Interview with Factor 5’s Julian Eggebrecht

An interesting interview with Mr. Eggebrecht regarding the Wii and his thoughts on the console. It’s pretty cool to hear another developer giving his thoughts on what’s going on with the Wii.  His company, Factor 5, was behind the smash hits Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, and the two sequels.  While their last game, Lair on the PS3, was far from a critical success, they just might hit that genius spark with Wii.

Some key points in interview -

- Developers disregarding graphical capabilities on Wii.

- Hardware is “very, very easy to understand.”

- Would consider doing another Star Wars title for Nintendo.

- Upset with peoples’ negative attitude towards casual games.  “Essentially, we’re all casual.”

He says a few more things that are pretty interesting to hear, including Factor 5’s next project.  For more on the interview (which has been translated, so it might not make TOTAL sense), check it out, thanks to our friends at Gonintendo.com
