TimeSplitters 4

The latest installment of TimeSplitters 4 was designed for the Sony Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. It was not planned to be released for the Nintendo Wii because it lacks the power to run the game. However, in a recent article from Nintendo World Report, David Doak of Free Radical, the game’s developer, said that it may be released for the Wii after all. Nintendic.com quoted the interview with Doak which says:

Moving on to the topic of Wii development, Doak said, “I think it’s a good thing to do, and I think we want to put [TimeSplitters 4] on the Wii.” While the game is still without a publisher and remains in a preliminary stage of development, Doak seems convinced that the TimeSplitters style of gameplay can be adapted to the motion controls made possible by the Wii Remote. On the subject of developing games based around motion controls, Doak was critical of using too many gesture controls just for the sake of being ambitious. “It’s better to make a game that’s enjoyable to play than a game that’s got features that don’t work.”

I have not played any of the TimeSplitters games but I heard that they are very good for multi-player gaming so I think it would be great for Wii fans if this happens.
