Spielberg’s Wii Game Details from an MSNBC article:
A true artist can find inspiration anywhere. But not many get to find it while playing Wii Tennis against Nintendo’s legendary designer, Shigeru Miyamoto. For director Steven Spielberg, however, that’s just another day out of the office. “Afterwards, we were talking about the Wii and I said, ‘Wouldn’t it be fun if we could dot-dot-dot?’ ” Spielberg says of his meeting with Miyamoto at a 2006 videogame conference. That dot-dot-dot turned out to be an action-puzzle simulator—code-named PQRS—that neatly blends the creativity of the building-blocks game Jenga with the charm of a Saturday-morning cartoon. It runs on top of a physics program that lets you manipulate blocks with the Wii remote as if it were an extension of your hand. Or, as Spielberg explains for all the non-geeks out there, “It just seemed like a great thing for the entire family to play together over Christmas. Although you don’t need the excuse of a holiday to enjoy it.”

EA: First Spielberg Title Is For Wii
Eighteen months after a collaborative deal was announced, the first fruits of the EA/Steven Spielberg agreement will be heading to Wii…
Whilst widespread reports of a further Spore delay into the 2009 fiscal year remain unconfirmed by EA (after all, the likes of Crysis and Burnout: Paradise also failed to get a mention in the publisher’s financial results), it seems that one upcoming title managed to sneak in under the radar.
The first in a three franchise collaboration with the acclaimed Hollywood director Steven Spielberg, which was first announced back in October 2005, EA has today confirmed that the untitled game will be heading to Nintendo Wii before the end of the 2008 fiscal year, which ends on March 31st next year.
Described as the “Wii Spielberg” title in an EA conference call to investors, little else is known about the game, though it will join both EA Playground and Boogie as exclusive titles on Nintendo’s so-called ‘new-generation’ machine.
Spielberg is just one in a small group of movie directors delving into videogames, along with Peter Jackson and James Cameron, but the fact that his first EA collaboration will be a Wii title is something of a surprising revelation.
