Let's get this train rolling.
Gamasutra
quote GamasutraThe full five-page interview can be found HERETalking to Gamasutra as part of a wide-ranging interview, 2K Boston tech director Chris Kline says there's no reason why the Wii can't have a complex game like BioShock -- provided newer audiences can be properly introduced to that brand of content.
Console audiences are diversifying, and when it comes to complex content on accessible consoles like Wii, he says, "I think there is an appetite out there; it's just a matter of finding the right way to bring it to them."
"It seems like, on the Wii, there's some education necessary for a large part of that demographic, in terms of, 'Here's why you should want to play this game, instead of Wii Fit.'"
And yet, Kline doesn't feel Wii Fit or others of Nintendo's user-friendly activity games "aren't real games." Even being himself a gamer, he says he sometimes finds that new controller mappings and constantly-evolving experiences sometimes pose a barrier to entry.
"Every time I pick up a new game, I'm like, 'Oh my god, they've changed the controller mappings again,' and now I've got to, you know, reconfigure my head, just so I can start to enjoy this game," Kline says.
But accessibility needn't limit complexity. "With something like the Wii, You just pick it up, and it's natural," he says.
"I don't think there's anything preventing the game complexity of BioShock from being on the Wii."

Meh. I don't like FPS, but still, I can tell the difference from games I don't like and games that are bad, and Bioshock was great, just not my cup of tea.
And it's always Akira to post the new game stuff

Of course there's nothing preventing it. The only thing they have to do is tone down the graphics and add IR control. Probably it's just the usual, "third party games don't sell on Wii unless they're mini-game collections."

Because, you know, they defiantly have already released Bioshock 2, and they defiantly confirmed a special ps3 only edition. In fact, I don't even think they put out bioshock 1 on the ps3.

But it's not on there yet. So I think they would wait before relecing some super pack for a console they ported to.
