“We do whatever we can to make the two (360/PS3 and Wii versions) as similar as possible. The expectation is ‘that game on that platform’, even though we know objectively the platform is not the same. Whereas we’re able to create the same assets that can be used on PC, PS3 and 360, we actually have to do quite a bit of work on both the technology and assets for Wii. The investment is heavy to get it working on the Wii, but we’re committed to it as we were with Modern Warfare, World at War and Call of Duty 3. It’ll be our fourth Wii shooter. Is there another team that’s put out four Wii shooters? There probably is, but certainly not online. And look, we have a huge online fanbase and they’re playing it over and over. We obviously want to please that audience – the Wii has been great.” – Treyarch Studio Head Mark Lamia

“The Wii community is very vocal. People think that they’re just casual gamers and don’t go on forums, but they can be very opinionated.” – Community Manager Josh Olin

To be honest, I was actually doubting that Black Ops would come to Wii. I thought that Activision might decide to release Modern Warfare 2 on the system, or something strange like that! I’m really glad that we are getting the latest Call of Duty on Wii, and at the right time. It’s also great to hear that the developers are going to do the best they can to match the PS3/360 versions of the game.

Remember that awful-looking Sonic 4 level we told you about a few months ago? Apparently that stage, along with other gimmicks from Lost Labyrinth Act 2 have been removed from the consoles versions. Instead, SEGA has opted to only include such stages in the iPhone and iPad editions. It remains to be seen, however, if the special stages will take advantage of motion controls. Take this rumor with a grain of salt for now, but it would certainly make sense if it turns out to be true.

While the actual scan is new, it seems there are no new screenshots. I guess Nintendo is really saving this title for E3.

This information comes SEGA’s Naoya Tsurumi, who was featured on Nikkei…

– Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games was SEGA’s biggest IP last year
– SEGA hoped to sell 7 million copies of Mario and Sonic (currently at 6.53 million worldwide)
– Mario and Sonic sales lower than expected in North America
– Most of SEGA’s games didn’t meet expectations in North America, Tsurumi thinks this is because consumers purchased titles from other companies instead
– Regarding 3D gaming, 3DS: “I believe 3D will become a big wave. The Nintendo 3DS is a landmark hardware. We’d like to invest heavily in it.”
– SEGA interested in supporting 3D on consoles, but its success will depend on 3D televisions
– SEGA releasing 12-15 games this year
– Tsurumi wouldn’t say if there will be a Mario and Sonic title for the London Olympics
– SEGA will support downloadable games (VC-like titles and new games)
– On package and download sales: “Just so there’s no mistake, our core is in package games. This is an area that’s packed with high-end technology and knowhow. We cannot lose that strength. I don’t believe we can do away with that and focus on titles with simple technology.”
