DOCTOR Who is to regenerate into Doctor Wii after BBC bosses signed a mega-bucks computer game deal.

Nintendo has agreed a contract said to be worth over £10million to create the much-anticipated game for its popular Wii and DS consoles.

And the firm is planning to get it into shops in time for the lucrative Christmas market.

The game is at the early stages but is set to be based around the new Doctor, played by Matt Smith.

It will also feature key Doctor Who baddies including the Daleks, the Cybermen and the Silurians.

An insider said: "This has been in the pipeline for years.

"We're delighted to have finally nailed down a deal. We went with Nintendo as they have huge appeal for families and Doctor Who is very much a family brand.

"The Wii console is key for us as it's something families play together."

The game will be closely monitored by the BBC, which does not want anything too violent.

Former Doctor David Tennant said the game had struggled to get off the ground as some developers had wanted the Time Lord to beat up his enemies and blow things up.

Who chiefs prefer the Doc to defeat baddies using his cunning rather than his fists.

David said: "The video game was quite actively developed, but it's difficult to nail as the Doctor doesn't blow things up.

He's not Batman, who goes around smacking people in the head."

Firms had been coming up with ideas for the last three years in a bid to tap into the show's success.

The insider added: "BBC Worldwide, which licenses BBC shows, has been trying to find some way of doing it.

"But you can't have Doctor Who blowing things to bits with a laser gun. That would massively change the nature of the show."

The BBC has made a fortune out of Doctor Who spin-offs - raking in around £100million.

If I can use my wiimote as a sonic screwdriver, I might just have to dust off my Wii.

It's from The Sun, so a lot of people are saying that it may be BS, but I don't care. If it happens, my pants will be happy.

ummm I assume this means XMAS of next year? Even though they say that it's been in the pipes for years I can't see them putting in a substantial amount of development into a product that they don't officially have the license for.

That being said there will be so much wimsy here.

I would predict that this isn't going to be released in the US.

Doctor Who is a strange license. In the UK, it's a family show with a lot of stuff aimed at kids. In the US, it's aimed at sci-fi fans.

I'm really hoping action-adventure. MGS in the fact that you try not to kill people (He is The Doctor, after all), Uncharted in the fact that it's a puzzle game. Unlocking doors and such with the sonic screwdriver would be awesome, not to mention all the other crap you could do with it. I'd be 100% behind only having the sonic screwdriver as a weapon through the whole thing, and having to use your wit to get you through it.

I almost made this thread, but I wanted to wait for confirmation. In my head, the wiimote is the sonic screwdriver and the game is like 3d professor layton.

This is from The Sun? It's bullshit. Don't get your hopes up. Also, it's one thing to say a third party licensed Doctor Who, quite another to say NINTENDO is making the game. It all screams B.S.

This is like when little kids start talking about bakugan in front of you. Why do you all know these things?

I want a Top Gear game.

No, having the Top Gear Test Track in Gran Turismo 5 doesn't count, unless GT5 has double-decker bus racing...

These four new adventures will take the form of downloadable computer games available for PC and Mac, in which players assume control of the Doctor and Amy as they embark on new adventures which complement the new TV series.

The first episode of Doctor Who: The Adventure Games will be available to download for PC and Mac from www.bbc.co.uk/docotorwho in June 2010.
