Publisher Eidos Interactive has announced that forthcoming game Tomb Raider: Anniversary will appear on the Nintendo Wii.
The game, which is a remake of the original Tomb Raider, is already well into development on the PlayStation 2, PC and PSP, and the Wii edition will see Lara appear on Nintendo's console for the first time.
"The Nintendo Wii is a hugely innovative games console and we wanted to make a special version of Anniversary to appeal to Wii owners," said Kathryn Clements, brand manager at Eidos.
"The Wii Remote and Nunchuck controllers allows Wii gamers to control Lara in brand new, unique ways, and there are plenty of new features, to be revealed soon, which will ensure Anniversary really hits the spot," she said.
Tomb Raider: Anniversary will be released June 1 on PS2 and PC, with a PSP version to follow later. The release date for the Wii version is still to be announced.
