Pure Chess dev: Wii U is “quite a beast of a machine”

VooFoo Studios, developer of Pure Chess, has high praise for the Wii U hardware.

Speaking with ONM, technology director Mark Williams said Nintendo’s console is “quite a beast of a machine”. He added that it’s “very capable of throwing around some pretty impressive visuals.”

Regarding the decision to bring Pure Chess to Wii U, Williams stated:

“Wii U really seemed to be an ideal platform to bring Pure Chess to – it’s quite a beast of a machine so is very capable of throwing around some pretty impressive visuals. Also, there was no chess game available on Wii U already, let alone one that looked quite as stunning as this. This, combined with Nintendo’s desire to get a chess game onto the platform, meant that it was really a no brainer.”
