Heatseeker Developer Talks Wii

The developers behind Heatseeker, IR Gurus, recently sat down for a chat with Gamespot on working on Nintendo Wii, in addition to the company’s plans for future next-gen projects.

Executive producer Ben Palmer had the following to say:

“We’re pleased to be getting something out of the Wii because there doesn’t seem to be a huge amount of games out there, so hopefully that will do quite well – it’s getting very good reviews, which we’re very pleased with.”

“The Wii is quite an easy platform to work on because of its single core nature. It means that if you’re used to other single core systems – like the PS2 – you’ll be up and running on the Wii quite quickly.”

“The controller is obviously quite interesting, as you have to get quite creative with that to get anything out of it. But generally the platform is quite rapid to develop on – we like it.”

For the uninformed, Heatseeker is a flight-combat game also available for PS2/PSP.
