TransGaming launches its own game development studio
TransGaming has subsisted as a game porting company for years, converting PC games to run on Macs or Linux machines. Now it is announcing a new game studio that’s working on a game for the Nintendo Wii game console.
Toronto, Canada-based TransGaming is working with Foreign Media Games on a game for the Wii called Armin Van Buuren — In the Mix. It’s a music game based on a popular disc jockey personality. The company hopes that ventures like this will help it generate new revenues that leverage its core technology, said Vikas Gupta, chief executive.
Foreign Media Games is a Dutch company that specializes in music entertainment publishing.
