The developer of WiiWare game Swords & Soldiers has told ONM why Ronimo Games decided to release its superb strategy game through Nintendo's WiiWare download service.
In an interview with Official Nintendo Magazine, Ronimo Games' Fabian Akker said: "It's so easy to get your games out there! It's much harder on Xbox Live. It was tough at first to get a license from Nintendo at first - we were just kids from school - but THQ helped us a lot. And the Wii controls are perfect for the game. I found it really weird that there were no RTS games on the Wii. The Remote's pointer is perfect for the genre."

Akker also revealed that the next release from Ronimo Games will probably be a downloadable title. "It's (download games) definitely the future. Our next game will probably be on WiiWare too. It's an open platform, it's relatively cheap and it gives you loads of freedom."
