John Carmack could make a Wii exclusive
id Software eye Nintendo's baby
id Software supremo John Carmack is usually at the forefront of console and PC technological progress, so we're surprised and interested to learn today that the game engine guru is in talks to make an exclusive title for the Wii.
Speaking with MTV Multiplayer, rocket scientist Carmack said that he's come around to the benefits of the platform after playing it with his four year-old son.
"Interestingly, I actually spend far more time playing Wii with my four year-old boy than I do with any other game console. So I'm definitely sympathetic to the platform," he revealed, despite calling the format under-powered in the past.
"We've been pitched and talked about a project to do a title that would fit well on the Wii, and it's actually related to an iPhone title that we're doing. But that's still kind of up in the air as to what other developer we would partner with on there."
Carmack hints that if id do go on to make a new Wii title, that it won't be a re-release of an older title on the format; but something tailored to the nuances of the platform. Exciting?
