New CodeWarrior(R) Technology from Freescale Named Official Toolset for Nintendo's Wii(TM) Console; Freescale Helps Game Develo

Nintendo and Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE:FSL)
(NYSE:FSL.B) have collaborated to provide reliable, flexible and
cost-efficient development tools for the new Wii console.
   Nintendo has entrusted Freescale and its new CodeWarrior(R)
Radix(TM) Studio as the official toolset for the Wii console. Nintendo
is now shipping development kits bundled with the CodeWarrior
technology to help developers speed the creation of compelling content
for its new platform.
   "Freescale's CodeWarrior technology has earned a worldwide
reputation for offering high-quality development tools," said Genyo
Takeda, senior managing director and general manager, Integrated
Research & Development Division for Nintendo Co., Ltd. "The tools
selected for Wii are no exception, and will allow game developers to
create exciting titles that take advantage of the unique features
found in our new platform."
   The CodeWarrior tools for the Wii console are powered by
Freescale's Radix technology. Introduced at the 2006 Game Developers
Conference in March, Radix is a lightweight C++ framework with
flexible, modular architecture designed for maximum extensibility. The
framework offers:

   --  Editing, debugging and code browsing capabilities

   --  An XML-based project system

   --  A scriptable workflow that allows studios to quickly and
        easily integrate pre-existing workflow applications

   --  An advanced user interface that runs natively on Windows

   --  Multi-monitor support

   --  Hot-swappable plug-ins

   The toolkit also ships with a stable, high-performance PowerPC(R)
compiler.
   "Wii is an innovative platform that will push gameplay into new
realms," said Roger Edgar, manager, Game Technology Organization for
Freescale Semiconductor. "CodeWarrior Radix Studio for the Wii console
is a highly extensible development platform that helps developers
fully leverage the innovation of Nintendo's newest console."
   Wii, Nintendo's upcoming console, will feature a controller
designed to be used with either one hand or two -- a first in the
video game industry. Users can manipulate action on their television
screens through the precise, life-like motion of the innovative Wii
Remote controller.
