“Nintendo is waking up”; THQ to Support Revolution

Matt Casamassina of IGNcube.com recently interviewed THQ president Brian Farrell and he made the following comments when asked about Nintendo’s Revolution:

Tonight at THQ’s year-end press event, IGNcube caught up with company president Brian Farrell and quizzed him on Revolution plans. Farrell did confirm that THQ is developing “games for Revolution.” Providing more details than that, Farrell indicated wide support for all the next-generation consoles including Revolution, saying, “THQ’s plan is to serve gamers no matter what platform they are on.” Backing that up, he also firmly stated, “We are commited to Nintendo’s [Revolution].”

However, when asked about what plans Nintendo has laid out for THQ, Brian was hush-hush on the matter. But he claims that based on his discussions with the hardware giant, he feels that “Nintendo is waking up.”

Finally, when confronted with the question of whether or not THQ was in possession of development hardware, Mr. Farrell declined to provide specifics due to non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). All he would say was that “We’re seeing more from Nintendo now [for Revolution] than we have an any other Nintendo platform.”

Great news for sure; this should make many worried fans feel that much better. So far, every developer who has spoken about the Revolution had something relatively positive to say about the console. If THQ has been talking closely with Nintendo, then it’s almost certain other big-name developers have as well.
