Lara Croft to make Wii debut

Eidos has confirmed the Wii debut of iconic character Lara Croft, with a version of Tomb Raider: Anniversary already well into development.

The title is a remake of the original Tomb Raider game and has already been announced for PlayStation 2, PC and PSP.

"The Nintendo Wii is a hugely innovative games console and we wanted to make a special version of Anniversary to appeal to Wii owners," commented Kathryn Clements, brand manager at Eidos.

"The Wiimote and Nunchuck controller allows Wii gamers to control Lara in brand new, unique ways, and there are plenty of new features, to be revealed soon, which will ensure Anniversary really hits the spot," she said.
