Blue Byte considers The Settlers on Wii

Gaming website Cubed3 recently caught up with Blue Byte Software Development Director and Studio Manager Ralf Wirsing and had a brief talk about video game The Settlers for the DS and possible incarnations on Nintendo’s shiny white console.

The director was quite elusive but some hints were dropped just the same. According to Wirsing, he tried playing the Wii for some time and realized that it’s indeed fun and the motion-sensing feature does offer a lot of possibilities.

When asked if the strategy genre is going to work well on Wii, he commented that it’s still too early to give definite response now but their studio together with Ubisoft will look deeper into the matter.

Prior to the DS version, The Settlers was mostly popular for its PC version with different themes being released every now and then. When asked if Wii owners can have a taste of earlier Settlers game via the Virtual Console, Ralf Wirsing said, “we haven’t studied this opportunity so far, but it might be interesting”.

How about you guys would you like to have The Settlers on Wii? The possibilities are definitely endless. Just imagine the game utilizing the console’s WiiConnect24 and WiFi connection for multiplayer. As much as we want to see this one coming true, it seems that we all have to wait for now until Blue Byte comes with a decision.
