First dual console indie developer interviewed
In their podcast this morning, VGM Daily had the first portion of there interview with Shayne Guiliano of Autonomous Productions. The first part didn't get into too much, but did reveal that he has be given permission to develop and release a game on both XBLA and Nintendo's Virtual Console. The game he is developing is titled "Butterfly Garden" and looks like it will be released on both consoles. It strikes me as odd, but I would have thought that Nintendo would have avoided having the same game on both as the XBLA version will have Achievement Points and HD graphics where as the Wii version will not. Since it sounds like the game is still in early development (and were talking about a very, very small team), don't expect this game to show up any time soon. You can check out the podcast here, and make sure to check back throughout the week as they publish more parts of the interview.

ah thanks
I only listened to the interview at the end :)
Major Nelson mentioned he'd try get a XBLA person on the next podcast. Hopefully they can shed some light on Texas Hold'em and SFII. The June release schedule for 360 retail is sparse, so hopefully live arcade can tide us over.
[...] Both Gaming Bits and Xboxic have posted a list of most of the known upcoming games. All of the titles have been announced in one place or another before (the latest list coming from the September OXM), and it’s missing a couple of minor or untitled games ( Butterfly Garden, the next NinjaBee game codenamed SWAT, and Jeff Minter’s upcoming title ), it’s still a good list.
