Retail Radar: 360 Far Cry 2, Wii Harvey Birdman

The Retail Radar has picked up on a pair of possible ports today, as listings on GameFly indicate upcoming games from Ubisoft and Capcom might be coming to more platforms than originally announced.

First up is a listing for an Xbox 360 edition of Ubisoft's upcoming PC game Far Cry 2. The original Far Cry was a hit for the publisher upon its release for 2004, and the first-person shooter quickly made its way to consoles. However, much like the game's menagerie of mutated mercenaries, the game had been changed along the way. The Xbox played host to Far Cry Instincts and Far Cry Instincts Evolution, while the franchise burst into the new generation of hardware with Far Cry Instincts Predator on the Xbox 360 and Far Cry Vengeance for the Wii. While the GameFly listing offers no description of the game, the fact that the title has remained unchanged suggests that the online rental service expects the Xbox 360 game to be fundamentally the same game as the PC edition.

Elsewhere on the site, GameFly is listing a Wii edition of Capcom's Harvey Birdman game. Originally announced for the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2 in April, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law is being developed by Hoffman Estates, Illinois-based High Voltage Software, makers of the most recent Leisure Suit Larry game and the Hunter: The Reckoning series. While a Wii version of the game would not be entirely surprising, a DS edition would be the most natural addition to the lineup, given that Capcom has already said the gameplay will be reminiscent of its Phoenix Wright series of courtroom adventures.

As of press time, representatives with Capcom and Ubisoft had not returned requests for comments on the games.

Please note, while retailer listings frequently jump the gun on publishers' product announcements, they should not be taken as final confirmation of a game's existence; nor should the absence of a listing be considered as proof that a game isn't coming to a given platform.
