Saint’s Row 2 Not Coming to Wii Because…

It often feels like the Wii is left out from all the mature gaming goodness out there, and it seems Volition producer Dan Sutton thinks so too, as he answered why the console won’t be getting Saint’s Row 2, among other things.

The main reason, he indicates, is that the use of motion controls would stir up potential controversy. “With games like ours you get much more controversy when you add motion controls like you saw with Manhunt 2,” he said. “We have weapons like chainsaws, satchel charges, stuff like that. I can definitely see people having a problem and outcry towards that because it does actually feel like you’re using weapons that way.”

Sutton also stated that the console lacks the graphical fidelity found in both PS3 and Xbox 360, making the developer less interested in the system.

“At Volition we’re really about pushing really good graphics and with the Wii you just feel like you’re playing on an older console,” he said. “We’re definitely focused on the Xbox 360 and PS3.”
