Nintendo’s Fils-Aime: wish list of PS3, 360 games for the Wii

Nintendo clearly made a very smart move when they decided to go towards a different direction with the Wii, focusing on a new way of gaming rather than on advancing tried and true methods. However, if you wanted to see your favorite Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games on the Wii, which would it be?

While the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 focused on power, the Wii opted to find a different mode of gameplay. But this decision caused the platform to be barred from games that needed a more powerful system so this was what prompted the San Francisco Chronicle to ask Reggie Fils-Aime – President of Nintendo America – what games from the other platforms he wished the Wii had.

Fils-Aime gave this answer:

I’ve been very intrigued with LittleBigPlanet (from Sony). […] Microsoft has done well. There are a range of first-person shooter type games that are all very well done that could all do quite well on a Nintendo platform.

Certainly, the Halo trilogy – anyone who would look at that and say, “No, I think we could live without it,” probably doesn’t think real long about this industry.

Even games like BioShock. I thought that was tremendously well done. The writing was tremendously clever. I would love to see more of that type of content in the industry overall that actually makes people think a little bit.

Well maybe in the next generation of consoles, who knows? Maybe we’ll see a port enter the market or something similar. What games would you like to see on the Wii?
