Diablo III Confirmed for the Wii

Posted 1st Apr 2009 08:33 AM by Flux

We generally enjoy playing along with April Fool’s Jokes, but this one is both lazy and lame. An “oh come on…” quote, to give you the flavor of things.

Blizzard today announced that their highly-anticipated RPG Diablo III will indeed be available for Nintendo’s Wii system upon release.

“Yeah, we were sitting around in the office one night having a few beers and thought it might be fun to prank Satoru”, says president of Blizzard Entertainment Mike Morhaime in reference to Satoru Iwata, CEO of Nintendo.

“Unfortunately we were so wasted that we didn’t even remember the call until a few days later when Nintendo turned up with a Wii devkit and started getting all excited about a ‘Baal Board’, whatever that is. By then it was too late, and well, you should have seen these guys, man they were excited!”
