Topic: Swords & Soldiers: 2D side scrolling Wii RTS

The team is developing a new game for Wii Ware: Swords & Soldiers. Swords & Soldiers is a sidescrolling real time strategy game, in which three distinct factions battle for the powers of the gods. The game will feature a single player campaign and a competitive splitscreen multiplayer mode as well as several other game modes.

This game is being made by the guys that created the original "De Blob" game on PC (the Wii version is being done by another team). Looks pretty awesome.

Of course the interesting part is the "screenshots" are 1600x1200, WAY higher than what the Wii is going to put out. Or even what you might find on 360/PS3. So that has me thinking...possible PC version?

Geometry Wars 2 is natively 1080p (1920x1080) so it's possible we'll be seeing more 2D at at that res on 360 and PS3.  But you're right.  That detail in the art will be lost unless the game finds better display tech than a Wii.

I don't know anything about De Blob either, so this is all new to me.

New to me as well.  Looks cute, anyway.
