Tekken 6 director on Wii Tekken: 'very interesting'

In a new interview with GamePro, Tekken 6 director Katsuhiro Harada suggests that Wii owners demand a Tekken game of their own.
In an exclusive interview with GamePro, the director of the Xbox 360- and PS3-bound brawler Tekken 6 is open to the idea of a Wii version of the classic fighting series. Here's the key quote:
Do you have any desire to port Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection or Tekken 6 to the Wii at some point? Why or why not?
Katsuhiro Harada: That would be very interesting. Like the Xbox 360 owners, if Wii owners are passionate and make it known they really want the series on their system, we would love to be able to answer that request.
Hearing about the huge number of Xbox 360 owners who are Tekken fans, especially in North America, definitely played a huge part in influencing us to bring the game to that system.
As for the Wii, the standard controller lacks the right number of buttons and the placement is awkward, so... I suppose the classic controller could handle it!
Read GamePro's massive three-page Tekken 6 interview in full.
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection is one of the best fighters ever and the Wii's hardware can totally handle it. I think it's a natural choice, but don't take this as official confirmation that a Wii Tekken is coming. Still, if the Wii fans demand Tekken, Harada is making it pretty clear that your voices will be heard.

If they do make it they better add that classic controller support. Otherwise it will end up being one big mess to control.

why go all the way to #6? Why not do something smart like start with earlier versions as dlc. Give us a bone and then see if Namco can pull of Tekken 6 wii version nearly as good as the other consoles.

I would also want GC controller support.

Can't wait for the 360 version for those who own the Wii...SPEAK UP! Classic controller, I guess would work. But like the other posts, GC controller might work better.

I don't think they would release earlier versions of the game as DLC, however, characters that were on earlier versions (but not Tekken 6) could be released as DLC...good Idea
