Logitech to create Wii peripherals

Logitech NetPlay Controller - PS1/2“Logitech is always considering the newest platforms, technologies and opportunities to provide great peripherals,” Logitech’s Ruben Mookerjee, Director of Product Marketing for Interactive Entertainment said.

“The new Nintendo Wii platform is intriguing and with their innovative controller approach, we think it will be successful in the marketplace. At this time, we cannot comment on any products we are working on or specific platform support; however, given Logitech’s history of working with Nintendo, especially with the Logitech Speed Force Wheel, we look forward to supporting the platform.”

Speaking to Spong today, leading peripheral manufacturer Logitech has confirmed that it will be providing third-party peripherals for Nintendo’s Wii.

This thanks to Nintendo’s offer to make the Wii motion and position-sensing technology open to publishers, developers and companies like Logitech, means the emerging platform could well be the home of some very weird, very intuitive controllers.
