Gotta give the man credit; Capcom's Christian Svensson may have participated in the fastest game-related turnaround time ever. His company's latest Wii title, Spyborgs, was announced early this morning, Wii fans started pissing and moaning about it an hour or so later, and Svensson was on the scene to placate them a few hours after that. This man is the McDonalds of our industry -- prompt and able to make loudmouths quiet down for a while. Here's what he said:

"Dark Void [PS3, 360 title] and Spyborgs are the two biggest titles our office is working on. To say that either of them isn't an incredibly high priority for the company, with major resources against them would be a pretty big misunderstanding of the reality.

The team working on Spyborgs is an all-star team of some of the best character action game developers in the world, backed by us. Have faith.

This is a game that is incredibly thoughtful in its design, incredibly varied in its mechanics and will be incredibly fun to play (both alone or with a buddy/son or daughter/father or mother) when its done.

The initial reaction here I swear is the EXACT reaction so many of you posters had when we first revealed Zack & Wiki. Somehow, Z&W is now a poster-child title for the Wii in your eyes. Mark my words... you will feel exactly the same way about the level of quality in Spyborgs when it is done."

That's a lofty goal, there, Mr. Svensson, but with a team of former Insomniac (Ratchet & Clank, Resistance: Fall of Man) members sowing this Frankenstein monster together, I think you're right to believe in them. Too bad we won't find out for ourselves until 2009.
