A Wii version of upcoming driving game Racedriver: GRID is a distinct possibility, Codemasters has revealed.
Speaking in an interview with VideoGamer.com, chief games designer Ralph Fulton revealed that if Codemasters finds a team capable of emulating the DS version of the game, Wii owners “can expect to see a version in the future”.
When asked why GRID, which is planned for release on Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Nintendo DS this summer, won’t be coming out on the Wii, Fulton replied: “We develop the “next gen” (is it still called that?) versions internally while the DS version is developed by a separate team, mainly because the demands of the DS are so different from a design point of view.
“The same is true of Wii; you can’t just port a game to it – it has to be designed specifically for the console from the ground up. We’re lucky that we have an external team developing GRID DS who understand what we want to achieve from the game and can translate that to the DS. If we find a team who can do the same with a Wii version then you can expect to see a version in the future.”
So Wii owners, there’s hope yet. Fingers crossed Codemasters finds a developer willing to take on the challenge.
