EA considers Fight Night for Wii

Posted February 11th 2007 by Daniel Sousa.

Wii Sports Boxing inspires serious business.

In a recent interview with Dog House Boxing, EA Sports' Fight Night Producer Michael Blank was asked about the potential for a Wii version of the franchise. Any gamer who has played both Wii Sports Boxing and Fight Night has probably considered this possibility. Is it coming? Blank claimed EA is currently evaluating the potential of a Wii Fight Night. Here is the excerpt:

GM: The Nintendo Wii just came out. Are you planning on doing a version for that system with its revolutionary controller system?

MB: We're talking about it right now. We're contemplating and we definitely feel there are some exciting things we can do with the Fight Night franchise and the Wii. When you play Wii Boxing it is a very simple experience and I think that is what they designed it to be just to let you know that you can throw punches. With Fight Night we have an amazing simulation of Boxing and so we need to take those Wii controls and tailor it to what the Fight Night consumer might want to experience. We are looking at it right now and I am sure you will something some time in the future on the Wii.

GM: That's going to end up being a helluva workout.

MB: (laughing) Absolutely. That's good. We want people to get a bit of workout. If you like playing sports games and are excited by sports it is a good way to give you the best of both worlds.
