Go, GoNintendo!

The other day, we posted up the official trailer for Vanquish, the next game from Mikami and Platinum Games. The trailer wasn't officially tied to any platform, leaving open discussing for all three current consoles. Some were hoping that the game would end up on Wii, but we have no evidence that that would happen. Well, maybe we have a little glimmer of hope now, thanks to the picture below.

The picture above was said to be on the Platinum Games Flickr account, but it has since vanished. Luckily, it was grabbed before the disappearance happened. As you can see in the circle, there is a Wiimote and sensor bar sitting at that one portion of the desk. Is this something left over from the MadWorld days, or is something else going on?

Keep in mind that this is all wild speculation at this time. The only reason I post it up is because of the Mistwalker situation. Remember when Mistwalker posted a studio picture that showed a Wii dev kit in the background of one shot, and then that portion of the picture was removed? Now we know of The Last Story, a Wii project from Mistwalker. Could lightning strike twice?

I guess anything is possible right now

I'm surprised that Wii-owners even remotely interested in this kind of games. Judging by very little I saw the game isn't particulary appealing. Is that only me? //Well, I didn't buy single M-rated title for Wii (except for NMH and regret I did it).

No. They wouldn't release a trailer for a game on Wii without giving the platform. That would just be mean. When the platform isn't mentioned, it's best to assume it's a HD multiplat.

As has been said, it worked with Mistwalker.

Doubt it. Parts of the trailer looked 360/PS3 level realtime. My guess is Platinum doing it ground up for 360, Sega will handle a PS3 port.

Mikami's other project though (survival horror game with Grasshopper Manufacture, published by EA Partners) was already confirmed to be getting a Wii version though.

 Ah ha, I was wondering about that EA game. I knew it was a Wii / PS3 / 360 multiplat, but I forgot it was a survival horror. Thus I sort of thought this was it and SEGA had just picked up publishing rights.

 But er yeah, I'm assuming that project with EA is canned now.

Hm...

If it is unique bring it on. I'm tired of shooters already, even cod.

they've done wii, DS and HD. why not do an all 3 console multiuplat

Thats a good point; and some say that lighting doesnt strike twice on the same spot. Lets hope it does. Although it does look interesting, I gotta hear more of this game.
