At GDC Nintendo has already discussed WiiUnity, but they were also going to talk about some tools they've been using to develop WiiU applications like the recently released Wii Street U. Developers can now take full advantage of unique WiiU features while reducing development times significantly with the use HTML5 and JavaScript.
"The thing I'm most excited about for this is how easy it is to prototype new game ideas to find the fun quickly and easily.", Dan Adelman has stated recently.
| The Nintendo Web Framework is a development environment based on WebKit technologies, supporting application development on the Wii U system using HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. It also supports the Wii U GamePad controller, Wii Remote controllers, and JavaScript extensions such as video playback. With the Nintendo Web Framework, development times will be reduced and Wii U applications can be easily developed using common Web technologies. Combining the handy Wii U GamePad, the TV screen, and the Internet, the potential exists for the services and games you are developing to progress by leaps and bounds. |
