"Narrative, character development, and good writing do not need a bad-ass system backing them, is all I am saying."

If The Dark Knight with the same writing, etc. had been made 30 years ago with Adam West and Ceaser (sp) Romero as the main characters would it have been as good?

 

No, but Batman was made almost 20 years ago with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson and it was even better.

 

 

Yeah I know this doesn't relate to anything, but it's so damn true.

 

 

Nah, its an opinion. As kid I watched Batman (1989) so many times that both my brother and I had memorized every line in the movie from beginning to end. The Dark Knight walks all over Batman....IMO.

As for the thread topic, SaviorX mentioned how he believes Marvelous will grow because they've backed the Wii wholely while their larger contemporaries have continued to give the console half hearted efforts. That is something I have thought would a occur for sometime now. While I didn't reference Marvelous in particular, I knew that some smaller developer would makes huge gains giving Wii owners the games their larger brethen will not.

Instead of adapting to the market at hand, larger Japanese developers have ignored it. They've tried to make Western style games due to the poor showings by the HD consoles in their home market. What attracted a large portion of their fans to their games in the first place was difference in style that Japanese games had in comparison to Western developed titles. I'm not saying that they shouldn't make Western style games to appeal to the markets outside of Japan, but they shouldn't ignore their home market because the console they thought would sell well has tanked.
