Frank Wilson, co-founder and CTO of Twisted Pixel, said his studio's library of recent downloadable titles could potentially see life on other platforms. Just yesterday, Twisted Pixel unleashed the XBLA title 'Splosion Man, blasting the humorous hero and Xbox owners into Microsoft's Summer of Arcade promotion. In an interview with Endsights, Wilson said the small developer is not tied to any specific platform and the studio would consider a PlayStation Network and WiiWare release of 'Splosion Man and the studio's adorable adventure title, The Maw, if it "found the right arrangement."
So, other platforms could be in the cards, but Twisted Pixel is happy with what it's been able to achieve on the Xbox platform, so far. "We're getting pretty skilled with the Xbox 360, so it's definitely easiest for us to stick with it," Wilson said. Wilson's words aren't confirmation that either title will see life on other platforms, but at least we've cleared the air of any existing Microsoft money-hats.

cool a ps3 version would be nice. I want to play this but I don't really feel like spending the money for an xbox for a couple of games. is this game on PC? Braid made it to the PC right? I still have to check that out.

As much as I want it on WiiWare (Wii being my only this gen console), I can't see how they're going to import it to WiiWare..

I'm considering getting it for 360, but I'd rather get a PS3 version. I hope Braid is still coming out, and I thought I heard someone say Shadow Complex would be on PS3, too. I hope so, I'd definitely buy SC anyway, but PS3 would suit me better.

The graphics would have to be compressed quite a bit to get either of them down to WiiWare sized (40mb).

Hope it happens, this game is really amazing. Really wish we'd see more old school games like this developed for XBLA/PSN.

Come on Wilson! Bring it to PSN! You will find out the easy way that Sony will support your title with, well, uh, support 'n stuff.
Just do it!

"found the right arrangement." - aka after the timed exclusive deal.

Splosion Man and Shadow Complex are the two 360 exclusives I'm looking forward to the most (yes, much more so than Alan Wake and such). So I feel bad for the 360, but at the same time, I love to see games spread to multiple platforms.

At $15 for an exploding version of wall jumping? No thanks!

It is only $15 points, and it is really fantastic game. Just skipping it because you think it is just a basic wall jumping game is pretty ignorant.

I would totally buy this if it came to WiiWare. Too bad it won't be downloadable for PSP...
