Blizzard Entertainment are looking for a senior producer, preferably with experience on all three next-gen consoles. Does that mean that Blizzard will be developing for Wii? Here´s the job offer:
Blizzard Entertainment has an opening for an experienced Senior Producer with a proven track record of producing high quality console games. (...)
Requirements (...)
* Recently shipped at least one AAA game in a producer role for one of these console platforms: Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, or GameCube.
Plusses (...)
* Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii production experience.
Now, Blizzard´s flagship title is obviously the Massive Multiplayer game ´World of Warcraft´ and there is no reason why this game shouldn´t find its way onto all three next-gen consoles. Of course, the PC is the weapon of choice for this genre, with its reliance on keyboard input. But I am positive that they can adapt the game to fit the console platforms, even the Wii´s original controller.
Of course, if true, the game in question could be another one. It could be an entirely new game or it´s possible that ´StarCraft Ghost´ has now been revived as a next-gen project.
Either way, Blizzard has shown strong interest in console platforms over the last few years and it would only make sense if they planned to develop for all three next-gen consoles, including Wii.

++EXCLUSIVE++ Shiggy confirms Rev controller features for Zelda exclusively to me ++EXCLUSIVE++
In the comments section almost at the end !
I assume its just a matter of time til D-Bone himself confirms it to you!
And dont beat about the bush Falafelkid,irrespective of your "Why projection technology makes sense" theory,what bothered me most and what was the last straw was how you thoughed it out numerous times that a bigger secret exists and now you sit there and draw the curtain over it like nothing ever happened.
You should have at least apologized to your loyal reader base for getting their hopes up.Dont talk the talk if you cant walk the walk.Your big secret turned out to be non existant and far-fetched.You had some real good power.But you betrayed peoples trust ever since you kicked it out there and remember
Mr. journalist?Its called claptrap or straining after effect!
Your big secret had nothing to do with nothing and I'm here to set the
record straight KID,thats why I'm the IALS.I shed light on blotted occurences.
Anyway,its all water under the bridge now.
Its all good.
IALS
First of all, you might want to read the post entitled Why 3D projection makes sense in question. It talks about possibilities, no more. The title is misleading, to some extent. It should have read ´Why 3D projection can make sense´, I guess. But read it, for crying out loud.
What was the last straw was how you thoughed it out numerous times that a bigger secret exists and now you sit there and draw the curtain over it like nothing ever happened.
You should have at least apologized to your loyal reader base for getting their hopes up.
I have never taken back my prediction that there is still a last secret and it´s supposed to be a big one. I was told by a reliable source from within Nintendo and I have no reason to believe otherwise.
Please read what I write and stop this pathos-laden mumbo-jumbo about betrayal and shedding light and what not. You´re clearly trying to make up for lack of substance with your use of (mildly) fancy words. It´s getting on my nerves.
Kid you really need to grow up!
Everything has been said to death and
your blubbering doesnt change fact!
You know,I know who got his act together?
You should shift lanes my dula.
Its obvious,
The typical-irreformable-diehard-German-
Weisenheimer shines through you like glass I'm afraid.

All I want is proper arguments. You´re not trying very hard to earn anyone´s respect here. Just stop with your stupid phrases already.
Oh, and one more thing:

