    Race Driver for Nintendo's Wii? Firebrand Ready for the Task

    Speaking with Cubed3's Adam Riley recently, Firebrand Games expressed interested in working on a Wii version of Codemasters' Race Driver franchise. In an interview that will be published in a few days, CEO Mark Greenshields expressed interest in taking on the task of bringing Race Driver to Wii, as long as it was not expected until sometime in 2009. Below is an extract from the interview:

    AR: Ralph Fulton of Codemasters said that Race Driver could come to Wii if there was a dedicated external team available to take on the project. With your current Wii tools, would you be willing and have the resources to undertake such a project?

    Firebrand Games: Yes we would and have the resources to do that (as long as it's not released in 2008!) Our Wii engine will soon be demoed and its showing all the promise of our DS engine. We decided to delay finalising our Wii tech because (1) we were so busy, which is nice and (2) because when we release our first Wii title, we want it to have the same impact as Race Driver.


    It was mentioned separately that if enough people are positive about the prospect of Firebrand taking on Race Driver for Wii, then in all likelihood Codemasters simply could not ignore the voices of its fans. So be sure to air your thoughts below and be sure to stick around for the full interview in a few days.

    It would be great for Race Driver to come to the Wii, and atleast it sounds like the team are going to try to make it as good as possible.

    Fantastic - hopefully with all this care for their Wii engine, whatever comes out from them will be top notch.

    Judging from the success of Race Driver, it sure seems like they'll do a great job.Smilie

    They've shown what the DS is capable of, so they obviously have the quality and dedication to do one for the Wii.

    Lets hope they do.

    should be already on the way, these developers have their priorities all messed up.
