Max & the Magic Marker is a physics based 2D platform game, in which the player controls the boy Max and his Magic Marker. While Max enables good old platforming fun, the marker pro­vides the game’s signature feature: the ability for the player to draw directly inside the game world where everything drawn becomes physical objects. This feature is used to complete levels and overcome challenges but it also provides the player with a unique tool that in itself is fun to play around with.

The objective of the Max project is:

• To reinvent and celebrate the 2D platformer
• To make a game that you can play with – not just play
• To utilize the drawing mechanic in an speedy action game
• To make a game that is for everyone

“I get this question so much, and honestly I’ll give you the blunt answer: we really want the game to be as good as possible on the Wii. We don’t have a second to think about other platforms. That ends up clouding your thinking and diluting the game experience. Boom Blox is a Wii game through and through. If we went on to another platform we’d have to significantly reconfigure and redesign the core mechanics, but currently we have no plans to do that.” – Senior Producer Amir Rahimi

This is quite different from what has been said by other EA employees in the past. I would be 100% satisfied to see Boom Blox remain as a Wii exclusive IP, though.
