a wii just entered our lives and now am freakingly curious about the possibility of Aquaria ported there, is that a possibility? or drool over the videos of people bluetoothing the wiimote on their pc is the closest option?

There's a chance.... we'll see!

I sadly do not own a Wii, I'd love to play Aquaria on it. I do own a DS, but I doubt it's easy to port Aquaria to it, so I won't ask for Aquaria DS. ;)

I think it'd be more enjoyable to play Aquaria on the Wii than it would be on a Xbox 360, to be honest. I myself love playing games with a controller, but Aquaria would feel unnatural to me without the Point & Click interface.  It might be just an opinion, but hey... On the Wii you have the choice to use the Wii-Mote+Nunchuk or a controller. On the Xbox you can't decide this for yourself.

Well, PS3 also has some tilt sensors and stuff that might be usable by aquaria that we shouldn't forget.

Really the best thing would be aquaria for all consoles!  O0

The best fits for a game of this type would obviously begin with a DS port. If anyone here has played Zelda: Phantom Hourglass they will know that direct control of a character is entirely awesome using just the stylus.

Also, to everyone poo-pooing the PS3, please have a look at some of the seriously wonderful titles available on the PSN and listen to what some of the developers have to say about Sony's support for such endeavours. There certainly seems to be a lot fewer constraints on size and user-generated content than on the Microsoft side. They have also proven to be extremely enthusiastic supporters of creative freedom.

Microsoft's size-limit on XBLA titles puts many devs off, especially if they don't have the backing of a Capcom or Konami to get them to relax the rules in extreme cases (like Castlevania: SOTN and Bionic Commando: Rearmed). Their aversion to letting the modding community have access to anything XBL related also gives many pause, especially in light of how good Sony has been with UT3 modding and the coming ugc-fest that will be Little Big Planet.

The WiiWare service certainly looks like a step in the right direction for Nintendo, but the lack of a hard drive on the Wii and the fact that the service is untested in the wild are unknowns that give one pause but that will hopefully both be elucidated as the service grows.

That said, Aquaria is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Please keep up the tremendous work!!

I actually think a DS port would be nice if you think about moving with the stylus, but how would songs be handled? By pressing L/R while drawing on the screen? It's possible, but I myself am finding that a bit uncomfortable to perform myself when I play DS-games. (And yes, I've played LoZ- Phantom Hourglass, that's why I know.)

The PS3 might give some good options too, but as far as I know a PS3 port will be far off due to all the hard coding you need to do. As stted earlier, the Xbox 360 and the Wii have easier portability options (coding and stuff). I'm not against a PS3 port, but I doubt it'll be there soon if made.

Really the best thing would be aquaria for all consoles!  O0

Agreed.

I'd say Graphics. But that could be lowered if it's on a DS, then it would be the map data.

EDIT: OR of course the engine, don't know that either.
God sees and knows everything, but at least he won't gossip about it.

Well looking at the tech demo he had going, I don't think graphics would be that bad (that chibi naija was ADORABLE!) and then you're right, it's just map data.  I think it's perfectly doable.

This...game...ROCKS!
