Hey, Blizzard? I have a suggestion. Port Starcraft (and Brood War) to the Wii. Make sure to include some decent online multiplayer support while you’re at it.
Don’t give me that look. You ported it to the N64 way back in 2000. You and I both know that was a mistake. Why? Well, to start with, the controls were clunky and awkward. Starcraft worked well on the PC because it had an input device that allowed for quick pointing and clicking. The N64 had an analog stick with a few buttons, making for slow and mediocre controls. Now, can you think of a current-gen console has an input device built for quick pointing and clicking?
That’s right, the Wii. The Wiimote can easily take the place of a mouse, and between it and the nunchuck, you have enough button combinations to make the whole thing work. You could even throw in support for the Gamecube/Classic controller for the N64 loyalists (assuming there are any out there).
You know what else the Wii is capable of? Online multiplayer. It was nice of you to give us multiplayer in the N64 version, but I mean, come on. Split screen? Letting your opponent see everything you’re doing destroys the element of surprise, not to mention cramping the available screen real estate.
Look Blizz, you and I both know that Starcraft on the Wii would be more popular than food. Regardless of the fact that Starcraft 2 is on its way, Starcraft Wii would sell millions. I mean, come on. Who wouldn’t want to sit in front of a 60 inch screen, gesturing your forces to victory? It would be awesome.
C’mon Blizzard, throw your fans a bone.
