Bplus is the team behind PLÄTTCHEN - twist ‘n’ paint, which is the first title that was announced for Wii Ware, the sort-of Nintendo Wii version of Xbox Live Arcade.  

In a recent interview, Bplus’ Bernd Geiblinger, the PLÄTTCHEN Art Director, talked about the new online service and how it’s different from what’s already out there. 

N-europe.com: What was your motive to develop a WiiWare game rather than a game for the Xbox Live Arcade? How do you see WiiWare stacking up against a rival service like Live Arcade?

BG: Wii allows developers to deliver a game experience like no other console currently available on the market. That made our decision very easy. Nintendo suggests developers to create unique software that really stands out. This will make the Wii download service, like the console itself, very different to anything the competition offers.
