Forums - Nintendo - Drawn to Life getting a Wii port

THQ president and CEO Brian Farrell dropped word today, via quarterly earnings conference call, that Nintendo DS platformer Drawn To Life—which I was bit "meh" on— would be coming to the Wii. Farrell didn't specify a port or a sequel, instead saying that the publisher planned to "extend the brand to the Wii." The 5TH Cell developed DS game appears to have been a hit for THQ, with execs boasting of hundreds of thousands of copies sold worldwide. Drawn To Life also appears to have boosted the publisher's DS take, up some 94% over the previous year. Here's to hoping the team can duplicate the success with a Wii-mote.

 

Zenfoldor says: Haters wanna hate, lovers wanna love, Nintendo 3rd party is all of the above, it's gonna piss on you. Also, more Kotaku wii hate.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

Drawn to Life was nothing really special as a platformer, but the fact you get to draw your own character and play as the character was pretty cool.

Hopefully they expand the gameplay a little bit and add in more content for the Wii. It will never be confused with an A title, but it won't be shovelware.

now... I need to practice my drawing ability. lol

A title, maybe, AAA, no way. Still, increasing 3rd party support ftw.

Oh man, the natural tremors in my hand due to carpals tunnel is really going to show in this game haha.

Graffiti Kingdom (and Magic Pengel before it) already did this on PS2; I wonder how the drawing engine will compare to those games.



Hates Nomura.

I doubt it, I wouldn't give Drawn to life a 7. It's passable and very forgetable. Have you played it? the game feels awkward and too easy.

Still, no shovelware, FTW!

We should hold off until we actually know something about what the Wii version will be like. I highly doubt it will be a port though. If the IP works for them, it would make way more sense to try and flesh it out into both console and handheld franchises.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

What will be the first Mii platformer? Guaranteed million seller!
