n-Space opens new studio for Wii development

I must admit, if I weren't being paid my weight ~~on the moon~~ in gold here at The Fanboy, I'd probably try to get in with n-Space, developer behind the FPS/possession-sim title Geist for the GameCube. See, they're expanding and hiring new people, with the new space being dedicated to Wii development. More importantly, they're based in Orlando, which happens to be my current stomping grounds. Oh, I know what you're thinking.

"But Dave, how can you apply for a job if you're just some dumb jerk who blogs about stuff? Don't you need real assets and experience to get a job with such a kickass developer?"

Immediately following Timmy's question, I'd probably hit him with a shovel and bury him in my basement. See, I don't like people pointing out my shortcomings and dashing my dreams. Dreams of long shifts staring at code and being whipped by team leads.

Ridiculous ranting aside, if you're interested in applying for a job and aren't a whacky blogger, might I suggest hitting up their homepage right over hynah?

Geist (GC) is selling for 9.99 at the best buys in the Annapolis MD area. I bought mine, expecting it to sell out, and it is still sitting on the shelf in 2 stores at that price. I was surprised. The game was a lot of fun...if you don�t mind really stupid AI. I loved the concept, and enjoyed the half adventure game half FPS. If anything, I love a game that uses a widescreen aspect ratio on the Gamecube.

I look forward to what they can bring to the new controls.

I love to see all these developers opening new studios for Wii versions of games or Wii exclusives. It shows that they are expecting Wii to be a hit, or at least that they estimate the potential sales to outweigh the risk of startup cash.

Plus, with studios developing Wii games separated from the rest, they'll likely come up with unique ways to play their games. This can only mean positive things for Wii.

By the way, nice post David, glad to see some humor around these parts, especially with these endless days before some real Wii news! And thanks for the star, if you are the one that awarded it earlier today. I've gone up by one here and one on Joystiq in the last day... 'oh how I love these (worthless) stars'! :)
