San Francisco – March 13, 2007 – We’re extremely proud to announce that later this year, Unity will support creating games for the amazing Nintendo Wii game console.

This is a very intriguing announcement. I’ve been a huge Mac fan since I was a kid, and I really thought that the Unity game development tool was a fantastic concept when I saw it. With this announcement, making games for the revolutionary Wii may become a possibility for a lot more people, hopefully for you and me.

With this, it becomes possible to make Wii games with Python! Well, sort of. Unity supports game scripting via the language Boo, which uses a Python-inspired syntax. With this feature, it should be easier for Pythonistas to learn how to use Unity.

Currently, Unity is a Mac-only tool, but supports deployment on Windows and Mac. Eventually, I hope to own my own Mac and a copy of Unity. All I have to do now is look for $2700 to spend…