Nice to find news that hasnt been covered on the other sites. And your commentary is relevant and to the point.
Hi Anonymous. Thanks for your comments. This particular story originates from Codename Revolution, though, just for the record. But I hope to provide additional insight with my commentary, as well as post exclusive news as often as possible.
Hi Shoxware. Thanks for your comments... I guess you´re right. I don´t want to lie on my deathbed sometime and count up all the hours I spent trying to argue with that guy *lol*
falafelkid...
i, like many others i'm sure, like to go back and read the "why 3d projection makes sense" post from time to time - just to reminisce on the good ol'days of wild speculation. all of us are aware that your position was simply that nintendos "revolution" very well could be *portable*. you said it 10 times. we got the point. ials is being an ass hole.
on top of that, i'd also like to point out one other thing: my favorite part of that post.
the quotes.
i love to go back and read through the quotes by iwata, miyamoto, and fils-aime, because they fill me with wonder and make me very happy. 3d projection may not be a reality, but with quotes like these...
Miyamoto: "I think maybe if I could do anything, I would make it so you don´t have to sit in front of a TV and play. If you could have a machine that you just plugged in and played inside a virtual world that - would be just great."
and
Iwata: "We invented the current way a console is played - in front of a television and holding a controller - but maybe that image will change."
what the hell are we supposed to think?
i mean really - those quotes are so outlandish that it REALLY opens the door for wild speculation.
ials is trying to look like mr. tough guy, but instead looks like an immature child that is ignoring the facts.
you owe nobody an apology, and i still believe that there is another huge secret in the works, too, dude. maybe not 3d projection, but something else is coming; it just makes all too much sense.
stop arguing with ials - he's being a cock.
-"superfan" tactics.
Goro Abe (Wario Ware) told Nintendo Australia at E3 (you need to be a member there) that there's still a big secret.

DON'T SPEAK GERMAN ON THIS BLOG!!!
Reasons why there will be no VR:
1. Price - For under $250 they can't incorperate a VR function and still make money from day 1 like nintendo has stated.
2. "Non Gamers" - Nintendo has said that they want to expand the industry and have people that have never played games play the wii. How will new people play with the wii if they are scared and can't figure out VR.
3. Date - The Wii will be coming out this fall. It has been stated that the wii in being manufactured NOW. That would leave very little time for changes and added functions. If Nintendo were to release a new secret they would do it at a big event. Nintendo will not be at TGS this year and SpaceWorld is mainly in August. It is now July and there has been no announcement of a new SpaceWorld.
I am not saying that there cannot be little additions and changes. But I do not think that there is VR or a HUGE secret left.
Also Babble, Nintendo has said that a mic on the wiimote would be too expensive to put in.
I always ask..why can't Nintendo release VR as a separate add-on?
There goes the base cost arguement...
Something tells me however, Sony will beat Nintendo to the VR punch...
-Keeko
Why must these secrets be hardware related..I mean it could be something to do with the Wii's online functions/interface, maybe they'll have a blog type service for gamers..Maybe youll be able to host your own chat streams where the user can determine age restrictions etc. Changing the way the friend codes work...Uploading save files, replays, customised tournements. Virtual console dev tools..
Why dont we start thinking of other things besides from the physical hardware.
Italy pissed me off twice in the world cup. I have been a German fan since pre 1994 WC in USA. I also am Australian and was left stunned.
Then 90 secs left against Germany I was left stunned too. I was so pissed off to get beaten twice. What shits me is the people here who were born here and dont give a F about Australia, only a team where they have never most likely visited. The people in Italy are much different from the italians living in Melbourne. Luca is a good example, he seems like a great guy.
Anyway back to gaming heh, as this is a gaming blog. IALS you continue to bore me and looks like everyone else now too. You waste your time as most people dont read your posts.
And yes I do agree with you tetsuo about anonymouse posters, they are gutless wonders who should register. I dont see much point even commenting if you have no identity.
Now I have forgotten what I was going to say.
******THE IALS RESPONDS******
Fact is,KID pushed his BS logic defying projection theory out there until jerk off .No way around it. There has never been a human being out there who believed in projection as much as KID did and who
lived it out as unbelievably excessive with numerous attempts like him.
I have been here from day one.I aint telling no jokes.KID was obsessed with the idea of projection,wanting it to become reality at any costs.
I've read all his comments and articles.KID was on the cusp of reality loss.Ask D-Bone.He was there too.Read his lines which I posted in the last section.They pretty much sum up how KID dealt with the situation.I agree with D-Bone 100%.
KID exaggerated with his theory to the fullest.That is fact.He should acknowledge it and stand by it but instead,he draws the curtain over it
cause his ego is too big to bite the bullet.
To all you readers out there who still count on KIDs infamous wannabe big secret.You are all playin'your selfs cause it aint gonna happen.KID is pulling a fast one you to promote his blog.See,he cant even tell who told him so even though he's not under NDA.I'm just trying to set the record straight.
To all you readers and fanboys out there who hate THE IALS
for kicking the truth and for critizising Nintendo within reason and substance including the SUPERFAN
who outet himself as a snake just straight up fuck you!My world dont revolve around you.
Even though he wont admit it,KID still knows only too well that THE IALS has been one of the few individuals who kept this place alive and vivid
he knows only too well that THE IALS
did it for the buzz and not the hype
cause always on point with every syllable.
THE IALS brought readers joy,reflectiveness and common sense
and always pushed a vital sometimes
controversial discussion.
KID only knows it too well!
Think about it !

