Stewart Green MD of Data Design Interactive, said:

We have been developers for the past 24 years and we have seen many new consoles but the Nintendo Wii controller is exciting. Rather than just offering faster graphics and more memory this is the first real innovation in hardware, and because of the ease of use and dynamic control we can see both new games and new players being brought into the games market. Our Mythmakers range of titles have sold over half a million units and with their family friendly and cartoon style they are ideally suited to this Nintendo market, but we are not playing safe. Of the 12 titles we have planned for release we also have the 18 rated EARACHE EXTREME METAL RACING. A Death metal music game, which will open up the Wii to a whole new market.

Ninjabread Man

Excellent. Earache Extreme Metal Racing on the Wii! I was going to buy the PS2 version, but I'll hold out for the Wii version now. Hopefully it'll get released in the US.
