Capybara Expands to DS, Wii

Mobile developer also bringing its titles to digital distribution platforms

Today, Capybara Games announced that it will bring many of its titles to DS, Wii and various digital distribution platforms. The mobile developer has worked on titles such as Happy Feet, Pillow Fight, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and Cars in the past. Capybara is currently working on a licensed property for the DS, the title and publisher of which have yet to be revealed.

"Many of our mobile titles lend themselves to development on console platforms, and we see a lot potential in up-scaling and expanding these properties," said Tom Frencel, President of Capybara Games. "'Critter Crunch' is a perfect example of this. It's a game that received a great response after its mobile release, and we're really excited about the possibility of bringing it to console gamers as well."

"Our design team has been developing some great original concepts that have been on hold up until now, as we didn't feel that mobile was the appropriate platform for them. We're looking forward to seeing these concepts come to fruition," he added. "We will continue to maintain our mobile presence and develop strong licensed and original titles as we expand onto the DS, Wii, and digital distribution platforms. We believe that many of our concepts are well suited for these platforms, and we are working hard to get these quality titles into the hands of gamers everywhere."
