One of the main features hyped for this port was the ability to utilise the Gizmondo's Bluetooth functionality, thus harnessing the game's massive multiplayer potential. Team 17's Commercial Director Debbie Bestwick claimed that the wireless multiplayer would be an exciting addition to a "perfect extension to the Worms franchise". Meanwhile, Gizmondo Europe's Managing Director Carl Freer justified the need for a Worms game by pointing to the series' overall sales of over 8 million by 2005, and claimed that the Bluetooth multiplayer functionality should offer a new experience for Gizmondo players.[6]
