In January the BBC announced plans to develop a Doctor Who video game. MCV has now confirmed that a game will be released in the UK this October for the Nintendo Wii.

Yesterday The Sun claimed a £10 million deal has been signed to create a game exclusively for the Nintendo platforms.

The game will apparently feature Matt Smith’s Doctor alongside enemies including the Daleks, Cybermen and Silurians.

An ‘insider’ told the paper: “This has been in the pipeline for years. We’re delighted to have finally nailed down a deal. We went with Nintendo as they have huge appeal for families and Doctor Who is very much a family brand. The Wii console is key for us as it’s something families play together.”

David Tennant is quoting as saying, “The video game was quite actively developed, but it’s difficult to nail as the Doctor doesn’t blow things up. He’s not Batman, who goes around smacking people in the head.”

Couldn’t agree more David!

    Thats a shame, for the Wii… its a good console, but its not the best, and I guess its going to be cartoon, the Wii doesn't do realistic. Ah well, at least the will be a Dw game, lets hope its good :)

    I'm excited!
    I hope Davros returns in the VERY LAST Doctor Who episode, and he kills the Doctor with a NEW LASER!!!!!!!!!!

  • Whovian

    i can see if they do do cartoonish due to the fact that the animated tales are so popular i hope they are drawn along those lines rather than some cute anime crap.
    13 was a great game in this genre i hope its that similar and that like the star wars games we can get a sonic screwdriver mounting for the remote lol

    I think it'll be in cartoons too. It's annoying cos Matt Smith will look sooooo wierd!!! (No offence to him, but he sorta already does).

    What do you all think about Davros returning with a NEW LASER!!!

    Calm down Eddie. There's no need to get dramatic.

    Sorry. Doctorwhotv, what do you think about Davros returning with a new laser?

  • Alex

    Whats so good about getting a new laser? I don't even think he had a laser, just some kind of electric shot. A gun would do just as much damage, and when he was in Dw S4 he didn't exactly have much power, Daleks are more deadly then Davros tbh. He has the brains, Daleks have the power. If he did get a laser, it would be no stronger then a Daleks would it, so it doesn't really matter.

  • http://doctorwhotv.co.uk/ Eddie

    I didn't explain, a new laser that is WAY more powerful than a Dalek ray. And it kills the Doctor!

    um where'd you get that information?

    um…where'd you get that information?

  • Alex

    A Daleks laser was meant to make him die… but he didn't die to it, was only going to make him regenerate. So Daleks aren't really a threat if it only makes him regenerate. If its a were you are the Doctor, I think they might stick to the series storyline (maybe) and I don't think they would let the Doctor die, if they aren't doing that then he can just pass out I guess.

    I don't wanna start fighting Alex, so I'm just gonna say (this is no not what's gonna happen), but he kills the 13th Doctor and the end of his life.

  • Alex

    Sorry if that came across as if I was starting a fight (I wasn't trying to). Do you mean the 13th Doctor, like some people have said its to be his final life, do you mean Davros killed the Doctor on his last life in the actual programme? if you meant it for the game, its onl going to have the 11th in (maybe 10th or 9th but I doubt the 12th or 13th).

  • http://doctorwhotv.co.uk/ Eddie

    Yeah, I did mean in the programme.

  • DalekDan93

    I'd like to see a Doctor Who game released on ps3 or 360 because the graphics are better and the character look more realistic.
