Wii U developers get Havok

Nintendo also strikes deal with Autodesk.

Nintendo has announced two deals at this year's GDC that will offer popular development tools to studios working on games for the Wii U.

The first agreement was made between Nintendo and Autodesk, and will give developers access to Gameware technology. The second deal was with Havok, which will give devs a chance to work with Havok Physics and Havok Animation.

Both sets of technology will be offered to studios who work on titles for the Wii U. Examples of games that have already used Havok middleware are The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Alan Wake. Autodesk has been used on titles such as the Assassin's Creed series.
