PSN, WiiWare: GameLoft To Bring UNO To Everything Under The Sun
UNO, to this day, is still one of the most popular Xbox Live Arcade titles being bought today. Microsoft also intend to bring Uno Rush to XBLA sometime this year.
Meanwhile Gameloft, phone game extroadinare and the people who brought us Brain Challenge to all platforms and Block Breaker Deluxe and other titles for WiiWare will now be bringing UNO to everything else - PlayStation Network, WiiWare, DSiWare and as a downloadable PlayStation Portable title.
Described in the press release:
"This agreement is the first step towards a long and successful relationship between Mattel, one of the world's premier toy companies and Gameloft, the global leader in video game development," said Michel Guillemot, president, Gameloft. "UNO is one of the most recognized card games in the world and we are excited to extend it beyond mobile and onto a whole host of console executions."
It's great to see that UNO will be reaching even more people this year for quick and easy online games. Gameloft have previously released the iPhone and iPod version of UNO (pictured above) so I'll assume that it'll be somewhat similar to that. You can't screw up UNO at any rate anyhow.
