Forget it, Cartman: you ain't bashing your two loves together in one package. Commenting on a host of mods that show World of Warcraft being played with the Wii, StarCraft, Diablo Series">Blizzard game designer Jonathan LeCraft had this to say to Pro-G: sorry guys, but you're too easy to pwn. On a side note, no, Blizzard has no plans to port WoW to the 360 or PS3 - or the Wii, for that matter.
Back to the Wiimote: why? It might seem intuitive that the mouse-like Wiimote would work with WoW, but LeCraft points to one obvious flaw in the argument: no keyboard. LeCraft implies that WoW was built with the keyboard in mind. "When I saw that I was like, well, that's got to be pretty easy to
PvP against, honestly. It's not something we're looking at right now." (We don't know if LeCraft differentiated between WoW hacked to play on the Wii and WoW being played on a PC with a Wiimote hooked up - in the second case, the keyboard's still there...)
For the 360 and PS3, though, LeCraft said: "We don't have any plans for it specifically. We always keep all our options on the radar, but there are no plans for the immediate future." Still, WoW on a console... memo to Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft: you'd still want the keyboards, so what's the diff?
Finally, LeCraft tells Pro-G the same thing Kaplan tells Firing Squad: there are other Blizzard project/s under wraps, but we won't tell you what. LeCraft says that "we have the capacity" for another Blizzard MMO, though.
World of Starcraft, perhaps? (Oh no, this writer realizes in absolute shock. Now no one will ever leave their rooms!!! O tempora, o mores! Oh noes!!!)
