Marvelous wants to step up from Wii to 'more hardcore platforms'

See the part that I itaicized below.

Wanting to develop for the HD consoles is not a bad move -- especially when you realize that all consoles will be HD in the next generation. And it is not like development for the Wii will stop.

As for those wanting NMH 3 on PS3/Xbox 360 -- maybe you'll get a spin-off 8*>

 

For Marvelous, there's been a lot of emphasis on Nintendo platforms. There have been a couple of games that feel like they would have been more appropriate on the more hardcore platforms. How do you feel about that? Do you feel that it's still really good to mostly target Nintendo?

YW: We do have a really good relationship with Nintendo, so we'll continue making games for Nintendo. But at the same time, I'm very interested in the more hardcore platforms.

All of the development projects that are going on require a lot of technical skills and techniques, and we'd love to eventually improve to the point where we can go on to the PS3, 360 and PC.

To be honest, we always wanted to make a game on the hardcore platforms, but at that time, there wasn't enough money or skill. But now, I think we're at the point where we can actually go into it and start thinking that we can actually do it.
