| Soriku said: The only thing devs are ignoring the Wii for are FPS games. Which is the biggest Western genre. In terms of Japanese support, the Wii pretty much has that locked. The Wii has fighters (save a few), party games, sports, driving (MK Wii anyway), and some strategy games on board already. If the Wii got more FPS, and more games like GTA, it's outlook would be more different. Though Take Two did say they can't ignore the Wii anymore. It's going to be just much harder to not supporting it when a good deal of Western companies are losing money and some going under or hurt/really hurt (Factor 5, Free Radical). With 50% of the marketshare in lock by the end of this month or early next month, and with over a 50 mil+ userbase incoming, there's no way they're going to keep doing what they're doing. Plus there's some promising Western games coming, like Conduit. It's really more of a "When will Western devs lighten up" than a "3rd parties ignore Wii" thing. |
ya, I pretty much agree with this.
the Wii has some RPGs, tons of upcoming ones, which hopefully will do really well (we already know DQX and MH3 will do great,) the Wii is the console for platformers, it has a lot of SIM games, racing, party, etc, its just missing, IMO, shooters and action.
NMH is prolly one of my favorite action games of all time... and we have the upcoming MadWorld... so.
the Wii has the great games, just not the audience. yet.
