It could be done...Portal would work fine on the Wii...better than HL2 or TF2 for sure, as it's a fairly simple game. As long as there's no framerate problems as you whoosh through portals, it could work well.

They could make an additional 20 or so puzzles and sell it for $30, and I'm sure it would do alright.

Yea a framerate issue when going through a portal would suck and destroy timing needed in the game. The game would fit but if they put HL2 on it Nintendo would get complaints like they did about the Zapper.


 If RE4 wasn't a problem I don't see why HL2 would be.

This idea that the Wii can't have violent games because its user base doesn't like them or won't buy them is completely unfounded.

So what?  Those mothers didn't stop RE4 from coming to the Wii, or Red Steel, or RE:UC, or Far Cry, or any number of other games.  HL2 is actually less violent than those games.  And they got complaints about the Zapper, but guess what, the Zapper is still being released, and they didn't change any plans in regard to the complaints.

Portal runs very well at 1280x1024 on my old and busted 6600 GT, I'm sure the Wii can handle running it at a quarter of that resolution without issues.

I talked to Valve's marketing guy and he said not right now, but it was an interesting idea ...
