Though the first Beyond Good & Evil title saw a GameCube release, the sequel’s status on the Wii is unknown. Rumors have circulated that Beyond Good & Evil 2 would make it to the system, but nothing has been confirmed outright. However, there is some encouraging news. Michel Ancel, speaking about which platforms the game could release on, wasn’t ready to rule out a Wii version.

“We are not sure [which platforms the game will release for]. We are on a next-gen format but we can’t say if it will be one or two. [Technical aspirations don’t] eliminate adaptations or particular versions [about Wii].”

There’s also another interesting tidbit from Mr. Ancel concerning inspiration for the original game.

“There were a lot of inspirations: the Miyazaki universe, my own inspirations, politics and the media; the theme of September 11 – the CNN show with army messages and the fear climate. And it was a mix from other universes. It’s different from Zelda and other titles like that; very good games but they are out of time. [Beyond Good & Evil] was issued of the actuality.”

Discover the Caverns in the WiiTM version and then travel to the Forest on the Nintendo DSTM

Leicester, April 3rd – After exploring the lush Grasslands of Planet Roo, Wii™ players plunge into the dark and creepy Caverns. The beautiful butterflies have been replaced by nimble bats that also share the same fondness for stealing Meteor shapes, so keep an eye out for them.

Roo-cuz tells players about new meteor shapes that fall at faster rates, and teaches them how to drill through obstacles that stop meteors from reaching their destination. The distance between platforms has shrunk for some levels, so players should be careful to align the rapidly descending meteors and have their nets ready to catch stray meteors as well.
