Prince of Persia on Wii?

[bignds]

Ubisoft has shown a lot of love for Nintendo's next-gen wonder, could PoP Wii not be far behind?

Now this is to be taken with a pinch of salt, but it seems we may get a Prince of Persia title on the Wii after all. It’s a known fact that Ubisoft has declared its love for the console and had even promised Nintendo seven titles to coincide with the Wii’s launch that’ll include the highly anticipated Red Steel and Rayman: Raving Rabbids.

Now what Ubisoft America has failed to mention, is that a Prince of Persia title may find a place in one of those seven titles, if their French counterparts and website http://www.jeuxpo.com/afficher_news-3544.html are to be belived. Now the funny thing here is that Ubisoft America has no idea about any of this, and this is what one of their spokespersons had this to say, “We saw this too and Prince of Persia is not confirmed as either a Wii launch title or a title coming out in North America in March 2007 at this time.”

Truth? Fiction? Time will tell, but I doubt they’ll make a brand new PoP title for the Wii since they rounded off the trilogy pretty well with The Two Thrones.

Make what you want of it, and if anyone could decode french, that would be appreicated. But serious Prince of Persia on the Wii? Can you imagine it? Their famed free form fighting system, with the Wii cotroller? And what about using sands? And of course the innovative platforming, man i cant wait if this is true.

oh wow i hope this is true, i can wait to see how they can use wii for this game! the more i hear about wii the more i want one.

This is good news. So long as it isn't a port of previous games, this may very well turn out to be a nice addition to the Wii library.

Yeah man, I've heard very good things about the PoP games, but I've never played one of the recent ones.

Oh, and no, I'm just getting the Wii version. Don't see any reason to get the GC version, after I plug my wavebirds up to the Wii there will be absolutely no need for a GC at all.

How does that make anysense at all? Your last 2 lines. You can still play it on the Wii. Ah what ever.
