Runic Games Working On A Torchlight Port For Consoles

If you missed last years dungeon crawling hit, Torchlight, you'll have the option to experience it on consoles later this year.
Torchlight turned out to be a much bigger success than expected, seeing how the game was first released to fund Runic game's next/bigger project(a Torchlight MMO). After Torchlight hit the market however, consumers and critics alike loved the game so much that Runic Games decided to spend a bit more time developing for Torchlight.
Runic Games' CEO Max Schaefer said, “We’re going to put some serious effort into it getting Torchlight onto consoles. There’s a lot of really cool things about the console world, too, that would work well with our game. So, we are definitely going to be going in that direction.”
In the past dungeon crawling hasn't worked out too well on consoles, given that spam clicking with a mouse is usually a better/faster way to play through them.
Although Max seems pretty sure that Torchlight will be a different story, and with the amount of experience the Runic Games team has with dungeon crawling, I'm open for any ideas they might have.
