Eidos Interactive today announced that it is bringing Death Jr. over to the Wii. Rather than a completely new game, Death Jr. Wii will be an enhanced port of the PSP release, complete with updated visuals and controls designed to take advantage of Nintendo’s motion sensing Wii Remote controller.

Eidos is proud to bring the console debut of the Death Jr. series to Wii, with a new simple control scheme, intuitive aiming system, and polished graphics that enhance the game’s action platform experience,” said Robert A. Lindsey, executive vice president of sales and marketing, Eidos. “Death Jr.’s vibrant stylized art and quirky intelligent characters, combined with the new split-screen cooperative mode, makes Death Jr.: Root of Evil appealing to a wide-reaching audience that has embraced Wii.

The Wii release is said to include 19 levels in all, along with a two-player co-op mode. Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, players can easily switch between melee and ranged combat mode. In an interview with 1UP, Backbone producer James Stanley confirmed that the Wii edition will also include extra features such as 480p and Dolby Pro Logic II support.
