´Beyond Good & Evil 2´ coming to Wii?



The recently announced ´Beyond Good & Evil 2´ seems to be coming to Wii after all. After initial rumours that the game was only due to be published for Xbox360 and PS3, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot told Next-Gen that the original was probably too difficult (my own formatting).


We saw with Beyond Good & Evil that so many customers were extremely happy with the game. (...) We had a different audience at that time. We had more core gamers than casual gamers than we have today.

We think the game was probably a little too difficult for the general gamers at that time. We’re going to make it more accessible and make sure that it’s really done for the new generation that’s come into videogames.


Clearly, Guillemot is referring to their expanded audience on the Wii and DS platforms. I take these comments as confirmation that the game is coming to Wii.

EDIT Also, a Star Wars exclusive has just been announced. It will be the spin-off from the animated series and movie ´The Clone Wars´.

  1. uum sorry to break it to you mr falafel, ...but..... I'm afraid to say those comment absolutely do not indicate that BG and E will see a Wii release at all.

    I think you are reading too much into the devs comments. Just because he says that he wants to make it more accessible for a new genration of gamers doesn't automatically mean it's for Wii or that he can't do it more accessible on PS3 /360.

  2. Falafel I hold a 1% hope for a Wii port of this game only because we dont have an official platform confirmation yet.BG&E2 is one of my most anticipated games ever and the no Wii announcement ruined my day.
    I surely hope and wish a Wii port is in the worksalongside the other HD versions.
    I would ask you to make us a favor and investigate the subject a bit more.If you use your sources in the indusrty maybe you'll find something more concrete.
    Please...

  3. Hi Anonymous.

    There was never a "no Wii announcement". I will try and investigate further, but I cannot promise anything.

  4. C'mon Falafelkid let's face it the trailer looks nothing like what you'd expect from Wii graphically.....if I recall correctly, the dev even mentioned that the trailer is based on the in -game engine.

  5. Yeah, those are strange comments. I actually read them that Ubisoft somehow holds some expectation of cultivating 'casual' gamers on the PS3 and 360.

    If that's the case, then clearly Ubisoft is confused. Nintendo controls this 'new generation' because they largely only exist on their consoles. You won't find many new gamers on the other consoles outside of coming of age kids... Who are about the last demographic interested in BG&E2.

    Then again... Maybe that Microsoft Wii-mote has found it's Killer-app?

  6. Thanks Falafel!
    I will wait the results of your investigations anxiousley!
    I hope you'll give us some good news! :-)

  8. comment 4 are you on drugs like all hyped ps3 x360 games the trailer AINT FUKING IN GAME YOU TARD

    fmv graphics on ps3 now whos talking crap theres nothing in any ubisoft games wii carnt do at 480p

    you really believe asasins creed coded to wii wouldnt run solid at 30 frames

    POK SO ROGUE SQ 2/3 AND RESIDENT EVIL 4 AND TWILIGHT PRINCESS DONT EXIST ON GAMECUBE

    im getting real fed up with uneducated buffoons believing anti nintendo source

    i havnt yet seen a dam thing in res evil 5 footage wii carnt handle etc

    factor 5 etc are going to make these anti wii developers and there biased comments look mighty stupid and the gamers who believe them

    ubisofts desition to do this has nothing to do with wii power its a political anti nintendo we dont know what we are doing desition

    ubisoft carnt innovate or custom code wii so the generic thing to do is put your buggy glitchy un polished core games on ps3 x360 were thell sell as nintendo hardcore gamers wont buy buggy games and long loadtimes and out dated controls as nintendos own games shit on ubisofts

    so in sted back the casual market make loads of cash doing so and juast make high priced games on ps3 x360 and hope they profit

    no nintendo fan would put up with asasins creeds glitches bugs freezing etc

    its just so un - nintendo

    wii owners wouldnt accept such poor quality imaging galaxy all bugged out and glitchy and freezing and long load times

    wouldnt be acceptable but watch how allmost every tital on ps3 x360 has glitchy issues or long loading issues and sad act sony fan lovesssss it
    HOW SAD

  9. cube boy youhave serious problems.....firstof all the trailer was indeed based on the ingame engine..

    and secondly you simpy refuse to face reality....Wii is vastly inferior to its competitors technically .....look at the hardware specs


    is like saying a chrysler voyager is as fast as a Ferrari when the wheather is not so good....utter stupidity....thats your logic...

    A pig face as detailed as the one in the trailer wit all the nuances the resolution and effects is simply impossible on Wii.

    face godamn reality once and for all and take wii for what it is namely a pseudo innovative piece of crap with ancient 2001 visuals unless games start showing up that prove me wrong.



    best regards

  10. ...I'm going to ignore the argument that's stemmed and just post my thoughts, if that's alright. :)

    Honestly, I want BG&E Wii. I see the console as BG&E's best hope for success. However, I have this dreadful feeling that it's going to the PS3/360. This upsets me since the best sellers on both platforms are hardcore shooters - Resistance, Halo, etc. or "mature" (I use the term facetiously) action games - GTA, et al.

    If BG&E DOES go the PS360 route, then we're going to see a vastly different title from the charming original. It'll just be BG&E in name only, with a few characters as lip service to original fans.

    Ubisoft recently came out in the open and pretty much attempted to justify the half-assed job they've done on the Wii (let alone the fact that the company puts the lowest of low quality developers on Wii projects). And to be honest, they think WE'RE the problem. It's just a crying shame.

  16. i <3 cubeboy.

    you need your own blog. seriously. get on it. i would read that shit every single day... hahaha... you're hilariously awesome, man.

    bg&e won't come to wii. to paraphrase cubeboy, ubisoft has already shown us what their intention is with the wii: they fuck us in the ass. it's that simple.

    i loved red steel. i would love to get a sequel to it... but seeing as we've heard nothing about it for ages, and ubisoft just keeps releasing info about shitty fucking games that end in "z", i think it's pretty obvious what they're doing to wii gamers. we're getting fucked. plain and simple.

    i'll forever love ubisoft... but as a nintendo fanboy, it's just getting harder and harder to justify buying ANY games from them.

    prove me wrong, ubi. prove me wrong. release bg&e2 for wii.

  19. Purchasing a PS3 and supporting the games on other systems isnt going to help the Wii with 3rd parties at all.

    Its a fairly big game drought at the moment on each system.

  26. while i applaud nintendo for securing a tenchu exclusive, i personally can barely remember the last time i actually enjoyed a tenchu game.

    anyways, cubeboy: that birdman article you linked is nothing short of fucking amazing. what a fantastic read.

    it's a shame IALS will never admit that he's read it, because it absolutely CRUSHES his entire attitude and outlook on the gaming industry, along with all the other stupid industry puppets. GOOD SHOW, cubeboy. good show.

  32. After all this with Manufacturers you can find a large number Cheap Diablo 3 Items of somebody that has been privy to the ultimate magic formula. I will talk about these with all the group of fans now even as are usually near launching this particular last piece of the particular nintendo wii bigger picture plus it might not change lives at thisGW2 Gold point or maybe in the future to be able to broadcast it.
