The under-appreciated (dare I say sleeper?) THQ/5th Cell Nintendo DS adventure title Drawn to Life is being drawn up for a Nintendo Wii release, according to Gamasutra.
The game that lets you draw your own hero, as well as your weapons and enemies, has helped THQ's DS title sales rise 94 percent. That sounds like a perfect reason for a port, doesn't it? In a conference call with Gamasutra, THQ president Brian Farrell said that he was pleased with the performance of the franchise, and wants "to extend the brand to the Wii in the future."
Unfortunately, no other details or release specifics were given, but Farrell does say that several other new Wii exclusive titles will be announced soon.
I love the idea of a Wii version of Drawn to Life, but I can't picture how one would be able to draw their characters with any sort of precision.
Have you tried the DS version? Will you pick up the Wii version?

Anyway, I thought Drawn to Life was decent and I had some fun with my own little Nemesis (from RE) tear crap up.
Haaaahahahahaha.. your guy might end up looking like a slug! I'd still play it though. I want release dates!
I made a power ranger
but after that I was like cool it plays like mario. but it was only fun for a couple of mins then was just annoying and boring.
glad i r4ed it
Carpet matches the curtains?
My first play through involved Towelie saving the town from evil dark forces, and when they wanted to erect a statue in honor, I made a giant, stone Towelie tokin' up. Epic. I also reflected the levels he was in by editing his character after each part. For example, cobwebs all over him when he went through a cave level.
See? Imagination! I'm picking up the Wii version if they do anything new or beef up the platforming game play.
Also, the game crashed on me halfway through the second level. Pfeh.
This will be a little different for the Wii and you wont be able to draw as well but I guess we will get used to it.
