Im Rahmen der vergangenen GDC '10 präsentierte High Voltage Software zum ersten Mal die Xbox 360- und Playstation 3-Version des Horror-Shooters The Grinder. Zudem enthüllte man, dass die Umsetzungen, keine First Person Shooter sind, sondern sogenannte Top-Down-Shooter. Ob das gleiche Schicksal die Wii-Version treffe, ließ man außen vor.
Nach nun mehreren ungewissen Wochen für die Fans machte High Voltage nun bekannt, dass die Wii-Version weiterhin aus der Ego-Perspektive gespielt wird.

“The expansion of Grinder to 360 and PS3 and its subsequent change in gameplay and perspective has been somewhat misinterpreted as a universal change across all platforms. We still genuinely love the Wii and would ideally like to see a publishing partner pick up both a FPS Wii version and a third-person action version specific to the 360 and PS3. We have invested more than year into the Wii; the game is extremely fun, and frankly, we wouldn’t want to see that work ‘thrown away’. But when we decided to add the 360 and PS3 platforms it didn’t seem to make much sense to jump on the rainbow chasing treadmill of trying to do the same game for such dissimilar consoles and end up short changing one or the other.” – High Voltage’s chief creative officer, Eric Nofsinger
