Dan Connors speaks on Wii Virtual Console… again
No new information on here, just a reiteration from Dan that they’re looking at the Virtual Console. Still, reconfirmations are always a good thing, so we can hope for a game announcement in the future.
I’ve noticed a post on your job entry for an Xbox systems programmer. That would seem to imply certain things. There was also a recent posting on the Telltale blog about Sam & Max on the Wii. Do you care to comment on either of those little tidbits of information?
DC: We definitely do hire programmers into our studio, and we want to build out the studio and start getting the engine over onto every console, especially with Xbox Live Arcade having so much traction. And with Virtual Console, there’s a lot of people interested in getting content downloaded, and that’s what we specialize in.
We want to be in on those channels without a doubt, and that’s something we’re working on at the studio to get done. Obviously, a lot goes into these things from a business perspective before it happens, and that’s just something that we’re working on and trying to get clarity on.
