Forums - Nintendo - Orange Box for the Wii?

Will we ever see the Orange Box come out for the Wii? None of the three games have graphics that are beyond the capabilities of the PC version I've seen my brother playing. The real question is, why not the wii too?

Does EA hate money?

half life 2 on the xbox looked pretty good so i see no reason why not.

Would love to play it with the wiimote, it would be fantastic!



call me Aaronbunny!

Wii code: 6993 4542 2457 6182. plz add me Im a wiily gd friend

No thank you.



Maybe they just don't want to put it on the Wii? Plus Team Fortress 2 is an online game and the Wii's online is... well... you know what I mean. The graphics aren't great, but they'd have to send a whole development team to Wii-ize it (controls, graphics, etc.).

On a side-note: Can this please be the last "Why isn't Game X on the Wii" thread? If a game isn't on the Wii, don't start a petition or whatever, the game isn't on the system, get over it.

Sorry, mummelman, you're going to have to share the games the Wii can handle sooner or later.

Why? They put it on the PS3, and I see no problem with Wii's online.

It's a simple question, not a rant. We know where your bias lies, please don't turn this into mudslinging because the Wii is threatening your comfort zone.



Also, why do you assume that if the game was on the Wii it'd make lots of money, moreso than it would to produce the game? It's kinda weird to say that a game will make money solely because it is coming out on the Wii, and that doesn't make that much sense. Why not play the PC version of the Orange box if your bro has it? Why do you need to have it on the Wii?

Wiimote FPS controls are more fun. Not as accurate as a mouse and keyboard. But a lot more immersive. More accurate than dual analog in any case as well. So if your main interest is fun I could see why you'd want it on the Wii.

Clearly you know where my bias lies? I have no bias. You are the one making a thread about why this game isn't on the Wii. So because I didn't agree with you, I'm biased against the Wii? OK, I enjoy your logic. And if you see no problems with the Wii's online, you must be blind. Your bias clearly lies with the Wii. I just tire of seeing "game X should be on the Wii" then everyone goes to say how great it will control on it, then say the graphics can be accomplished on the wii, etc. If EA wanted to make the game on the wii they would have, end of story. :)

What does EA have to do with the Orange Box? Other then the crappy PS3 port anyway. Valve's the one who didn't want to do it on the Wii.
