Tom Clancy Is Headed for Wii, says Ubisoft CEO

Year in and year out, French publisher Ubisoft ships another successful game in the Tom Clancy universe. Whether it's Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon or one of the newer brands like End War, these titles clearly appeal to the hardcore base. Considering Ubisoft's strong casual focus on the Wii, does that make Tom Clancy a poor fit for the Nintendo console? Not really, says Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot.

In a new interview with GameDaily BIZ, he in fact just about confirms that Tom Clancy games will indeed show up on Wii eventually.

"Tom Clancy will appear at one point. We need to make sure they [look good]," Guillemot explained. "We have engines that were created for the next-generation consoles. We had to re-engineer a certain number of engines to be sure we could use the quality of the machine. Even without the [high-end] graphics, the experience can still be very interesting. ... To make sure we can create good enough products [on Wii] or products better than Nintendo's takes time. That's why you don't see many products, but you will see more and more in the future."
