Rumor: Ubisoft's HAWX flies over to Wii

by David Hinkle { Feb 5th 2009 at 2:00PM }

It's been rumored for a while now, but Tom Clancy's HAWX still appears to be circling the Wii. See, there's this listing for the game over at Ubisoft's official site, complete with a March 2009 release date. But, before you start jumping up and down with joy and spill coffee all over your computer, know that there are a couple things making us uneasy about all of this.

First of all, there isn't much on the listing -- box art, a release window, some key features, and a link to the game's official site. Secondly, those features listed look identical to the PS3/360 versions of the game. Drop-in and drop-out gameplay doesn't really sound like a Wii game, seeing as how we've not really heard of any game incorporating that feature (unless you want to count Animal Crossing: City Folk ). Finally, there's no mention of the Wiimote. Usually, when a publisher is putting a game on the Wii (especially in the case of multiplatform games), it tends to boast about the Wiimote's power and how it affects the game. Nothing like that here.

But, you know, if it turns out to be true, then consider us pumped.

Heeeelllllo? Did you guys not see the screenshot. WTF? they must be seriously tapping Wii's processing power. That looks better than the 360 version by a mile!

That's actually not a screen for the rumored Wii version. Unless you were kidding, in which case, I'm pretty dense. :)

i was. Don't worry pal, you're not dense. I came off in a pretty seriously excited tone.

If Capcom can't do a proper port-down of a 360 game, there's no WAY Ubishit can.
