Dear Reader:
Namco talks Point Blank DS, Wii
A portion of a Cubed3 interview with producer of Point Blank DS, Nobutaka Nakajima…
C3: And what about the Nintendo Wii? Will you be considering using the unique control system for a version of Point Blank on this new console?
Nakajima-san: Since the Wii is a home console, it lacks the portability of the DS. Although the Wii Remote makes a shooting game very likely and possible, we do not have plans for a sequel on the Nintendo Wii at this time.
C3: What are your thoughts on the Wii, its control system and various features in general?
Nakajima-san: The unique controller has a certain appeal and serves to be a very exciting piece of equipment for game creators. With that aside, I believe how direct movements of the hand and body directly translates into analogue data allows the player to experience a new type of gameplay right in the comfort of their living room not possible before.
C3: Have you had chance to play with the Wii or one of the development kits?
