Sorry if old.

From Kotaku.

A version of Ghost Recon: Future Soldiers, confirmed earlier today by Ubisoft, will be coming to Wii, the company announced today.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that the upcoming shooter will be coming to all platforms when it hits, including the Wii.

The game will be different though, he pointed out. It will be developed by a different team than the one working on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. And it will have a "different approach created for the Wii population."

So it sounds like you should be expecting something along the lines of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition, as opposed to a near port of the other consoles' game.

Ubisoft says Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will "go beyond the core Ghost Recon franchise and deliver a fresh gameplay experience, with an unparalleled level of quality that will excite long-time fans and newcomers alike."

A multiplayer beta for the game hits this summer for the Xbox 360 version, which will be released on April 13.

Wrong. COD:Wii sold a million copies, Resident Evil: UC sold a million and so did #4. Redsteel 1 sold a million also. All are shooters. I'm sure Metroid Prime 3 sold a million also.

Eurgh, different approach for the Wii's population. So that means they'll make it a rail shooter then wonder why it fails...Hopefully they go mad and just make it an over the top TPS, it'd be nice to have a fun shooter on Wii which isn't on rails, even if it doesn't feel like a Ghost Recon game.

I thought Call of Duty 4 Reflex was a close port of the original - am I missing something? If we get that, then Wii owners will be happy. Again, I have to laugh at the notion of a singular "Wii population" beyond "people who just own a Wii".

What other, comparable shooters are there? Also, loving the way you alter the argument from "shooters dont sell well" to "third party games done sell". Surely the reasons behind these two statements differ?

This game sounds really chessy, just from the title. They should stick with modern times.

If it's anything as good as Graw and Graw 2 on xbox 360, then I say we have a winner.

Wow 3 shooters sold a million, we all know hardcore games generally don't sell on Wii so don't even try to counter his statement.

We can't be sure about it being a lazy port. And not being close to current gen hardware?Well,that's just pointing out the obvious.

To whomever said that Wii 3rd party games don't sell well: you are sadly mistaken. Check out Nintendo's latest report from Iwata. For much of this 7th generation, 3rd party Nintendo games have outsold total 3rd party games sold on PS3 and Xbox 360 on a month-to-month basis. This Christmas season, Wii 3rd party games sold were slightly behind PS3 and Xbox 360 games sold-- but if MW2 was factored out then Wii 3rd party games outsold PS3 and Xbox 360 games by a large margin.

Wii has had a few well-announced flops, but most of those games didn't turn out to be flops in the long-run as many Wii games tend to have long legs. Dead Space Extraction was wildly heralded as a major bust as it only sold 10K in the 1st week, but it has now gone on to sell over 200K in a few months. Madworld has also sold well after an initial slow period. The Resident Evil Spin-offs also fit this category.

Quite frankly, there are very few good 1st person shooters that are even on the Wii. Most of the shooters so far are rail-shooters, which has been a much over-produced genre on the Wii. I love House of the Dead Overkill, and that game sold well, but there are too many other rail-shooters. I am not holding too much hope for Sin and Punishment 2, which comes out soon.

All of the major FPS games on the Wii have sold pretty well. CoD WaW sold well over a million units. CoD MW reflex edition is selling very solidly despite being a 2 years old port and having terrible reviews. The Conduit is the only other major 3rd party FPS on the Wii that I know of, and it sold decently but not spectacularly. The Conduit was a buggy game with a lot of flaws, but it still had its charm.

To date, no compnay has really taken a chance on making a good big-budget FPS on the Wii. I think Ghost Recon could do quite well, actually-- there aren't any tactical FPS games like this on the Wii. Lets just hope that Ubisoft doesn't give the Wii a gimped copy that is vastly inferior to the HD consoldes release.

I think that if MW2 had been released on the Wii it would have sold 1,5-2 million copies easily, but for some reason Activision didn't want to release MW2 for the Wii this year.

It doesn't have to be worse than the 360 version but usually when they give that crap about being developed by a team geared for the wii audience it turns out bad.

Then why do you hear so many companies planning to stop supporting wii?, just face it core games don't sell well on Wii apart from a few big names I'm sorry you're too much of a fanboy to admit that.
