Has anyone considered how cool C&C would be on the Wii. Perhaps it would not make best use of the motion sensing, but using the pointer would be far easier than using a controller, ala Xbox 360. Or any RTS for that matter!

I would strongly depise any RTS to come out on the Wii since Age of Empires II (one of my favorite RTS) did not feel right on the DS. Its not about the ingenuity about motion sensing controls or the touch pad with a stylus, its about micromanagement which is done at best with keyboard+mouse. Any RTS should stick to the PC. Period.

There is also another definite advantage on playing on high definition monitors over 480p since you gain more vision of the battlefield, and now even more since Supremem Commander utilizes two screens at once.

I think C&C on the Wii would be really fun I want them to make a Age of Empire game for the Wii because I like it on the PC and I want to see how it would be on the Wii

age of mythology would be cool on wii, just wondering could the wii run that game? could it run it better than its current state or would they have to downgrade.

Sorry for making an incorrect assumption there. But anything ouside of an RTS, I could see a game from the Command & Conquer universe go on to consoles. Last time that happened, C&C Renegade, it did not turn out too great.

aoe2 rocks

 i don't think that rts would work very well on the wii

lack of buttons is one problem (unless a keyboard+mouse combo is released)

not sure if the wii is powerful enough to support so many things moving at the same time

but then again, you never know

C&C on the N64 was great! i think something along these lines is bound to happen. I agree that its not suited to a standard controller, but the Wii is different and we will only know if they try it!

To play single player missions against the AI, anything would work since you can get away with things. The reason I like the single player campaign on C&C3 is that the storyline is great and the cutscenes are the best I have seen in any game.

But for online play, the FPS and RTS genre are the most competitive out there, and I was thinking along those lines since I used to play somewhat competitively on Battle.net (Warcraft III) and Microsoft Zone (Age of Empires 2).. We all know that micromanaging is the key thing that seperates great players from the good players, and the best way to achieve that is through keyboard and mouse. An above average player must have around 500 productive actions per minute, I see it hard to do that with the Wii Remote and a gamepad.

There's enough button wii the wiimote and nunchuk to make it work, true less than on a pc, but it could work. The joystick on the nunchuck could be used for moving on the map or zoom, and you get all the other buttons for stuff :-)
