“If we felt like we could deliver the cinematic experience we were going for on other platforms, then we would gladly move to that platform. Right now, we don’t think the Wii can deliver the exact experience that we’re doing. We like to be very equal across all platforms, and if it’s not equal then we won’t do it.” – Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling
Obviously, Infinity Ward will not be able to provide Wii owners with the same experience as the PS3/360 as far as graphics are concerned. However, I don’t believe that it’s extremely difficult to bring a similar overall experience to the Wii.

I love posts like these, I really do.
I’m sure most of you have heard by now, but acclaimed Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto has purchased a cat. In the past, Miyamoto has expressed his interest in caring for cats and things of that nature, so it’s only natural that he’d buy one eventually. For those new to the Nintendo scene, often times when he talks of his hobbies and interests, Miyamoto reveals insight on upcoming games and hardware from Nintendo. For instance, soon after expressing his love for dogs, Nintendo announced Nintendogs, and before Pikmin was announced, he had discussed how he imagined little things living in the dirt while he was gardening. Does this mean that Nintencats is coming, or that Link will ride a giant cat in the next Legend of Zelda? Of course not, but don’t be surprised if this isn’t the last you hear of Myamoto’s feline friends.
After the smashing success of Dragon Quest IX in Japan (selling over 3m copies within the first couple of weeks), it’s no surprise that both Square Enix and Nintendo want the game to fare just as well overseas. Because of this, Nintendo has announced plans to work with Square Enix on the marketing for the game in North America and Europe. This may prove difficult however, as Dragon Quest games have not sold so well in the past overseas. Hopefully things will change this time around, because IX looks to be one of the better entries to the series!
In addition, Miyamoto expressed interest in the “Passerby Mode” from Dragon Quest, stating that he would be interested in creating a game around that feature for people to play outside of the house.
