Activision Publishing acquired Wii and DS developer Budcat Creations.

Budcat Creations, responsible for Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy for the Wii, Nacho Libre for the DS and involved in the development of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and Guitar Hero World Tour is, as of today, officially a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Publishing.

Mike Griffith, President and CEO of Activision Publishing said that "In addition to strengthening our development capabilities on the Nintendo platforms, this acquisition increases our Guitar Hero development resources as we continue to grow the franchise and expand our global leadership position in the music-based genre."

Maybe this means that Activision will strengthen their Nintendo support, considering Budcat Creations' experience with Wii and DS development. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
