Firaxis has given a preview of their flagship game, Civilization, as it makes the transition to the next gen consoles. During the Leipzig Games Convention, they confirmed the release of Civilization Revolution on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo DS next Spring, but the Wii version won't be making the festivities and will arrive sometime next Fall.

No explanation was offered for the delay but 1Up believes it may have something to do with coming up with a new interface for the Wii. For the versions they did manage to get a preview of though, they found that not only was Civilization Revolution accessible, but also fun even for the average gamer. If the game really did make the transition from mouse to joypad without a hitch, this could easily become a classic for the next gens.

Actually look at most of those games, most of them are crap the only games that arent already packaged in with the wii that are selling well are the normal franchises that nintendo can only offer as a AAA title and thats Mario, Pokemon, and Link. I own Mario Strikers, Sports(came with Wii), Zelda TP, and Pokemon Rev. I also own a PS3 but I have 9 games for it. Sony and Microsoft have the best lineup of games this year and next. Nintendo solely relies on its continuous characters(Mari o and Link), along with the casual games. As regular/hardcore gamer I am angry to see how the market may shift to cheap, crappy casual playing games due to Nintendo and how well its console is doing. This is a dark generation for all hardcore gaming fans who stick with nintendo.
