“There is not gonna be a Terminator Salvation for Nintendo Wii. I’m sorry the press release wasn’t clear about that. We actually explored the possibility to develop the game on Wii and PS2 but then we dropped the idea and concentrate on the next-gen consoles and PC.” – Vice President of Halcyon Games, Cos Lazouras

I was never expecting Terminator Salvation to end up on the Wii. It is a shame, however, that a Wii version was never developed, especially since the idea was considered.
