CEO and System 3 founder, Mark Cale explained the following to Nintendo Gamer:
“The advantage we’ve got with the Wii is there aren’t any great racing games on there.. Of course, on other consoles it’s a harder challenge. But rest assured that what we want to do is create the Gran Turismo for the Wii,” he said. “I can confidently say that the [DS version] is graphically and technically better than any other racing game.”
“We are looking at the option of putting an accelerator and proper steering wheel in for the Wii version, because that’s one of the problems of the Nintendo controller - you either have a very loose system that’s very forgiving but unrealistic, or if you have it realistic and you suddenly flinch or something it could affect the performance. We feel we’ve come up with a very good solution to that.”
“We have to aim our quality towards that title to ensure that we’re in a position to be comparable to GT. But racing against the clock is not the direction that I think the market is going to go in the future. It’s not our philosophy to sell something just because Ferrari is the most desirable brand for a racing videogame.”
