The "only Nintendo games sell on Nintendo system" started to be pretty worn out and too transparent for anyone to believe anymore, so they need to make new ones. Well, you can run, but you can't hide. @Esa-Petteri: You seem to be getting the point pretty easilly. 3rd parties can make good games, but why aren't they showing on Wii? It's not a matter of there's no way of doing it, it's more of a matter of there's no will of doing it. Yeah, the games you mentioned are pretty much tailored for Wii and that's big reason why they have sold well. If it doesn't give them any hint about how to have success on Wii, especially when someone slaps it on to their face, it's just just their stupidity not to learn from it. @Lemmiwinks: Actually last gen it was easy to make ports, because the most popular system was the weakest. So by having the weakest platform as the leading one in developement process, makes porting cheaper. Too bad that can't be done this gen, due to the weakest platform not being the most popular one, which would justify it as the leading platform and make porting cheaper. Oh, wait... |
Yes, it does give them a hint about how to have success on wii. I think they have learned from it, too. That is why you are getting game party 2 and more games comparable to the best third party successes on wii.
Of course, in last gen the power difference was small enough to allow making the weakest platform the lead platform. Now you just cannot do that. There seems to be little reason to do that, since third parties are having success with really different games on wii or Ps3/360. Looks like there is no need to port mario&sonic type games to Ps3/360 as there seems to be no reason to port a game like CoD:WaW to wii.
