If any Wii owners were wondering whether they would be seeing a Borderlands port, they're out of luck. Gearbox vice president Brian Martel recently announced that it won't happen...

“… it’s hard to take this game and really kind of dumb it down if you will,” Martel said when asked if Gearbox is entertaining the idea of bringing the game to the Wii, or even the handhelds or the iPhone. “… we’ll see, [there's] definitely an interest there. We made Samba de Amigo for the Wii, so we love working on the Wii. We took one of the Brothers In Arms games and put it on [the Wii]. So we love the Wii [but] it’s not always the best thing. Nintendo sells the most copies, so, yeah.”

“You don’t want to feel like you’re milking the product just to get it on the Wii, especially if it doesn’t really help the game,” Martel went on to explain. “There are probably some areas of [Borderlands] that could really [work with the Wii controller] and be really excellent for it. We’d have to really consider it, I don’t think it’d be the same game at all.
We’re not gonna do it just because.”

    Why would anyone even ask this question?

    Oh darn. I was hoping for something like the HIGH QUALITY Dead Rising port.

    I'm still chopping; I haven't dropped.
