World of Goo oozes onto PC and Wii in '08

IGF Finalist World of Goo is coming to Wii and PC sometime this year, according to developer 2D Boy's website. The site also states the game will be available for Mac and Linux "shortly after" its Wii and PC debut, with the PC version already priced at $20 – no price has been given for the Wii version yet.

If you purchase the PC version there is a "complimentary Profanity Pack," which takes us back to that age-old question: Motion controls or profanity? Hmmm, tough choice. We're looking forward to getting some hands-on time with the PC version of World of Goo next month at GDC.

Update: Quotes from developer Ron Carmel after the break.

Regarding Wii development: "The Wii version is coming along really nicely. We actually played the game on Wii for the first time a couple of weeks ago and thanks to our genius friend Allan Blombquist, who is doing the Wii port, the game now runs at a super-smooth 60 frames per second on Wii and it actually plays really nicely with a Wiimote."

Regarding a Wii profanity pack: "We'd love to do a profanity pack for Wii, but it might be a challenge to get that approved by Nintendo. We have other voice-over ideas for Wii that might be funny, but there's also the technical challenge of doing an add-on pack on Wii. If WiiWare will support something like that, it'd be perfect."
