I think its highlely unlikely as well, the Wii just doesn't have the processing/GPU power to make the game look like the developers want it to look.


I believe there is a Wii port of the UT3 engine. If that's true, porting Bioshock over would be reasonably easy. You'd have to decrease textures, of course, and also geometric complexity, but aside from some of those things the core game could still be ported over at a fraction of the cost of developing from scratch.


Does anyone else love it when someone tries to sound smart by pretending they know what they're talking about and really just end up looking like an idiot?

Bioshock wouldn't be bad on the Wii simply because it's a good game that doesn't depend on its graphics to carry it. The graphics are fantastic, but the game is still great graphics or not. I played it on my PC with the settings turned down as an experiment to see if I enjoyed it without the special effects. You know what? I loved it just the same. Without certain lighting and shading the specs for that game aren't all that high. On the DS they would have to re invent the game from scratch. Use the same elements, but lay it out completly different. I don't think its going to happen, but I couldn't say I would rule it out.



To get more technical, there is only so much the Wii can do processing wise (as can any system). Just because an engine has been ported over doesn't mean its going to offer anything above what the machine would be able to do anyway.

The Wii will never see a game like Bioshock (visuals wise) ever on the system. Its just how it is. Now a game like Galaxy shows you can have good visuals, but of a different nature, but porting Bioshock over to the Wii isn't nearly as simple as downgrading some textures and what not.
