Vivendi To Bring Crash Bandicoot To The Wii

Crash BandicootCrash Bandicoot, orange-skinned mutant marsupial and proud owner of a built-in fanny pack, may be landing on the shores of the Nintendo Wii soon. Publisher Vivendi confirmed plans that they will be bringing the Crash Bandicoot franchise to the Wii in 2007, although details are still scarce at this time.

In other Crash news, Japan-based Dimps is currently developing the latest Crash Bandicoot game for the Nintendo DS. This is interesting, considering that Vivendi had earlier proclaimed Radical Entertainment as the franchise's "new home" with last year's release of Crash Tag Team Racing. Vivendi did confirm, however, that Radical is still an integral part of the equation for Crash's future in terms of home console releases, but that Dimps had been preferred for Crash Boom Bang! because of their expertise on handheld formats. This reasoning seems pretty sound, as Dimps has worked on most portable Sonic games for the Nintendo portables.
