EA says that We are really excited to offer this game both on the PS2 and Wii, which will allow fans to experience MOH in a completely new way. Metal of Honor Vanguard will hit the Wii in March 2007.

Great to see third party support lifting, but lets hope they are porting it to the PS2 as well rather then from the PS2 version to Wii.
