THQ Bringing uDraw Tablet To 360 & PS3
Since late 2010 PS3 and 360 owners have been watching in envy as all the cool kids play with their uDraw GameTablets on the Wii. Nintendo’s exclusivity with THQ’s gaming tablet is about to end. The company announced today during an investor meeting that the stylus doodling action will arrive on Microsoft and Sony’s consoles towards the end of this year.
“THQ brought to market the uDraw GameTablet, a first-of-its-kind, innovative new gaming accessory, which hit retail store shelves worldwide in fiscal 2011, gaining instant popularity for its creativity and unique functionality,” reads the investor relations document. “Today the company announced plans to bring exclusively designed uDraw GameTablets to Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 platforms this holiday.”
We still have a few unanswered questions about this development. Will THQ port higher resolution versions of existing uDraw games, or start from scratch? Will the company remove the giant watermarks that ruin your drawings when you try to print them out? As the holiday release draws nearer, we expect that the answers will be made clear.
