Tomb Raider Anniversary for Wii
The remake of the Lara Croft adventure that started it all is coming to Nintendo's console.
by Matt Casamassina

May 14, 2007 - Eidos Interactive today announced that Tomb Raider Anniversary is being developed for Wii. The title will be an enhanced port of the upcoming PS2 game of the same name.

According to the company's senior brand manager of Tomb Raider, Kathryn Clements, the Wii remote and nunchuk open up new ways and unique possibilities of controlling Lara. Further details are forthcoming.

The PC and PS2 versions of the project come out June 1, 2007, in Europe, with a PSP version to follow.

No word on a US release date for Tomb Raider Anniversary for Wii.

We contacted the company's American subsidiary for further comment, but it did not get back to us in time for publish.

I don't have a Wii, I'm buying the PS2 version. But I am glad that Wii owners will get an opportunity to experience this game.

No, it won't. At least it won't on the PS2 and PC, not sure about the version for Nintendo's console....but it's gonna be a port of the PC version, just with Wii controls, so no, it won't suck.

ya it will most shooters/high packed actions suck on the wii

Well, too bad for the Wii version then. Reviews are already coming in for Anniversary and they're all in the 80s & 90s.

Im thinking it will bc of the controls. It took clsoe to 10 years to perfect them and I cant see teh Wii-mote doing this game justice.

i think this game will only ever be good on the dreamcast...or the x-box i know Tomb Raider Legend is good for the x-box that is the best soo far!

That's so very true, just look at Red Steel.

[Astrø]

Tomb Raider's main focus is not shooting, it's puzzle solving, platforming and adventuring. Plus, TR:A uses lock-on targeting, there's no manual aiming with crosshairs and stuff. Haven't you seen any of the gameplay videos?

After five minutes, I figured out what you where saying.

All I have to say is, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, begs to differ.

 

[Havok83]

you dont think the Tomb Raider series is good on Sony platforms?

 

[ihateusernames]

Who? Me?
I loved them, until I tried to play them a while ago and hated it. They just seemed unplayable.

I just hate the whole clockwork turning.

I know...his post confused me. Tomb Raider: Legend was successful on all platforms, so I don't get what s/he's trying to say. Plus it's been successful for ten years, even when it was exclusive to Sony platforms...

 

[Astrø]

sory i forgot to put down sony...and you do shoot alot on that game...the wii is a family fun sytem..its not hardcore enough for Tomb Raider

Godfather Wii also begs to differ, so will a ton of other games. Yay for Wii haters!

I realy Liked the wii at first but now its just sucking everyone out of the market...just look at the PS3 they probally aren't gonna get any profit..Even X-Box 360 is having a hard time...I just kind of feel bad for the other systems and when i hear now that this is happening and Now the Wii is getting more money it just angers me this would be a great game on the 360 or PS3! Once agian I say the Wii is for family fun puzzle games not Actualy Fun games..

I agree with you there, the Wii definitely is not the place for TR. TR:A deserves to be on the 360/PS3. Although an Eidos rep at the tomb raider forums seems to be hinting at a 360 version in the future...

a port of a 2 and a half year old gamecube game is hardly anything to brag about, guy.

If it hits the 360 im happy

There haven't been enough to judge. The only ones I can think of that sucked were Far Cry and Red Steel. Far Cry was a ****ty port and Red Steel was rushed. Godfather got good reviews for Wii.

 

[Astrø]

The Godfather was like Scarface and the Sapranos...they sucked ans the graphics were real sucky. So what makes you think the Godfather will be good for the Wii?