Moe Hat gesagt…
I always read your blog Falafelkid, but sometimes i wonder why you ''only'' posting bad news about the Ps3? I mean theres a plenty of good news about the Ps3, but i dont read those news at your blog, its like you have this motto .
''Are you searching after bad news about the ps3, visit falafelkids blog''!
IALS hat gesagt...
KID? I smell fanboy,and to tell you the truth- it smells
like ass.

IALS,
( D-Bone smiles )
Its time to move on my friend. The Wii is coming out hopefully in three months. Yours, mine, and Falafelkid's views on projection are in the past and are not worth hashing up.
D-Bone
Hi D-Bone,
You are right,
Guess it wasn't worth it.
:)
Back to the future!!!
Its all good.

thanks ials.
i was such a fan of yours, too. too bad. you were one of the few people on these nintendo websites that didn't hate me. oh well... guess i blew it again.
sorry i upset you, but you're just being a dick; no way around it.
why don't you tell us how you really feel?
-"superfan" tactics.
Could the "Big" secret be that Wii titles will be downloadable (spelling) only?
That means to some extent:
No shelf-warmer for retailers.
Upgradeable games every day via WiiConnect24.
Manufacturing cost will be minimal.
No hard/software hijacking on the road.
/M
No more bashing and blubbering.
The past shall rest in peace.
I have to admit that I slided back when browsing through the archives the other day.
I don't know what got into me,maybe the sweltering heat as of late..
But nothing to speak of :)
PEACE EVERYBODY

Oh no please no World of Warcraft for consoles please !!
I dont want all these stupid PC games for consoles !!! They all suck !!! PC Gamer suck, they are all stupid gamers without imagination, which are losers in real life ! They cant play games with stories or much text, they only can upgrade the levels of their stupid characters !!! They sit the whole day, excuse me their whole life, in front of the pc and do kill mobs from morning to the evening ! I dont want these cheap games for any consoles, especially not for the Wii !
PC Gamer and Console Gamer are different, console gamer all have stabile real life, wheares most pc gamer are loser in real life ! i dont want any boring games from pc ! I also have played all these stupid pc games, but gave them up, because this is senseless timekilling !
@ Anonymous,
STOP SMOKING CRACK.
from: PC Gamer with no life.
Yo Crack is better than Pc games !
The Addiction from crack allow you to be outdoors and to have contact with other humans! I mean real humans you geek !
Go and try to upgrade your char one more level !
This here is a console blog ! Punk !
SHUT UP CRACKHEAD. THE ONLY PPL YOU SEE OUT SIDE WILL BE THE COPS
Uiiiiiiii , i see, you are really afraid of the world which is beyond your pc monitor. Dude, dont be afraid, open your mind and go out and meet some real human and see the real life. You are losing your life in front of the PC ! Only Pc player are so dumb and do spend so much time with a game! And the games are so stupid ! I mean they are created for people without imagination !
And the other fact is, the PC is fucking expensive, pc gamer are paying thousand of dollars only to play one game !! I mean this is an act of sickness! PC gamer are gamer who play only for stats and upgrading levels! The console gamers are dreamers, they do enjoy a game! What is the difference of a Poker Junkie and a W.rld of W.rcraft junkie ? The Poker junkie loses not so much time like the pc junkie who is spending his whole life in front of the monitor !
I can only repeat my observation = PC gamer have no imagination !
