Video games developer, Factor 5, have been strong supporters of Nintendo in the past, creating the Star Wars Rogue Squadron series for the N64 and GameCube. They've moved away from supporting Nintendo to concentrate on an exclusive partnership with Sony Computer Entertainment of America and are now in the process of developing the flight combat game, Lair, for the Playstation 3. The Factor 5 President has now gone on record in the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine to reveal the reasons why his company will not be supporting Wii.

According to EGM, the President referred to Wii as the "Gamecube 1.5" and also said that the "audio is relatively mediocre".

They also claimed that they are not working with Microsoft's Xbox 360 because it isn't '"exciting enough". Oh, really.

Nintendo fans hoping to see Rogue Squadron IV will be sorely disappointed.
