Peter Moore: "You Can't Port Down 360 and PS3 Games to the Wii"
April 10, 2009 | 4:39 PM PST

An interesting comment came from EA Sports President Peter Moore at the MI6 conference, according to Dpad. It is there that he spoke of how creating games for the Wii has to be a "from the ground up" experience.

"You simply can't take what you're doing on the Ps3 and Xbox and port - thats a dirty word- down to the Wii," he says, noting that EA has "learned their lesson," and are now striving to correct this mistake.

I guess it's a different time; I remember when games were ported down all the time, and we still loved them. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game, anyone? Killer Instinct for Super NES? Heck, in cases like KI, I had more fun with the ported-down versions.

Of course, on the other hand, I always wanted a more arcade-accurate TMNT, too, so I guess it can be described as a mixed bag at best.
