Some people may know that I love the PoP games. After the last one, we were told that it was the end of Sands of Time trilogy but I honestly thought it would be the end of PoP for good.

Thankfully I was wrong as Ubisoft are now making a Prince of Persia for the Wii. Here's a an article from Gamespot confirming it:

It's official: Ubisoft is bringing its popular franchise to Nintendo's next-gen console; release date still unknown.

Last week, a version of a Ubisoft press release on a French gaming site indicated that the publisher's Prince of Persia franchise was headed for the Wii in March of 2007. This week, a Ubisoft representative confirmed for GameSpot that the time-twisting series will indeed grace Nintendo's new console, but she couldn't say exactly when.

"A game based on Ubisoft's popular Prince of Persia franchise is currently in development for the Wii," the rep said. "At this time we don't have any additional information on the game or when it will be coming out, but we'll let you know as soon as we do."

Ubisoft has shown a considerable amount of support for the Wii already. For instance, the original news of the aforementioned press release was that the publisher would have seven games available for the Nintendo system at launch. In addition to the already announced Rayman and Red Steel, Ubi pledged to have Wii versions of Blazing Angels, Far Cry, Open Season, and more ready for launch day. This also makes the Wii the only next-gen system confirmed to play host to a Prince of Persia title.

You can't imagine how delighted I was when I saw that and I know Gamespot don't make a gamespace for a game until they are 100% sure it is official. The gamespace is here:

I hope they keep the stealth kills and I can't wait to see how they will use the wii-mote. I will be angry if it's annouced that it's just a port of a previous title but I don't think that will happen.

I look forward to hearing more news about it.

Also I got an emblem update today. I went from the tagger flirt emblem to the Tagger Dabbler Emblem:

Awarded to those who've messed around with the tagging system, enabling themselves and others to make it a little easier to find certain content.

I haven't done that much tagging in Gamespot but I've been looking through a lot of games lately and I tagged a few as I went along which eventually added up to seventy tags which is the amount of tags you need.
