High Voltage Software unveiled their latest gaming engine, Quantum3, which boasts the most advanced graphical capabilities on the Nintendo Wii.

High Voltage Software, a prominent video game developer, strives to change this trend by creating Nintendo Wii games that look like Xbox 360 or PS3 titles.
