In the interview with Doghouse Boxing, EA Sports' Michael Blank, producer of the Fight Night series, was asked whether EA were considering a Fight Night for the Wii and its revolutionary control system. In response to this question, Blank commented: We’re talking about it right now. We’re contemplating and we definitely feel there are some exciting things we can do with the Fight Night franchise and the Wii. When you play Wii Boxing it is a very simple experience and I think that is what they designed it to be just to let you know that you can throw punches. With Fight Night we have an amazing simulation of Boxing and so we need to take those Wii controls and tailor it to what the Fight Night consumer might want to experience. We are looking at it right now and I am sure you will something some time in the future on the Wii. Certainly a good indication that Fight Night will indeed be released on the Wii some time in the future.

If they do, I want to see it play with two wiimotes instead of the wiimote and nunchuck.

From what I saw of COD3 on the Wii, I'm not interested in EAs port. It will look terrible, sure it will be great to play, but any ports coming from the PS3 or 360 to Wii are just going to look bad, Wii should stick with ground up games from Nintendo developers. Anyone who has seen FNR3 on 360 or PS3 scaled to 1080p and how it looks with the realistic sweat and muscles textures, lighting, viens, will hate the way it will look on the Wii.

I see Stromprophet's point to a degree. Stof is right though. EA has dedicated an entire Studio towards Wii development. Honestly its going to be a matter of whether EA's Wii centric studio takes the time to harness the Wii's hardware as well as develop immersive controls. Madden had the controls but it had a GC game engine as well. We'll just have to see. I mean if the enjoyment of games like Wii Sports is any indication, it may not matter if Wii titles continue to look like GC games in the near term at least.

I think this could look quite good on the Wii actually. Once you lose the 1080/720 modes, you save a lot of texture space. Sure the Wii will push less polys, but its only 2 characters to be rendered. I may yet eat my words, but I think this will surprise a lot of people with how good it will look. Smart move from EA really. I have never been a supporter of their software (from a total library of maybe 100 titles, I think I only have *1* EA title - and that was a ol'cheapo copy of Harry Potter years back). But after seeing the potential of Wii sports, Im definitely looking out for "deeper" Wii sports titles that are properly executed (esp. golf, boxing & bowling). I just hope they dont wimp out and remove too much blood/gore (i.e. kidify it).

It's very possible for it to look good. EA just has to try. And SSX Blur looks like gold to me...a good combination of great controls and pretty graphics. It wouldn't look as good as the other Fight Nights, but as long as it actually uses the Wii's capabilities...it should be fine. Controls have to be way better than Wii boxing...but I think they shouldn't have a problem with that.
