Third parties pull a fast one and blame Nintendo for their own crappy games

[Smashchu2]

God ****. All I can do is face palm.

"But Nintendo chose to go down this path of less-powerful, lost-cost hardware, and one side effect of that decision is that some games simply cannot be ported over."

This line sums up the problem. Ehem..............
WHY DON'T YOU JUST MAKING A ****ING WII GAME THEN.

Look, really easy concept. Don't port. There done. Instead, make a game on the low hardware system. This is not a new concept. For the last 7 generations of so there have been plenty of console exclusives. It has only been recently that the port fest has started. Every console has had some game that was a console exclusive. This is not a new and foreign concept. It is only becuase you are making games for a system that isn't "powerful technology" it's "technology that over-shot the average consumer".

OH, and about the fact that it's Nintendo's fault becuase the hard ware is weak. HELLO PS2 anyone. That was the weakest of the three consoles (excluding the Dreamcast). Developers had NO problem making console exclusives there. Heck, they didn't have a problem of porting either. Many developers and publishers made games for multiple systems. So, why now is it a problem that the Wii is underpowered.

It's not. It's becuase third party developers don't want to make "non-games," or, better yet, they don't want to try. Look, you guys are making games TO MAKE MONEY. The president of Square-Enix is threating to fire anyone who makes games they want to play. It's about making what sells. I don't care how bad you want to make the next Doom, but that isn't want will make you money. It will loss you money becuase of the high cost, low return model. So instead of making a Wii game (with low cost, high return but more geared towards non-gamers) they make a big budget game that no one will buy. *applause*

This is the idiocy of the industry. This man right here. Reggie wasn't pointing a figure, he was pitying you. Nintendo could have no 3rd party support and still the consoles wouldn't be able to stay on the shelves. If none of the developers make a Wii game, then they'll just be left behind to play catch-up. It's the same concept as supporting a start up company. The early adopters will be rich, and everyone else will play catch up. Since Nintendo plans to disrupt the industry it will likely be that all the other developers will become small no-name developers only popular in small circles.

So shut up and actually make a good Wii game.
