Could still be really awesome. All the more power to Sidhe :D
*thumbsup*
Still hasn't been a better rugby (either code) game! Only one that comes close is Jonah Lomu Rugby! Come on Sidhe, you know you want to make a Rugby game!!
I can say with certainty that hardcore nrl and sports game lovers own an xbox or ps3, so this is very dissapointing. I wouldn't be suprised if they will see it later down the track though, but if there is only graphical and other superficial improvements to the game it will be dissapointing
Was hoping EA could make the next NRL but regardless of it being she, why would you put out a sports sim for a console that only appeals to casuals.

I'll take a guess here... Maybe a big reason why it's Wii only is probably graphical reasons... Sidhe's budget wouldn't be big enough to be able to make polished game nice enough for the PS3 or 360...
The news is definately more sweet than bitter though, at least SOMETHING is happening with RL and videogames
With the Playstation brand and Xbox for that matter having quite a strong presence in rugby league itself you would think that the PS3 and 360 would get a piece of the pie.
Awesome to see that Sidhe have gone back to the Rugby League franchise. But why on the Wii?

Budget might play a big part in the production of a next gen game, but how well do you really think this will sell on wii?
The saga with HES not giving the go-ahead for a next gen release will continue if RL3 bombs...
