OK! So I have been looking for a reason to get back to TVs again and now I found it! Samsung just announced that Angry Birds will be available globally on all their new Smart TVs. It is not only that, this will make it the first TV to offer the world’s most popular game and set a new standard in the industry by offering a game for Smart TVs controlled by hand gestures!! I mean this is the Wii without the Wii and its Angry Birds.
I’m assuming here that everyone knows what Angry Birds is. If you do not, then you’re either living under a rock or just got out of a 10 year sentence in prison. Actually I think guys in prison play it too. Anyway, Angry Birds is one of the top smartphone apps worldwide developed by Rovio Entertainment, a Finnish entertainment media company. Since its launch in November 2009, Angry Birds has been downloaded more than one billion times, across multiple platforms and all versions of the game.
Utilizing Samsung’s Motion Control technology, users can now play Angry Birds on the large TV screen for the first time ever, and enjoy a maximized, immersive and interactive gaming experience. With just the wave of the hand, fans can control gameplay features including initiating the slingshot and activating the unique skills of each bird.
The first Smart TV game developed to work with Motion Control, Samsung has worked closely with Rovio over the past year to apply its advanced technology to the Angry Birds app for Samsung Smart TVs. Launching worldwide this month, the Angry Birds App for Samsung Smart TV will be available on Samsung 2012 Smart Interaction enabled models by updating the latest firmware.
So yeah, Angry Birds on Phone Check, on iPad Check, on Browser Check, on TV CHECK!!
