| Nintendo's Wii to Leverage Multiplayer Tehnology from GameSpy GameSpy, a unit of Fox Interactive Media, says that it will provide multiplayer technology to game publishers developing titles for Nintendo's Wii video game system. As part of an ongoing partnership with Nintendo, GameSpy has developed middleware technology to enable Wii titles to offer community features, such as friend rosters, advanced matchmaking capabilities and comprehensive rankings data. Pok?mon Battle Revolution, the first Wii game to utilize the technology, launches on June 25, with multiplayer features similar to those leveraging GameSpy technology in several Nintendo DS titles. Prior to this development agreement for Wii, GameSpy and Nintendo brought gamers wireless community options for Nintendo DS. The service provided an innovative network for portable video games, allowing people around the world to link easily and wirelessly to play games. The partnership represented GameSpy's first foray into portable games. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Game News :: home page |
