"We are extremely excited to be bringing the action of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon to the Nintendo Wii in early 2007," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. "Our Chicago studio, under the direction of Ed Boon, has been working extremely hard to make Armageddon stand out in a big way with the inclusion of the entire Mortal Kombat character lineup, the Motor Kombat mini-game, a new Konquest mode and several other innovative gameplay additions that help keep the franchise at the top of its genre. We're confident that Wii fans will truly appreciate the finished product when it's ready to hit store shelves."

Midway has not yet revealed how it plans to take advantage of Nintendo's unique controller for the Wii version of the title.

Awesome news. Though, I find it a bit ironic as Boon said in an interview a few months ago that he couldn't see them ever making an MK game for the Wii because of not having very many buttons and that it would be difficult to make it. They must have found a way to do it since it is now apparently being made.

Why would it be an issue? You could just use the Gamecube controller couldn't you? I think people who are afraid of the wii-mote need to remember it is not the exclusive means for control.

I don't know if it would be an issue or not, that was just what I remember Boon saying in an interview.

Am I the only one that read the title and thought it was referring to MDK2: Armageddon?

My first though was: neat. Upon realizing they meant Mortal Kombat: who cares?
