Scarface says hello to my little friend the Wii

It’s always a good time for a Tony Montana quote. After making the PS2, Xbox & PC unsafe, Scarface: The World Is Yours will be coming to Nintendo Wii in 2007. Below are some quotes from NGamer Issue 7, which on the cover asks “Is this the closest thing to Grand Theft Auto on Wii?” Well, at VGB we’ve got our fingers crossed Rockstar will port that nifty GTA Trilogy to Wii. Anyway, a big shout-out to Editor Mark Green… or should I say Dark Mark who gave me fond memories of the N64/NGC Magazine days. Quotes:

“Shooting – a key part in most missions – is mapped on to the remote pointer, with players able to direct the aiming reticule around the screen, leaving a trail of Miami dead in its path. Moving your hand to direct Tony’s gun while your body remains still captures Montana’s steadfast mentality perfectly, that stubborn determination to stand his ground – an anchor with an AK.”

“The famous filmic image is of Tony standing in his office doorway, legs wide open, determinedly bolted to the floor with his ‘little friend’ the M16 held firmly in his hands. On the Wii, players will be able to adopt this pose, spraying bullets as one with Montana – gaming and filmic iconography merged into one.”

“And what would Scarface be without that very implement that left said face scarred in the first place? If Resident Evil 4’s bag-wearing chainsaw jugglers got your gore-loving synapses firing, wait until you rev Scarface’s flesh munching baby into action. Chainsaw waving is directed with the remote, lopping heads clean off with a high swipe, or using more choppy motions to re-enact everyone’s favourite Monty Python and the Holy Grail Black Knight arm-putation moment. To add a cherry to the viscera flavoured cake, the remote speaker will even growl like a saw so as not to bring you out of the moment. Lovely.”
