Scaleform Announces Middleware for Wii

Scaleform has just announced that it’ll bring it’s Scaleform GFx middleware over to the Nintendo Wii which will benefit the console through media performance changes.

The technology in Scaleform GFx allows for high performance media since the middleware is compatible with other visual-tools such as Adobe Flash. By taking vector shapes and tessellating the data into triangles, the result will enable fast hardware accelerated rendering.

“We made sure the Scaleform GFx architecture works well with existing game engines on Wii, as well as new ones, said Brendan Iribe, president and CEO of Scaleform.

“Moreover, Scaleform GFx delivers a range of cursor features designed to take advantage of the Wii Remote’s enormous potential. With Scaleform GFx, developers can have the best of both worlds: artist-based data-driven content and hardware-accelerated scalable graphics.”
