I agree with the post, however, I think Nintendo and the Wii still has that kiddie image. I think will be quite some time before they shake that off. No matter how many Godfathers and RE4s the system has, Nintendo has that stigma branded on their brand name. |
Wii will have a kiddie image untill nintendo makes some mature games, and by what Miyamoto says that wont be any time soon. Yes 3rd part can make them matute games but problem is they suck at making games for the wii. As far as the op not only do the 3rd partys really suck at making wii games they are for are clearly on the casual/party type bandwgon right now which will mean they get killed by Nintendo games as far as sales go. They also are also more content with porting mature PS2 games then making new ones for the wii. You will not see many FPS, TPS, RTS 3rd party games on the wii, those games are better suited for the more powerfull hardware. |
Third parties are just going to have to change that then. They can't afford to let the Wii be an untapped third party resoursce. I wouldn't say third parties suck at making games for the Wii. Most of the games I own for the Wii are third party: RE4, Madden 07, Tiger Woods 07, SSX Blur, Godfather 2, Call of Duty 3, Red Steel. All of these are exceptional games except for the last two, they were okay. Third parties just have to start using their first string developers to make games for the Wii. I think you will be very surprised in the future when more FPS, TPS and RTS start coming out for the Wii. Call of Duty 3 was surprisingly fun and handled very well. If they tweek it a little FPS will be awesome on the Wii. TPS....RE4, I predict RE5 will be on the Wii. RTS would be a perfect genre for the Wii, especially with the pointer. |
Most FPS, TPS and RTS are being build on very high tech engines that are not being used on the wii. Sales wise its not worth it to spend 10 million making a wii version using their first string devs. Its more cost effective to make the shooter for the PS3/360 Highest selling shooters
Wii 1.01 million Red Steel
PS3 1.53 million Resistance
360 4.45 million Gears The market for that those type of games is much better on PS3/360 then the Wii. Even at twice the devlopment costs the potential sales are 6 times bigger then on PS3/360 so i just dont see big FPS TPS RTS games being made for the wii. |
I don't know. The fact that Red Steel sucked might have something to do with that. If Red Steel was on Ps3 I bet it'd of sold under a million and if Resistance was on PS3 it would sell atleast 2 mil.
