I read this on Joystiq, and for Dead Space, the EA guy said:

"A good example of this is Dead Space. We're bringing a Wii title to the market this year and it is absolutely going to be the quality and fear factor that you got on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC SKUs this past year"

...yeah..just like Dead Rising Wii will have the same amount...or at least a large amount of zombies on screen, and a camera mode....oh wait....

Now this is going to get Wii fans all wriled up "We told you 3rd parties would finally start moving over!" etc.....I'll just sit back and wait until they talk up crappy port #85 and call it proper 3rd party support as a talking point

Yeah, it won't be the same game but at least they get it, I guess.

Ports are better than nothing, for sure, but it's not the support people have been saying would happen.

 

Exactly, but I guarantee it will be used as a talking point when the inevitable "Wii has bad 3rd party support" threads show up again. I can see it now:

Guy 1: Wii doesn't get good 3rd party games

Guy 2: What're you talking about? We got Dead Rising and Dead Space ports

Guy 1: Those were horrendous ports

Guy 2: So, it's still 3rd party support, so your argument fails

I got into that once when financial reports came out at one time saying 3rd parties made the most off the Wii...but it was off games like Party Babiez and Carnival Games. I said something like "3rd parties are still doing bad on the Wii" and someone replied "It doesn't matter WHICH 3rd party games are selling, it's still a fact that 3rd parties sell more on the Wii" I know these are all technicalities, but as a gamer, they're technicalities you should pay attention to.

 

 

Yes, those horrendous ports. One that isn't out yet and one that's just been announced (and isn't even known to be a port). So quick to judge....
