Representatives of TransGaming have announced that the company has opened an internal game development studio, and have partnered with Foreign Media Games on the development of a game for Nintendo’s Wii.

The Canadian studio, which is known primarily for porting games to the Macintosh and iPhone, has begun developing its first original game, titled Armin van Buuren - In the Mix. The game, developed in partnership with Foreign Media Games, will be a DJ simulator based on the career and output of performer Armin van Buuren.

“It’s an absolute thrill for our first game to be a new global franchise based on the top DJ in the world, Armin Van Buuren,” said TransGaming CEO and president Vikas Gupta. “We are confident that Armin van Buuren – In the Mix will propel the highly popular music gaming genre to new heights with its innovative game play experience that embodies the creativity, energy and artistry of the ultimate DJ.”
