THQ’s American boss Kelly Flock has said he’s “aggressively” looking for new Wii games and ideas, thanks to the amazingly cheap nature of Wii development.

“Wii is a godsend” Flock told industry mag MCV, adding that Wii games can be churned out (loving crafted) in 12 months, compared to a two to three year slog of PS360 development.

And according to Flock, Wii games cost as little as $1.5 million to cobble together (carefully create) - compared to the $10-12 million THQ spends on its PS3 and Xbox 360 titles.

THQ’s got movie license Ratatouille coming out on Wii this summer - followed by party painting game de Blob (pictured).
Then about five games a month forever.
