What's crysis, by the way?
Please god tell me you are kidding.
They'll obviously downgrade the graphics. They probably saw that Wiis are selling and lots of consoles around means money opportunities, and thus felt it was worth the effort to adapt the game to the Wii.
Crysis is a game being made by the creators of Far Cry. Its native platform is the PC, and its claim to fame is its absolutely gorgeous graphics (Which made it a very unlikely candidate for a Wii Port). I'd check out previews on Gamespot or videos on Gametrailers to find out more.
Edit: I recommend downloading a 720p trailer for the PC version of the game. Even though it's still in-the-works, it looks amazing. As far as what seperates it from other FPS's in terms of gameplay, I don't think we know enough about it to say at this point.
"This is, by a wide margin, the least likely thing that has ever happened."
Is this actually confirmed, though? I mean, the picture looks really, but this seems incredibly unlikely.
Also "it's" is a contraction like it is, "its" is the possessive form. Common mistake.
Crysis will be coming in some form to 360/PS3. It just won't be exactly the same as the PC version
You also forget about the part where you can punch people through walls.
PUNCH PEOPLE THROUGH MOTHER-FUCKING WALLS.
1) There is not one engine in existence built to maximize what the Wii can actually do.
2) The Wii is selling like all hell.
3) Devs are going to want to be able to cheaply liscense an engine that gets all the possible benefit out of the Wii hardware
1 + 2 + 3 = whoever makes the defining Wii game engine stands to make a fucking mint in liscensing fees. 'It prints money' and all that. What is Crytek apparently very, very good at? Making game engines.
While there is a possibility that this Crysis Wii news is fake, I have a feeling that it's not.
The thought occurred to me also.
Actually, I played Far Cry on the original Xbox well after the Wii Far Cry came out.
It looked just as shitty.
If Ubi makes a new version of Crysis (gah, hate that name) from scratch rather than rapidly porting over unreleased PS2 stuff (as was done for Far Cry Wii), it'll probably look pretty decent.
It was pretty obvious that Far Cry on the Wii was a shitty and rushed game. And btw Farcry= Ubisoft, Crysis= Crytek. One game's quality means nothing towards the quality of the other game.

The physics are also exciting. ANyway, I am going to assume it is a mistake.

At first I thought they were mixed up when I saw the DX9 segment, because it still looks freaking incredible, graphically. Then they showed the DX10 segment. There seems to be a heavy improvement in lighting / shading and particle effects (although they clearly did more to emphasise the DX10 segments in those two trailers, it probably would have been better to repeat the same scene twice). By no means world ending if you don't have a DX10 card (it still looks awesome, and I doubt you would feel as if you were missing anything on a DX9 card), but you can definitely see the difference.
Oh, and the hype around Crysis isn't just about the graphics. If you've played and enjoyed Far Cry, then the prospect of an upgraded version of that with a more interactive environment + the nice nano-suite augs they've given the player is pretty potent stuff.
Ubi has nothing to do with Crysis.
Here's how it goes: Crytek makes Farcry PC, Ubi publishes it. Ubi keeps Farcry liscence and make the console games on their own. Crytek makes a new engine for Crysis, is not associated with Ubi.

I agree. The big thing about Crysis is the graphics... and as much of a Nintendo fanboy I am; The Wii cannot reproduce those graphics in its lifetime.
True. Well, whichever.
Part of the reason I was struck by how shit Far Cry Xbox looked is because I played it immediately after playing Half-Life 2 Xbox, which looked fucking amazing on that system.
Don't know what Ubisoft did there.
Ported the aborted PS2 version.
For real reals.
