Micro Machines have been on Nintendo consoles since 1991 when the series first debuted on NES. Will the series make the next-jump to Wii? Codemasters was recently interviewed and did not rule it out.

Cubed3: Are there plans to bring the Micro Machines franchise to the Nintendo Wii? And what are your thoughts on the control system for racing games such as MM?

Jamie Firth Of Codemasters: I certainly wouldn’t rule out the possibility of a Wii version. I’d guess that everyone’s looking at their titles and seeing how the controls could be adapted for the Wiimote and Nunchucks at the moment. Given the uniqueness of the way that Micro Machines works I think we’d want to be 100% sure that we could make the same massively fun experience translate successfully to the control method.

Maybe “pushing” the cars around? Maybe an accelerator and then you “turn” the cars with your chucks? I’m sure all budding games designers out there would want to chip in with some ideas!

I’m working on my list o’ ideas this very second.
