And then there were two.

It was only a matter of time before adventures started making their presence felt on the Nintendo Wii, and that time is now at hand. With Capcom already at work on Project Treasure Island Z, now The Adventure Company has announced its plans to bring Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None to the Wii this November.

Based on the popular novel by the Queen of Crime, the new game will be familiar to those who played the 2005 PC version of the game. The new version uses the Wiimote controller, however, and will be adapted to take advantage of the system's unique features. According to today's press release, "players will have the freedom to control their character's actions, such as using a digging motion to unearth clues, or spinning the handle of a safe using the Wiimote; and the introduction of timed puzzles where, for example, players must race up a set of stairs from a boat docked below."

And Then There Were None casts players onto a remote island, whose guests are all accused by an anonymous host of past crimes for which justice is finally being exacted. With seemingly no one else on the island, terror and suspicion is spread among the guests as, one by one, they begin falling victim to their host's vengeful plan.
