Ubisoft considering Wii version of new PoP game

StarJet | May 04, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 3 
The new Prince of Persia game is coming out on several different platforms than the previous games. One big difference is that they've chosen the DS over the PSP unlike the last two games.
It seems Ubisoft is also considering bringing a different version of the game over to the Wii.
The recently announced new Prince of Persia title was announced for the Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS… but not the Nintendo Wii. And in a recent interview, while developer Ubisoft concedes that the currently-in-development Prince of Persia adventure will never arrive on the Nintendo Wii, the firm is seriously investigating bringing the franchise back to the little white box of tricks.

Speaking of Prince of Persia for the Nintendo DS and a possible return to the Nintendo Wii in future in the latest issue of Edge magazine, Ubisoft explained:

“It’s connected to the game in a very interesting way, but it’s not a port. A complementary experience, shall we say?” it explained.

“We ported Two Thrones to the Wii. It was a quick and dirty port, i can say. With that we saw a lot of potential. The controls were not fully optimised, did not take full advantage of the Wii, but a lot of people saw the POP universe could certainly have a home on Wii. Since then people have been looking into that, but there’s no formal announcement. We are investigating it very seriously. You would never see a port of the game we’re making however. That’ll never happen.”

So, it’s case of wait and see for that one.

    I'd like to see this happen. Would make for an interesting way to play the game. And wouldn't look out of place either with Force Unleashed coming out soon also.

    Hope it wouldn't drag down the other versions much.
