Portal is the internet meme du jour, a first person puzzle game bundled in The Orange Box with Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress for the PC and 360. If you hadn’t realised, it’s the reason why black-clad gaming spods are making insider jokes about “cake” and “Weighted Companion Cubes” whilst chortling into their skinny mocha lattes. What we’ve seen and heard of the game is certainly intriguing, and the concept is original to say the least. Which is why we literally choked on our skinny mocha latte when we heard rumours of the game being developed for the Wii.

Alas, those rumours barely had time to flourish before developer Valve stepped into the fray. Their position is that, whilst an appealing prospect, there’s nothing Portal related in the pipeline for the Wii. According to spokesman Doug Lombardi: “It’s an extremely interesting idea, but there’s nothing in product - not yet, anyway.”

Hmmm, not a complete denial, then. There’s still a chink of hope that something could happen on this front. Given the non-violent nature of the game, Nintendo would have no problem with the content, and we reckon that the motion-sensitive Wiimote would work well with something like the Weighted Companion Cube. Perhaps Valve will consider making Portal a candidate for WiiWare?
