Angry Birds Trilogy flutters to Wii / Wii U in celebration of one million sold

Angry Birds Trilogy flutters to Wii  Wii U in celebration of one million sold

The Angry Birds and the pigs they hate so are already quite popular on mobile devices, but it turns out that the collected escapades for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo 3DS in Angry Birds Trilogy also did quite well, pushing past one million units since September 2012. Its console success is apparently enough for its Finnish progenitor, Rovio, to release the game for both Nintendo’s original Wii and the more recent Wii U at some point in 2013. The trilogy collects the first Angry Birds game with Seasons and Rio for “700+ levels.” It stands to reason that the Wii U version will take advantage of the system’s tablet-esque GamePad, but we’ll have to wait on Rovio for more info as the year goes on.

Pigs beware: Angry Birds Trilogy coming to 3DS, PS3 and Xbox 360 later this year

Pigs beware: Angry Birds Trilogy coming to 3DS, PS3 and Xbox 360 later this year

Despite already being a massive success story on the Android and iOS platforms, Rovio’s clearly not planning on slowing down its Angry Birds adventure any time soon. Speaking to IGN earlier today, the company’s Executive Vice President of Games, Petri Järvilehto, told the site that the Angry Birds Trilogy is headed — in physical form, no less — to the 3DS, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 later this holiday season. Sadly, Järvilehto didn’t say how much we’ll have to spend on the bird-slinging trilogy, or when exactly it’ll be available at retail shops — though he did say you should “think of the game as the ultimate collector’s edition.” The Trilogy’s set to include the original Angry Birds title, Seasons and Rio, with the set expected to offer support for Kinect, Move and StreetPass on Nintendo’s three-dimensional handheld.
