THQ Will Develop for NGP

Over the weekend, THQ confirmed that it will be developing for the NGP. With the launch still a way off, the company hasn't announced any firm plans but looks to be putting some effort behind the new portable.

Still, having just undergone a big rebranding exercise, perhaps the new THQ will be a braver outfit with experimental games and new IP, you never know!
