No it’s not the end of the Wii as we know it but the next installment of the Mortal Kombat franchise. Midway has revealed that Mortal Kombat: Armageddon will arrive for the Wii in the first quarter of 2007.

“”We are extremely excited to be bringing the action of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon to the Nintendo Wii in early 2007,”” said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. “”Our Chicago studio, under the direction of Ed Boon, has been working extremely hard to make Armageddon stand out in a big way with the inclusion of the entire Mortal Kombat character lineup, the Motor Kombat mini-game, a new Konquest mode and several other innovative gameplay additions that help keep the franchise at the top of its genre. We’re confident that Wii fans will truly appreciate the finished product when it’s ready to hit store shelves.””

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon features more than 60 characters, mid-air attacks, a dynamic fatality system, and for the first time in the Mortal Kombat franchise, a Kreate-a-Fighter mode.

Midway has not yet revealed how or if they will take advantage of the Wii’s unique controller.
