The Grinder Wii Still a First Person Shooter

First person shooter fans can have a better night's rest with High Voltage confirming that its horror shooter The Grinder is still very much a shooter for Wii.

The once exclusive franchise made its debut last year, boasting fairly impressive visuals and running of its shooter engine developed for Wii. Recently the game re-emerged on the Xbox 360 and PS3 as a top-down Alien Syndrome-esque shooter and many had feared the original design had been scrapped.

It is still in the works according to producer Eric Nofsinger speaking to IGN, with High Voltage hoping that a publisher would pick up both editions.

The expansion of Grinder to 360 and PS3 and its subsequent change in gameplay and perspective has been somewhat misinterpreted as a universal change across all platforms. We still genuinely love the Wii and would ideally like to see a publishing partner pick up both a FPS Wii version and a third-person action version specific to the 360 and PS3.

We have invested more than year into the Wii; the game is extremely fun, and frankly, we wouldn't want to see that work 'thrown awa,'. But when we decided to add the 360 and PS3 platforms it didn't seem to make much sense to jump on the rainbow chasing treadmill of trying to do the same game for such dissimilar consoles and end up short changing one or the other.
