Oblivion won't run on Wii, says Bethesda

[wraggster]

Bethesda's Pete Hines has been talking about the developer's hit RPG series Oblivion and the numerous console versions to Shack News. Hines says that although the company would like to get the game on Wii, the hardware's not really up to it.

"This time around we did Oblivion and again we designed a game that's really going to push some limits and would do the things we thought next-gen consoles might be able to do. When 360 dev kits were available, we did it on them because it was available. It's not really going to run on a Wii for example, but if it could we would put it there."

It could run fine if they dumbed the graphics down. It wouldn't look pretty, but it would work.

If the PSP can do it then Wii could do it better.

that will be a really dumbed down version. Oblivion needs to get the bugs out on its current systems before they port the damn thing to anything else. Mine still crashes at the very beginning of the game on my pc for some reason, and all my other games work perfect...

That makes me a little sad, but all is not lost. Just get a bluetooth adapter and play Oblivion on your PC with the wiimote+nunchuck.
