Emergent has been hard at work bringing their Gamebryo engine to the Wii. The Gamebryo engine has already been used on the Xbox 360 and PS3 on games like Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Now, Wii developers will have the Gamebryo engine at their hands to help ease development.

The Gamebryo engine boasts outstanding, reliable performance, and includes all the rendering, animation, and special effects features needed to create any game.

It’ll be the first time that Emergent’s Gamebryo engine will be moving beyond the more powerful PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms, as Emergent joins Nintendo’s Third Party Tools Program.

A heavily modified version of the Gamebryo engine is used for Bethesda Softworks’ Oblivion as well as the upcoming Fallout 3.

Emergent CEO Geoffrey Selzer said in a statement that the Gamebryo could help developers who were “caught off guard” with the Wii’s success quickly jump on the Nintendo development bandwagon.
