Speaking to VideoGamer.com at an EA Games label event in London recently, Pandemic's Cory Lewis said that porting it over to Nintendo's motion sensing console "feels wrong".

"I think the Wii would be a tough fit for that product," Lewis told VideoGamer.com. 'Not to say it won't ever happen. But just porting it over to the Wii feels wrong. I know the guys, the senior leaders at Pandemic, like Josh (Resnick) and Greg (Borrud) and Andrew (Goldman), they're very committed to when we come out with a Wii product it's going to be created for the Wii.

I love the spin in the headline... They want an original game for WIi not a port so of course lets make the headline sound like they dont want the game on the console at all... Site is getting more and more fanboyish every day.

Low-powered last-gen hardware = low-grade ports and shoddy remakes.

BORING
