Not meaning to be inflammatory, but I can understand third parties getting a mixed message when games like Carnival Games and Wii Sports/Play/Fit are among the best games on the console and games that are more "serious" seem to be missed, NMH, Okami, apparently COD: World at war.....
If Ninty changes their marketing a little, they could do a lot to dispel this, but they don't. And quite frankly, the only visibly hurt by this are some of the Wii consumers, so I can't fault them for continuing to push stuff like their Wii Series, Animal Crossing, and even Flash focus and brain Training for the DS. |
GGHHKK-
All right, mouth-foaming over. Those three games you just named? Okami is a port of a two-year-old PS2 game, and actually sold about on level with the PS2 version! That is not a strong property in the first place.
No More Heroes is the best-selling game its studio ever produced. They are so happy with how it went. I am not even kidding.
All the Call of Duty fans own 360s and PS3s or gaming capable PCs.
Nintendo hardcore gamers do not want ports and watered down multiplats! We also want bombastic, high-budget super titles that are the best their studios produce. We reject the scraps, sir! We are not in need of charity, merely in need of being taken seriously, just once.

So with Call of Duty, your basically saying it is not suitable to the Wii because it is multiplat and not optimized for the Wii? Can you exactly define an acceptable game for the Wii while excluding Call of Duty? Its like your blaming the userbases of the other consoles for games not doing good on the Wii.

If you are a serious fan of shooters, you own a 360 or a PS3 or a gaming capable PC. It's the way of the world. I'll own a 360 soon enough: it will be the second one I helped to buy. If I get Call of Duty, it will most probably be on there. This is true for more people who buy Call of Duty: they are going to own them one of the other consoles and will buy it there. World at War may end up performing very well for a shooter on the Wii, but yes, the fact that it is multiplatform is still going to hurt it. The Wii userbase generally doesn't cling to multiplats that obviously perform better on other systems.
