Jet Black Games Launches Video Game Development Studio
Former Electronic Arts Canada, industry veterans announced today the
formation of Jet Black Games, a video game development company that will focus
on developing original and licensed intellectual properties for the Nintendo DS
and Wii. With careers that have spanned two generations of consoles, the
founders have been credited with numerous blockbusters and platinum selling
titles.
"With the launch of our new studio we've brought together all the key elements
to develop top games: proven experience and talent, the desire to push the
creative envelope, commitment to making games we ourselves want to play, and all
the resources and support systems needed to perform," states Roger Freddi,
Co-founder and CEO of Jet Black.
Jet Black has strategically aligned itself with Flashman Studios Inc., a
business management firm specializing in interactive entertainment endeavours.
This alliance presents immediate opportunities for Jet Black to leverage
Flashman's roster of well-known intellectual properties, and situates the studio
at the forefront of Nintendo's revolution in gaming.
"Both the Nintendo DS and Wii's WiFi capabilities provide an advanced medium for
Jet Black to bring already popular franchises to an even broader worldwide
audience." Freddi adds, "These recognised licensed properties serve to ensure
that Jet Black is a name to affiliate with Nintendo games, and nicely complement
the original IP on which we're working."
"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 their
business", Brad Young, CEO of Flashman said. "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."
