I could be really wrong about my summation of City Interactive’s publishing abilities for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii, but I’m really guessing that this is all about shovelware. Regardless, the company will be developing and publishing titles for the aforementioned Nintendo gaming platforms this year.

"Branching into developing and publishing for Nintendo platforms marks an exciting new chapter for City Interactive," said Mark Rudolph, Marketing and Operations Manager for City Interactive. "We're honored to be working with Nintendo, with its rich history of groundbreaking achievements in the videogame industry, and eager to begin making games for Nintendo's astoundingly successful current-generation systems.”

There’s always the possibility that City Interactive’s games being developed for the DS and Wii might actually be worth playing, but again, they have a lot to prove from where a lot of hardcore gamers stand. While the casual market may be propelling the Nintendo hardware forward on the market, just about any software that isn’t first-party is pretty much bargain-bin bait.

We’ll keep you posted on news regarding City Interactive and the titles they have planned for release on the DS and Wii. Until then, be sure to stay tuned with Blend Games.
