EA Canada Births New Wii/DS Studio……Sort of

A couple of former EA Canada employees have started up their own development firm called Jet Black Games to focus on Nintendo Wii and DS development. EA Canada which is known for their stellar work on the popular EA sports titles except Madden of course. Is where these developers got their stripes before heading out on their own.
But why focus on Nintendo Wii and DS game development? Roger Freddi Co-Founder and CEO of Jet Black Games explains.
“Both the Nintendo DS and Wiis WiFi capabilities provide an advanced medium for Jet Black to bring already popular franchises to an even broader worldwide audience.”
Jet Black is going to have their work cut out for them seeing as how Nintendo isn’t really ready to share Wii Online game secrets with 3rd party developers yet. Now lets just hope they come up with something a little better than Need for Speed Carbon.

Let’s just hope EA doesn’t ruin this. If they keep up the trend that people are noticing I don’t know how well this will play out. Like all they do is slightly update their sports games and add new players to any of them. Now that’s not to say they do that to everything. Some things they do are alright, nothing off the top of my head is a money making top seller. Probably because they don’t need it. Their sports games make plenty of cash for them, why put money into anything else right? But lets hope the guys in this department don’t think that way.
