Wii would have you use the brown townog stick addon to walk around and Z would Place a brick, or A. I'd say B would shoot a brick, and C would move the camera if you point your wii at another direction. The directional button would be for different bricks. - or + would bring up a gui with Options, Admin, Players, Menu and crap. And 1 & 2 for other stuff. I just see a lot of potential for a wii port.

This. A Wii port could be pretty nice if made well.

Xbox 360, would be a better choice. Just because the company is the same as the PC Windows software and changing the code would be too big of a hassle due to more similar languages.

There are several things people need to understand about a Blockland portable port.
The first is, say there was a Blockland portable edition, it will be nothing like the PC edition. The interface will be different, the variety of features will be less. You won't be able to join PC servers. You won't be able to use add-ons, or at least not like we know of now. You won't be able to port your builds from PC to portable. I'm sure most of you know this, but I just think everyone needs to clarify that they understand, even if a portable edition was made, it will not be an alternative to the PC edition. The same way The Sims on PC is not like The Sims on GBA.

Now, if we are going to make this game on a console, the Xbox might be the best. Windows and Xbox are made by Microsoft. Xbox does have keyboards and since they are made by the same company, it's common since that connection to eachother would be possible. Now, there could be things that may come up, but I doubt anything serious would come up if done right.

If I were to make Blockland for a portable system, I wouldn't convert the files or anything, I'd just completely re-make the game, but keep it looking the same. It would be a lot more easy then painfully trying to convert it.
