Apparently, people at the Valve offices have been dying to make a video game for the Wii. A video game that will allow those with families to enjoy gaming with their young ones (Valve's video games are usually on the Mature side of the ESRB scale). Well, despite Valve liking the Wii platform, if it were to happen, it's years off.This isn't a confirmation (we're treating this as a rumor since JeuxFrance, you know, doesn't source anyone), but the word seems to be that around 2010 we could see a Wii title if Valve is down. We guess they're busy with a sequel to Portal or something? Yeah, that must be it.

Rock Band for Wii isn't even It's one thing -- and an acceptable thing -- to milk customers for a few bucks at a time for additional songs they really want. It's another thing altogether to offer up a full expansion for thirty dollars less than a month after the video game is released. That's right: Rock Band isn't scheduled for the Wii until June 22, and this Track Pack is due July 15. And it's labeled Volume 1, naturally ... expect another round not long after that. We're anticipating September.
The only logical explanation for this travesty is that Harmonix is upset that they missed the Wii boat and are now scrambling to scrape as much quick cash as possible. The question is: will Wii owners take the rather unattractive bait? Fume your way past the break to see the full track listing for Rock Band's Track Pack Volume 1.

We've seen video games that originated on the DS hop to the Wii -- Lost in Blue is the latest example, but a more notable instance might be Trauma Center. Do you think switching consoles mid-series is a good idea? If so, are there any particular switches that made more sense on the Wii? And how about the DS? Have there been any franchises that you think should have stayed on the portable?

Well, I might be making my Wii Fit purchase sooner, rather than later. In an earlier post about the Wii Fit, I said that would be waiting for other video games to release before I would buy the peripheral based video game. Well Ubisoft has released a trailer, making it look as though Rayman Raving Rabbids 3 will be utilizing the Wii Fit pad. The trailer is done in usual Raving Rabbid fashion, with a quirky montage of a Rabbid checking out the pad.
