Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Civilization on the Wii has halted as we know it DS still on track

MaxwellGT2000 on 29 January 2008

My 2 cents:
As the title says Civilzation has been stalled to give them more manpower to develop the DS, 360, and PS3 versions of the new Civilization Revolution game coming to consoles April 1st 08. I like the Civilization series and hope this one will be just as good and will be a good game for"casuals" as well as the "hardcore"

Article:
Many months ago publisher 2K Games and developer Firaxis jointly announced that a Wii build of Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution was underway alongside Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS incarnations. However, 2K Games confirmed to IGN Wii today that the Wii iteration of the real-time strategy game has been put on indefinite hold.

"Development for the Wii version of Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution is currently on hold," a spokesperson for 2K Games said. "We are focusing our attention on creating the best possible Civilization experience for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS platforms."

Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution offers players a chance to experience the epic empire-building world of Civilization in an all new accessible, visually immersive, and action-packed world specifically designed for the console and handheld gamer. There are 16 civilizations to master and lead to victory, with an array of famous historical leaders to play as or compete against, and accessible maps and streamlined time scale for quicker games, intense combat, and constant action.

In happier news, the DS build of the game is still very much underway. In fact, IGN readers can check out our exclusive interview with the developer and first DS screenshots on our DS-loving sister site right now.

When it was announced, it was stated that the wii version would be behind. 360/PS3 were due in spring, and wii in fall.  They wanted to focus on the best possible experience for the wii version after the others were complete.

Are we sure this is new news? I can't find any evidence on the official website of any delays. I think this is how they planned it originally, and people are just jumping to conclusions...

If I am wrong.... all I can say is it's their loss... The wii is the best console for this game.

@jlauro
It's official from 2k Games, the fall release date was more of a placeholder but officially it was TBD, and yes for them to take longer is their loss cause the Wii seems a perfect fit for PC type game.

OMG its the END OF THE WII!!!!!!!1

At least that is what people say when stuff like this happens to the PS3.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

More companies know just how to screw Wii owners and they still do not care about it at all
