Wii game developer was chosen to compete for $2 million

A London video game development company Big Blue Bubble which is developing a game tentatively called Hobby Shop for Nintendo's hot new Wii game console was chosen from about 70 submissions to compete for $2 million in financing as part of the new competition sponsored by Telefilm Canada.

The finalists were selection by an industry panel that included Ron Moravek, a vice-president for Electronic Arts Canada, a major game publisher.

"I am fast becoming a big Wii fan and Hobby Shop is something that leverages the strengths of this platform," said Moravek.

Hobby Shop isn't the first game developed by Big Blue Bubble, but it's the first it has developed for the Wii game system.
