Blitz Games confirms support for Nintendo Revolution

As developers and publishers continue to prepare for the battle of the next-gen consoles, Warwickshire-based studio Blitz Games has announced plans to produce a title for the Nintendo Revolution.

No details of the game have been released so far, but a "major publisher" will be providing more information shortly. It does seem likely that the game will make use of the Revolution's unique "freestyle" remote controller, however, judging by comments from Blitz co-founder Andrew Oliver.

"Nintendo's innovation over the years has trail blazed new concepts and the new controller is no exception," Oliver said.

"It will give people new ways to play existing genres but moreover we hope it will spawn altogether new gaming experiences."

Blitz CEO Philip Oliver added: "This latest addition to our portfolio clearly signals that Blitz is one of the few major developers with the capability and technology to work on both next and current generation titles simultaneously."

"Our strategy of a fully featured, well structured tool chain and cross platform engine has really paid off and we are quickly able to incorporate these new platforms with relative ease making our development faster and more efficient."

Blitz Games was set up in 1990 by the Oliver twins, who are best known for creating the Dizzy series. They've since developed more than 100 games, with Blitz's latest releases including Bad Boys II and Pac-Man World 3.
