Brothers in Arms FPS might come to Wii
Gearbox is currently underway with the next installment in the Brothers in Arms series, Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway. The title has been officially announced for Xbox 360 and PS3. However, an allegedly leaked Ubisoft release calendar that hit the Web several months ago also listed an unnamed Brothers in Arms title for Nintendo Wii.
Couple that with the following announcement from today that “Gearbox Software is enthusiastically supporting the Wii,” said company president Randy Pitchford. The company head had no comment on what Wii projects it could be working on, saying only that, “At this time, we don’t have any announcements to make about specific games we may be developing for Wii.”
Asked what he thought of Nintendo’s new console, Pitchford responded: “I think it’s great. I’m very much looking forward to playing.”
According to Pitchford, Wii has immediate strengths and weaknesses. “The strengths of the Nintendo Wii include the price, the unique interface, the sure-bet library of games based on the great Nintendo properties and the promise back catalogue of classic games from Nintendo and others that they have partnered with,” he said.
“The weaknesses of the system include its lower relative power when compared to other next-gen consoles and the unique interface requiring more dedicated focus specifically for the platform (which makes it more difficult to amortize larger AAA budgets across more customers from multiple platforms).”
It looks like despite the above mentioned disadventage in horse power, the Wii’s unique controls are especially paying off for bringing FPS games over to the Wii. Via IGN
