"I think we'd approach it with the target audience in mind first and the vision of delivering an emotionally powerful narrative and go back to our basics in terms of some of the pillars of gameplay we'd like to bring to bear - exploration, progression, customization, conflict, story, narrative, and characters.

awesome :D

make the complete bioware/black isle RPG pack. have the baldurs gate series, the icewind dale series and planescape torment on 1 DVD. then replace the 2d sprites with nice 3d models and add a bit more animation to the backgrounds. that would be epic. the wii would be great at those types of games too. not going to happen mind......still its great to see bioware taking an interest. in many ways the Wii is the ideal platform for big epic RPGs. theres plenty of disc storage....it doesent cost a fortune to get the hardware to behave and the devs can just focus on making great content. good writing and good game mechanics dont need a supercomputer.

man..no game out today compares to Baldur's Gate II. That is without a doubt, one of the most amazing games ever created.

First Bethesda, now Bioware. The 360/PS3 developers are finally realizing the Wii. I wonder which game on Wii inspired them to do this? ( My money's on The Conduit and The Grinder)

good lord let it be KOTOR Wii! I would give one of my pinky toes for that.

I've just recently met a gentlemen that is employed by Bioware at a gaming confrence for my school a few weeks ago. He didn't mention any new/Wii projects at all. Although, no one asked either. (I didn't have time to)

It wouldn't surprise me though... $$$ does make the world go round'

unfortunately probably the second. The same way capcom kept saying "Resident Evil 5 would be cool on the wii wouldn't it. Maybe we'll get to work on that" then we were all like :(

BioWare boss Ray Muzyka, "We'd be intrigued by the idea of developing on Wii but we have nothing to announce right now. We do have some unannounced projects that we're not ready to talk about yet, and they are different from some things we've done in the past."

This is the most interesting thing I found in the article. It neither confirms, nor denies it. I hate statements like this, and it reminds me of something Myamoto would say (just in different words). It's like they say these things because they enjoy watching us suffer.

Do they have any announced projects other than Mass Effect 2? I haven't heard of anything

most probably the second one :P "looking forward" or "is interested in" usually means "if we're done with all of our projects, we may think of something for it"

Cool, they're interested in it. Too bad they won't make a game for it.

I would not count them out. EA is making a big push on the Wii. EA could ask not so nicely. Plus you have they have already made a game for the DS.

Well Bioware does good work, they would be a welcome addition to any platform, however I wouldn't hold my breath for a Wii project.
