After having left EA behind, a group of veteran developers formerly of the EA Canada arm have formed their own group called 'Jet Black Studios' and are to focus on Nintendo's Wii and DS. The fully independent team will not just be bringing licensed games to the table, but plenty of new content as well.
"With the launch of our new studio we've brought together all the key elements to develop top games. Both the Nintendo DS and the Wii's Wi-Fi capabilities provide an advanced medium for Jet Black to bring already popular franchises to an even broader worldwide audience."
- Co-founder and CEO Roger Freddi.
Jet Black is not working alone, though, as it has struck up a close business relationship with Flashman Studios, a business management firm that has been involved with the likes of Disney's Pixar projects, as well as Ignition, Warner Brothers and Sony Online Entertainment.
"We are confident in the capabilities of Jet Black's exceptional team, and know our strong global alliances and years of game experience will help grow its business. Our proven success in cultivating the right match of intellectual property, publisher and developer will allow Jet Black to do what they do best – build great games, create inspirational ideas and develop great technology."
- Brad Young, CEO of Flashman.
With any luck we will learn of new projects in the near future.
