Wii chooses Dolby Laboratories for their Sound

Following the Nintendo's attempts of appealing to a wider gaming audience, it has decided to go with a well-known audio company that can produce immersive surround sound.

"The Wii™ console will break down the walls that separate gamers from everyone else. Sound is a key part of this equation and because Wii supports Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound technology, we think everyone can have a great audio experience."--Koji Kondo, Manager, Sound Group, Entertainment Analysis and Development Division, Nintendo Co., Ltd.

"Dolby Pro Logic II technology ensures that the Wii console can offer rich, immersive surround sound, which is essential to a great gaming experience. We're looking forward to hearing how great Nintendo's games sound at launch." --John Griffin, Marketing Director, Games, Dolby Laboratories.
