GameStop: No free-roaming in Wii/3DS/DS versions of The Amazing Spider-Man

There won’t be any free-roaming gameplay in the Wii, 3DS, and DS versions of The Amazing Spider-Man. That’s according to GameStop, which says that the feature will only be included in the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions.

Activision hasn’t actually shared any official information about The Amazing Spider-Man on Nintendo platforms specifically. But if GameStop’s message holds true, it doesn’t sound like there will be an open world to explore.

That’d be a bewildering decision given the fact that Spider-Man 2 featured an open world on the GameCube. The Amazing Spider-Man is an entirely different game of course, but we were expecting the Wii and 3DS versions to be somewhat comparable to Beenox’s efforts on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The DS edition, on the other hand, could end up as a 2D experience much like Echoes of Time.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
