US games firm Electronic Arts (EA) has announced plans to release its popular boxing title Fight Night for Nintendo's Wii.

Michael Blank, EA's series producer, revealed to boxing website Doghouseboxing.com that the firm is looking into the prospect of developing the game for the Wii, formally known by its code-name Revolution.

He said: "We're contemplating and we definitely feel there are some exciting things we can do with the Fight Night franchise and the Wii.

"We need to take those Wii controls and tailor it to what the Fight Night consumer might want to experience.

"We are looking at it right now and I am sure you will something some time in the future on the Wii."

Fight Night Round 3, the latest title in the EA boxing franchise, is already out for the PlayStation 2 (PS2), PlayStation Portable (PSP), Xbox 360 and the original Xbox.

The game will also be released worldwide for the PlayStation 3 on March 27.

Leading EA titles such as Madden NFL, Need for Speed, Medal of Honor, Harry Potter, The Godfather and Tiger Woods PGA Tour are already in development for the Wii.

EA, the world's largest computer games publisher, saw its net profits fall by a whopping $99m to $160m in the last three months of 2006.

The firm's quarterly revenues rose 1 per cent from the same period a year earlier.
