English developer Medaverse Studios has announced that it has been licensed as an official developer for the Nintendo Wii and that its first title will be available via the console’s WiiWare download service. Gravatronix is the second known WiiWare title behind BPlus’ PLATTCHEN - Twist ’n’ Paint.

“We’re immensely grateful to Nintendo for giving us this opportunity,” said Jesse Lowther, Lead Designer, “As a creative team, we had always toyed with the idea of game development and we even had an RPG in the planning stages during the height of the GBA’s popularity. We had all but given up on that dream, but when Nintendo first revealed the Wii remote to the world, that dream came back with a vengeance. Once WiiWare appeared on the horizon, we knew it was our chance.”

Lowther continued:

“We’re looking forward to introducing our own unique style to the gaming world with Gravitronix. “We hope to offer a fun and accessible gaming experience which is easy to learn but a challenge to master, including a robust multiplayer mode with enough hidden depth to keep even the most hardcore of players struggling to outdo each other. The way we see it, if you don’t swear when you lose to another player, we haven’t done our job.”

A Nintendo Wii game encouraging profanity from gamers? Well, we never.
