Activision has confirmed that it is to double its support for Nintendo’s DS and Wii platforms in its next financial year, confirming that leading franchises will be heading to DS and Wii, including Spider-Man, Shrek, Transformers, and Guitar Hero.
The news comes directly from an Activision conference call in which Activision President, Mike Griffith, also tantalisingly stated that Guitar Hero will be making its way to the Wii:
The news comes on the same day as the company announced an 84% year-on-year rise in income for its financial third-quarter. Net revenues, however, were only up one per cent year-on-year to $822.8-million (compared to $816.2-million for the same period the previous year).

The key difference in our strategy versus the prior cycle, is that in addition to full support on Sony and Microsoft platforms, we will aggressively target the Nintendo platforms consistent with our multi-platform strategy and Nintendo’s expected growth. In fiscal 2008, we will double our offerings on the DS and the Wii, including Spider-Man, Shrek, Transformers, and Guitar Hero.
