Just don't expect them anytime soon.
Wii owners shouldn't be expecting Half-Life 2 on their favorite console anytime soon. But if HL2 developer Valve does begin a Wii project, expect something geared a little more toward the kiddies.
Speaking with Computer and Video Games, Valve's Doug Lombardi said that quite a few parents on the Valve team would love to make a game for kids. "We all play the Wii a lot and we think that the proper way for Valve to approach the Wii would be to make something cool designed specifically for it," Lombardi said.
Valve has been traditionally known for popular first-person shooters such Half-Life and Team Fortress 2, but have also shown the ability to feature much smaller, more unique guns with their recent breakout hit Portal.
In addition to potential Wii development, Lombardi said that co-founder and managing director Gabe Newell would also like to develop an MMORPG, but considers it a big risk. "I think at some point you'll see us move a little further out of our comfort zone than Portal was," Lombardi said. "But it's not going to be this year or next."
Whatever project Valve decides to take on next, expect it to be met with much fanfare considering their recent success.
