Reggie: Third parties don't "get" the Wii, more

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.

Wii owners won't get desert if they don't eat their greens.

COD WAW is one of those delicious vegetables. If mommy (Activision) doesn't see them eating that, then how could they possibly be hungry enough for desert.
