3D engine developer Stonetrip announced that it has received certification from Nintendo to offer its cross-platform 3D development engine, ShiVa 3D, to licensed Wii developers.

ShiVa is the developers’ tool of choice for easily creating amazing 3D real-time applications and games for Wii, Windows, Mac OS, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android. It is a powerful development platform for creators of 3D real-time applications and games that enables creators to quickly bring high-quality content to market. ShiVa has a strong support team behind it that is responsive, creative and experienced in game development on all platforms. The company continues to add additional support for new and emerging platforms under a single license strategy and extends ShiVa’s functionality to continue to meet the needs of developers.
