Boom Blox may explode on a 360 near you

Here's an interesting rumor. EA (and Steven Spielberg's) critically acclaimed Boom Blox that's exclusive to the Nintendo Wii may be headed to other platforms in the near future. How do we know? Well, Mr. EA president John Riccitiello directly hinted to MTV Multiplayer that Boom Blox will be going multi-platform. "Frankly, its [Boom Blox] original design was all about the control of the [Wii] wand. But there are other ways to implement that" Riccitiello said, mentioning that "I expect you'll see it on other platforms in time."

Maybe one day we'll be able to build and destroy our very own Valhalla creation on the 360. The possibilities are endless ...

isn't MS working on a motion sensing control add-on or some such bidness?

I thought Microsoft's Motion Control add-on was the LIPS Microphone?

IMO, the innovative capability of this game was the manner in which it is controlled on the WII. I don't think this would be as interesting if played with standard controllers. Vision Camera? Interesting idea... Specific Motion Sensitive device? Rock on!... Otherwise, I'll likely pass.

I just picked this up for the Wii the other day. It's pretty fun, but I can't see how it would work on the 360 unless the "Newton" becomes a reality. Maybe they would make it bundled with the Three-Mote ala WiiPlay, but I doubt it.

I passed when it was on the software starved Wii, I'm not going to jump on it with the gluttonous 360 library coming out in the next few months. It seems like a game that is fun for awhile but then will quickly wear out its welcome. (Similar to Elebits on the Wii).
