WiiWare Developer Proposes Pokemon MMO

by Skylar Wilcox (2008-05-19)

Plucky young upstart Australian developer Nnooo just got their start last week with the simple WiiWare title Pop, but they're already eager to move on to something deeper.  According to the site's Licenses page, they want to tackle an MMO based in the Pokemon universe, and are currently pitching the concept to Nintendo.



Nintendo isn't known for being the most receptive to the concept of online play, so the developer likely faces an uphill battle.  Worse, a developer named Genius Sonority was founded in 2001 for the sole purpose of developing Pokemon games for consoles, so the territory's not exactly up for grabs.  But hey, stranger things have happened, particularly where the Wii is involved.  If this goes anywhere, our coverage is sure to follow.
