, I’m totally psyched! Yup, my first ever designed game to see a public release, Midnight Pool for Wii Ware, is coming soon to a Wii near you!
The team working on this really did put a lot of effort in it and we believe we really did make the best pool game out there available on any console. I’m really happy that the game is finally out and I can’t wait to pick-up a Wii so that I can show it off to all my friends
Here’s a snippet from the press release:
I have to say that I am boggled at how successful Nintendo is these days. They literally gave their hardcore fans the finger with comments like “the only ppl who want hard disk space in their wii are geeks and otakus” or with this year’s E3. More and more Nintendo has been laughing in all our faces. I own a wii, and can see how it really brings in non gamers, but its NOT a next gen system and worse its controls are completely broken.
Today at E3 Microsoft had their press conference, it is clear that Microsoft is not doing too great these days as analysts all agree that it is a matter of time before the PS3 surpass it in sales. Already it has overtaken the 360 in Europe and in Japan long ago… And according to the NPD numbers the PS3 has outsold the 360 5 months in a row this year in North America. So it was obvious that they needed some kind of big announcement or strategy to keep their title now as the number one selling next-gen console in America (the wii is NOT next gen).
The fine folks at the
I’m not telling you which, but I’m working on one of those four games
I don’t get it. A console that’s more powerful than most computers out there can’t handle browsing? How is it that the PS3 browser can run out of system memory if I have more than a few webpages open at once? What friggin sense does that make?
