Prince of Persia producer Ben Mattes, in an interview with N4G.com, firmly states there is no Wii version of the new PoP series in the works.
“The Wii version is non-existent,” said Mattes. “It’s just not a platform that we developed this game for.”
Ubisoft already has a solid DS development team, so a portable version of Prince of Persia made more sense:
“We knew we could do justice to a DS version,” he explained, “[one] that wouldn’t feel like some sort of watered down lame excuse of a port; it would really feel like its own standalone Prince of Persia property. And that was really important to us. We didn’t want to do a port on the DS — we wanted to do a standalone, unique experience that continued the overall story that this new Prince of Persia game is trying to setup.”
Though it should be mentioned that Mattes won’t completely rule out a future Prince of Persia on the Wii:
“I hope that we will see another Prince of Persia game on the Wii,” he said. “Because when I Rival Swords, I really liked the way the Prince’s movement translated to the Wii controls. I think that it’s really kind of a natural fit.”
