June already? wow that's fast, it will be released a year ahead of FFXIII.

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

sounds pretty good to me.

@twestern - video game companies not named Nintendo tend to hype their games pretty far in advance.

Yeah, this is definitely NOT a port.

It might be worth looking into. The point and click is what's needed for RTS games. Pikmin was difficulty to control as a gamecube game.

Like the idea of it coming to Wii, I've been wanting a good strategy game on Wii since it came out, and to have it look as good as the 360 game will be a plus. Good going codemasters ;)

From the screens I've seen of Overlord, I'm not surprised that the Wii can pull off similar graphics. Codemasters basically admitted that they are using most of the Wii's potential (which is not hard to do since it has an architecture similar to the Gamecube), but when you look at Overlord on the 360, it's pretty obvious they weren't trying to take full advantage of the system. But the Wii controls are exciting and I might purchase this as it flies under my radar.
