Back in May, Bethesda Europe managing director Sean Brennan teased that the company would be making a “really big” mature Wii announcement this year. But we actually already know what that title is. A few weeks ago, Bethesda Europe revealed Wheelspin. And even though the game may be of high quality, I’m a bit disappointed to say that Wheelspin is Bethesda’s big surprise for Wii.

“[Sean] was referring to the Wheelspin Wii game Bethesda is publishing in Europe (only) and that is being shown in our booth at GamesCom this week.” – Bethesda VP Pete Hines

There’s no hiding the fact that Activision is bringing a two year old Call of Duty game to Wii. However, there is apparently still a chance that Modern Warfare 2 could hit Nintendo’s console. Speaking at GamesCom, Activision stated that, if there are positive sales for Call of Duty 4, then a Wii version of Modern Warfare 2 may happen.

You may remember that Activision’s last Call of Duty game (World at War), started off slow in the market but has picked up since then and has gone on to sell rather well. The only question is, will Wii owners have to wait until November 2011 to play Modern Warfare 2 if Call of Duty 4 performs decently?

We already know about a few of the changes in Metroid Prime 1/2 for Metroid Prime Trilogy, but the developers of the series provided a full rundown in a recent developer’s voice interview.

“Just a tremendous upgrade as far as the fluidity of the controls, the HUD’s a little bit different,
the reticule is different as it relates to how you target your enemies now, lock-on’s a little bit different.” – Michael Kelbaugh, Executive Producer/President & CEO

“The biggest impact is that player’s see more of the art and intricate design that we put into the levels.” – Mike Wikan, Senior Designer

“We’ve gone in and surgically repaired textures with higher resolution versions.” – Mike Wikan, Senior Designer

“There were some parts where it was a bit slow…” – Risa Tabata, Assistant Producer

“…And where before you would have to wait for doors to open, the wait time is a lot shorter.” – Kensuke Tanabe, Producer

“We looked at a few of the bosses and made small refinements to those encounters.” – Mike Wikan, Senior Designer
