Price of Persia on Wii not out of the question
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
The game ships on PS3, 360 and PC later this year, but a complementary DS title is also in the works. ‘It’s connected to the game in a very interesting way, but it’s not a port. A complementary experience, shall we say?’ And the prospect of a Wii Version? ‘We ported Two Thrones to the Wii. It was a quick and dirty port, i can say. With that we saw a lot of potential. The controls were not fully optimised, did not take full advantage of the Wii, but a lot of people saw the POP universe could certainly have a home on Wii. Since then people have been looking into that, but there’s no formal announcement. We are investigating it very seriously. You would never see a port of the game we’re making however. That’ll never, never happen.’ – Ben Mattes, Ubisoft

It wasn’t a good sign that some of the most important staff members were leaving Retro, but this should be an indication that the company will remain intact.

ESRB rates Earthbound
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
In this month’s issue of Nintendo Power, it became clear that people want to see Earthbound on the Virtual Console. Perhaps we’re one step closer to seeing this happen, as the ESRB has rated the game. At this point however, I would be cautiously optimistic, as previous games that have been rated on the ESRB have yet to see a release.

Lost in Blue officially coming to the Wii
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 403 Comments
Lost in Blue, which has seen plenty of iterations on the Nintendo DS, is finally migrating to Nintendo’s newest console. Confirmed by a Konami website, Lost in Blue on the Wii will apparently allow another player to join in on the surviving fun – a fresh concept to the series – though the specifics of two-player action are unknown. Other information including a release date is also up in the air, but as always, it is expected that new details will be available shortly.
