“Wee 1ST” is what Activision will classify all of their Wii-specific games in the future. Not only will the games be classified as “Wee 1ST,” but the company will also make developing for Nintendo’s platform a priority. The first titles under the “Wee 1ST” brand include Little League World Series 2008, Rapala Fishing Frenzy, and Dancing with the Stars: Get Your Dance On. More titles are slated to be announced in the coming weeks.
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jul 09, 2008 – Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) today unveiled a new consumer initiative to expand the company’s Wii portfolio this Fall.
