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.

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.

In case you haven’t heard, Brett Favre has been traded to the Jets. Unfortunately for EA, the company put art of Favre in his Green Bay Packers jersey on the cover of Madden NFL 09. The company is taking action, however, and is planning for both a roster update and a new downloadable box art which features Favre in his Jets uniform.

**Madden NFL 09 will hit stores on Aug 12 with Brett Favre on the cover in his Green Bay Packers uniform.

**We do not plan to re-issue packaging, but WILL offer a free downloadable cover in the coming days on easports.com featuring Brett Favre in a Jets uniform. Fans can print this new cover out and insert it into the case of Madden NFL 09.

**We’ll have a roster update available on August 11 with Brett Favre on the NY Jets. The game ships with Brett on an all-time greats team, but with the roster update that will be downloadable when product is available at retail, Brett Favre will be the starting QB for the New York Jets. The roster update is not mandatory – unless you are planning an online head to head game, or online league.
