SBK-07: Superbike World Championship MIGHT come to PS3, Wii

Hmm... these are the questions that haunt me. - Image 1

We had been wondering why Black Bean Games' bike racer SBK-07: Superbike World Championship is coming to Xbox 360s and PCs, as well as the PSP and PS2, but not the PS3 or Wii. Strategy Informer had been curious as well, and one of their members had asked Black Bean the one question: Why?

Black Bean gave an answer, and it shows that they're looking towards a PS3 and Wii bike racer, too. "To approach the next-generation consoles we chose the X360, as its features are similar to the PC."

This explains why, when we first heard of SBK, it was for the PSP (and PS2), but then it quickly gained the 360 and PC as additional platforms. Now that the multiplatform fact is established, though, Black Bean is "going to be evaluating the possibility of developing a PlayStation 3 and Wii version of the game within the next few weeks."

The three different next-gen consoles do have three different approaches for the same game - but now Black Bean will be looking into it (going multiplatform on next-gen as well), so they might be coming out with a new press release in the near future.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

# great use of tilt?!!! — Guest 2007-02-20 21:28

Since tilting is used widely in this sport in reality, wouldn't it be be great to take advantage of the sixaxis / wii-mote for tilting when taking curves? Weird move imo.
