Help us Help you

Nintendo is releasing a new development tool which will make it easier for developers to make games for the Nintendo Wii, taking advantage of its unique controller. It's called LiveMove, and developers can train the controller by moving it.

Genyo Takeda, senior MD and general manager of the Integrated Research & Development Division at Nintendo comments, "When Nintendo's development teams saw LiveMove, we instantly recognized how it would greatly increase our ability to explore and experiment with new concepts and make our lives easier. This revolutionary tool liberates the imaginations of game creators."

“We are more than happy to share this collaborative LiveMove tool with independent Wii software developers all over the world. From a cowboy's lasso to a samurai's sword or a chef's cooking utensils, we just can't wait to play developers new, 'unexpected' applications."

We already know that developers are intrigued with the Wii and the possibilities, and now it will be easier for them to develop. Sounds like good news for Nintendo, developers, and of course, gamers.
