This game looks ridiculous! | |
Ridiculously awesome. Sure it may not have a very original storyline, but from the looks of the game it doesn't take itself seriously. | |
Oh no, I did not in any way mean ridiculous being bad! I mean it in the way they want the game to be. It looks crazy, and ridiculous. | |
Oh fair does then. I am so psyched for this game. I mean who hasn't thought of a game where guitar solos can be used as weapons? Plus nobody but Jack Black could play the main character well. | |
Cheap port. Next! EDIT: Actually, if it's the same diologue and story it's going to be as awesome. It what Tim Schafers games are best at and the main reason to buy one, which is extremely rare. | |
Is there a release date on this yet? I cannot wait for this game to come out. Now now now please! | |
Our best bet is Octoberish if we're lucky. Nothing solid. | |
If the Wii version is not devloped by Tim Schafer, it's not Brutal Legend at all. The game should be called...CASUAL Legend. | |
Tricky wording, kinda like "Is the shit" does not mean the same as "Is shit." Dunno what to think about the port. I'm gonna go with SomeBritishDude's opinion, while adding "I hope they have responsible controls, or at least GC controller compatibility." | |
What is even this game? A hack and slah beat em up? A music game? A racing game? I'm afraid of buying this game but yet I need to. | |
I think this game looks cool, but as a wii owner i also fear that it's gonna be a cheap port. | |
It's probably none of them and all. It looks like it's going to be a bitch to categorize. | |
Just realised that the guitar hero guitar for the wii actually has the wii-mote inserted into it, which would enable you to use your guitar for killing solos (played like GH) AND as your weapon (swing guitar the who-style) | |
Maybe you play music to attack and have to hit the correct button on time to do reaction commands all while using a second controller, which is a wheel, to steer your car, and you also have to do puzzles with that. | |

Is Brütal Legend Headed to the Wii?
Rumors persist that Brütal Legend will eventually be released for the Wii, although Double Fine Productions may not be making it.
Brütal Legend, Tim Schafer's heavy metal adventure, is currently in development for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, but back in February, GoNintendo posted a story that included a rumor that the game would also be released for the Nintendo Wii. The site was asked to pull the story and did so, but not before it had been noticed by 1Up, who asked Schafer about it when they interviewed him roughly a month later.
His response was telling. Instead of confirming or denying the story, he asked his public relations representative how he should answer the question before replying, "We are making an Xbox 360 and a PS3 version of Brütal Legend." It's not the sort of response one would expect to such a simple question, unless the truth is a Closely Guarded Secret.
Taking the matter even further, the Cut Scene reports that Schafer was telling the truth, "just not the whole truth." According to the site, Double Fine is making the game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 while EA is contracting the Wii version out to another studio entirely, although who that is remains unknown. The alleged Wii version of the game went into development only recently, and so most likely won't be released until well after the 360/PS3 versions.
Whether it's a direct translation of the game or a Wii-specific version similar to Dead Space: Extraction, a Wii version of Brütal Legend makes sense in light of EA's recent commitment to increased development for the Wii, and the awkward silences from Schafer and EA, which refused to comment on the report, aren't going to make this rumor go away.
