GameSpy will offer the multiplayer technology to game publishers developing titles for the Wii. The middleware technology will make it simple for Wii titles to feature community features such as friend rosters, advanced matchmaking and ranking data.
“This partnership will expand our wireless community of players on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection,” said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “Millions of Nintendo DS users have already logged on using GameSpy’s technology, and now Wii owners will be able to do the same in a fun and easy-to-use environment.“
The first Wii game to make use of the technology will be Pokémon Battle Revolution which is scheduled to launch in North America on June 25 – later this year in Europe.
