Brownie Brown wants to develope for Wii & DS

According to a recent article on Silconera, it would seem that Brownie Brown wants to try and jump into Wii development. Shinichi Kameoka, President of Brownie Brown, is starting to really look into WiiWare and the possibility of developing new exclusive titles for the system. Brownie Brown has a great track record dealing with various hand held RPG’s ranging from Sword of Mana all the way up to the upcoming Blue Dragon Plus for the Nintendo DS.
What also came as a surprise is the fact that Kameoka mentioned the possibility of releasing Mother 3 on the Nintendo DS. According to Silconera…
Brownie Brown also had a hand in developing Mother 3. While it’s way too late for Nintendo of America to backtrack and release Mother 3 as a Game Boy Advance game they could port it to the Nintendo DS. “If we were asked to make one [a DS version of Mother 3], then we would definitely like for fans abroad to play the game,” Kameoka-san said.
The possibility of seeing a DS port of Mother 3 would probably send fans of the series into a frenzy. While Mother 3 probably won’t be released for a while it does give slight hope to the game being released sometime in the future. Who knows if they will go through with rereleasing it. Only time will tell.

Wow, I can’t read half this post. At least run spellcheck.

Hmm…. this could be good news. Granted, the only game of thiers that I played was the GBA RPG Sword of Mana, but that was a really good game. I think I put about 57 hours total into that game. (Still nowhere near my record playtime in a game, which happens to be in – Final Fantasy Tactics Advance: 345 Hours and 19 Minutes)
If Brownie Brown makes a new game for the Wii or DS, I recommend keeping an eye on it if you like RPGs.
P.S. I think most people interested in Mother 3 already played the translated version on the PC/GBA

Anything that might lead to more RPGs on the Wii is a great thing. Someone give him some money and a dev team and tell him to get started!

Thats a sick name for a dev company.

Can you imagine how incredibly cool it would be, if Brownie Brown is making Super Mario RPG 2: The Legends of the Mushroomy Kingdom?

The Mother 3 info sounds pretty dam good. Even if it is a port of the GBA versiont hat was in Japan before. I would want to see this guy get SEGA and Nintendo together again to make a crossover Mario & Sonic RPG game. That would be interesting to play.

What a coinkidink. I was just playing Mother 3, like, five minutes ago. So a DS port of it, eh? That would be pretty cool. It’s just too bad that it would never see the light of day outside of Japan.

This is not really news since Brownie Brown announced that they were supporting DS and Wii a couple of years back. This is merely to confirm that they are still planning to support Nintendo platforms at this point. Although the interest in WiiWare is news to me since there was nothing from Brownie Brown on that one until now.
