Rumor: Brütal Legend Coming To The Wii?

by Demi Adejuyigbe on April 1, 2009 at 11:46 pm

Everything we’ve heard about Brütal Legend has pointed to a Xbox 360/PS3 release coming this Fall, but according to 1UP, that might not be the case anymore. When 1UP questioned Double Fine’s Tim Schafer about a pulled GoNintendo article announcing Brütal Legend for the Wii, he hesitated a bit- and then asked his handler how to properly answer the question. His response? “We are making an Xbox 360 and PS3 version of Brütal Legend.”

Though he never outright said that Brütal Legend was coming to the Wii, he also never said it wasn’t. The fact that he had to hesitate, ask for the response, and then respond without any absolutes such as ‘only’ or ‘not’. Although it’s possible that they don’t plan to make the game for the Wii and he was just trying to be careful, it’s also possible that the Wii version could be handled by a different company.

Oh, Tim. I’ve got some advice for you. Hit the jump, brah!

Schafey, this is your ol’ pal Demi here. I’m saying this as your friend, alright? Be careful about what you say. It will always end up on the internet, and will always be formed into a rumor. If you could go back in time and do this over, here’s exactly what you need to do:

1UP: Mr. Schafer, what do you have to say about the rumors of Brütal Legend coming to the Wii?
Schafer: The what?
1UP: The Wii.
Schafer: Huh?
1UP: The Wii. Nintendo Wii.
Schafer: Wha? The Wii?
1UP: Yeah, the Wii.
Schafer: Like, the royal we? The public? It’ll be coming to the public this fall.
1UP: *laughs* No, the Wii, like the console.
Schafer: You need to be consoled? What’s wrong? Wanna talk about it, champ?
1UP: I’d much rather prefer to talk about that rumor.
Schafer: Well, personally, I don’t like it, but it’s not necesarily a bad phone.
1UP: No, no, not the LG rumor, th-
Schafer: LG Rumor, wait, what’s happening to LG? Are they going under? Man, I hate this economy! Gotta go, Sonny, I’ve got some stock to sell!
1UP: No, Mr. Schafer, just gimme a yes or no on this que-
*Schafer hops on his handler’s back*
Schafer: HI HO SILVER, AWAY!
*Schafer leaves singing the The Lone Ranger thing*
1UP: F*ck you, Tim Schafer.

    You don't have to wait for games to come out on wii. A mate sent me a link which enables you to unlock your wii and play back up games, dvds and games from other systems. It doesn't effect your warrenty. Just follow the instructions on the site:

    I'm not going to click that link, and I'd advise everyone else to do the same. One, Ripten doesn't support modified hardware that promotes piracy. Two, Brutal Legend isn't announced for the Wii, nevertheless released. Three, you obviously found this post via keywords, so it's probably a spambot.

    The more you know.

    Your loss Demi. Just trying to give the readers a bit of extra fun with their old games. It's ok if no one wants to follow the link…eventually they'll hear about it somewhere else. What is a spambot? You spend way too much time on your computer, girl.

    Wonder how much he gets paid to spam websites.

    I assume his boss is a Nigerian prince, so however much I win in the e-mail lotteries is his paycheck.
