Gamasutra recently had a chance to speak with 2K Boston’s tech director, Chris Kline. Kline went on the record and stated that BioShock’s complexity is not preventing the game (or a similar experience) from coming to the Wii. “It seems like, on the Wii, there’s some education necessary for a large part of that demographic, in terms of, ‘Here’s why you should want to play this game, instead of Wii Fit.’ Every time I pick up a new game, I’m like, ‘Oh my god, they’ve changed the controller mappings again,’ and now I’ve got to, you know, reconfigure my head, just so I can start to enjoy this game. With something like the Wii, You just pick it up, and it’s natural. I don’t think there’s anything preventing the game complexity of BioShock from being on the Wii.”

Personally, I would love to see BioShock on the Wii. It’s truly one of the greatest games for the 360 and one of the best all-around titles this generation. Some sort of Wii version would be an excellent idea, although it’s all a matter of whether or not 2K games would think it would be profitable on the system.

“We have a lot of big plans for Mass Effect. Having a DS version would be an awesome way to keep interest alive and keep it going in addition to the next one.” – Miles Holmes, BioWare

I can’t comment on BioWare as far as handheld titles go since Sonic Chronicles has yet to be released, but it would be unbelievable if BioWare were to be able to transfer the Mass Effect experience from the 360 to the DS.

I’m going to try to make a goal on the site to post more videos. In some respects, funny videos can lighten up the mood on here and can be a nice break from the typical news and rumors.

“I can’t speak for Japan’s teams (I haven’t spoken with Takeuchi or Inafune about it), but at CEI, we are eagerly awaiting access to the SDK to see what it’s like to work with. We have a couple of projects we’re contemplating some sort of support if it makes sense as a supplimental control mechanism.” – Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

How about Spyborgs? We don’t really know how that game is turning around, since the game is going through an overhaul. Perhaps MotionPlus could help if the game needs something to detect subtle rotation.
