People just need to accept (disappointed Nintendo fans included) that if you want "hard core", story driven and graphically high caliber games the system you're going to have to buy is an Xbox 360 or Ps3. For anyone who enjoys the features of high end visuals, details, strong narratives, long single player modes and vast multi player options the wii will not suffice as a console. while the DS has successfully become a jack of all trades, this is very unlikely to happen with the Wii as the HD consoles are already selling vast amounts of software (unlike the PSP) on a combined install base that is currently larger and will likely remain comparable for some time to that of the Wii.

The Wii2/HD may or may not bring the sort of casual-hardcore balance many gamers are hoping for, depending on how MS and Sony responds.

No not really, the consumer has clearly chosen the Wii as there system of choice so shouldn't developers cater to the MAJORITY of consumers?

How can honestly ANYONE defend this notion?  Seriously convince me.

 

 

Well they are, its just the majority of gamers do not want De-Blob or NMH.

 

 

 

No there not.  Unless your Marvelous, Capcom or SEGA there tending to release...

1- Games that are PS2 port counterparts.

You mean the best selling system of all time? If they don't got a GC engine they'd obviously have a PS2 engine.

2- Games not taking advantage of the systems specs or controls.

I've never seen a game released for the Wii which uses just the buttons and no motion/pointing. Also they don't have to release a game which takes advantage of the specifications, the cost/benifit there isn't quite so obvious as with the HD twins.

3-  Refusing to have main development teams work on them and hand them down to shoehorn developers.

The main development teams make core games generally. If they are better used on the PC/360/PS3 then thats where they'll be used.

4- Purposely advertise the 360 or PS3 version in commercials and slap on the logo after wards.

Perhaps theres a perception that the Wii userbase is difficult to advertise to. An Ubisoft executive came right out and said it. Unless they believe that a large percentage of the Wii userbase will respond to a game of course they won't advertise, advertising Niche games on a system makes no sense.

5- Release games LATER than the other systems release dates.

Music games and Pro Evolution soccer? Thats about all I can think of.

6- Still release games with technical issues.

Join the club, technical issues are a problem with all systems.

7- Giving your Wii release basically zero to none advertisement funding.

Niche games get no advertising. The games which people like to Wax lyrical over are niche games. Theres no doubt about it. Even if selling 500,000 copies makes a lot of money, its still niche on a system with 40 million consoles sold.

 

You call that trying? Also No More Heroes got a sequal due to its sales and Blue Tounge are very pleased with sales, hey look at that, the third partys that put in effort made a profit,  funny world we live in.

 

 



Tease.
