Tom Clancy games to get more Wii love in the future
During an interview with GameDaily, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said that the Wii would be getting more consideration in the future of the Tom Clancy series of games and "will appear at one point" on the Wii. The issue so far? Well, Ubisoft put time in on "engines that were created for the next-generation consoles" and had to "re-engineer a certain number of engines to be sure we could use the quality of the machine." Guillemot went on to say the company's attempt to create "good enough products [on Wii] or products better than Nintendo's" just "takes time." That's the reason why we haven't seen much love on the Wii, but he assures us that we will "see more and more in the future." Sounds good to us, so can we get noticed when you finally start talking about Splinter Cell again?

Should've used the Ghost Wii-con joke from Joystiq :)
Anyway, couldn't they just use modified engines from the last generation? I've been playing Metroid Prime 3 recently and it's wonderful showcase for how well FPS controls can work on the Wii so I could certainly give Tom Clancy games some love too.

oh, so creating products on the xbox and ps3 (what, with those big budgets and fancy-schmancy engines) doesn't take as much time?
also, 'good enough product...'
fuck you, ubisoft

And so Ubisoft backtreads on their older philosophy of using the Wii as a dumping ground to provide funds for serious PS360 projects
Wii's commanding marketshare is gonna change a lot of minds.

Why don't ask high voltage for their engine???
I mean, just look at the conduit
