Senile talks WiiWare decision for Rush Rush Rally Racing, improvements and future Nintendo support
A portion of a Nintendo Life interview with Senile Team...
NL: What made you want to bring the game to WiiWare?
ST: The Wii seemed like the best candidate for a port, hardware-wise. For example, its screen resolution and number of controllers are comparable to the Dreamcast's. Additionally one of our team members already had some experience with WiiWare, having worked as an artist on one of the first WiiWare titles.
NL: It's been about 18 months since you first announced R4 for WiiWare — what improvements have been made in the Wii version compared to the Dreamcast release?
ST: Not all of those 18 months were spent on improvements of course. Most of that time was wasted on bureaucratic drivel. But there have been many improvements, including, but not limited to:
Two new game modes (bringing the total up to six!)
A more zoomed-out view, allowing the player to see further ahead
Widescreen support
Improved control configuration
Redesigned menus and result screens
Other graphical improvements
Additional goals
NL: Do you have any further plans for games on Nintendo formats?
ST: There is a good chance you'll see more of us on a Nintendo platform. But it'll most likely be a new game, not a port from an existing Dreamcast title.
