Bethesda just doesn't like the Wii. but most of there games are way to BIG for the Wii to handle.

 

But Elder Scrolls III was on the Xbox. Why not make a Wii exclusive game playing on the strengths of the Wii?

 

It was on xbox probably because microsoft offered them money. The xbox was the only console last gen of running it. Just like 360/PS3 are the only consoles able to run oblivion. The Wii just cant handle that type of game.

 

I call bullshit on this one ...

Games like Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3 do have large worlds but only very small portions of these worlds are loaded into memory being simulated at any one time. There really is nothing preventing you from making a game similar to Fallout 3 for the Wii or Nintendo DS if you wanted to ...

Have you seen the draw distance on fallout3 and oblivion? The wii cannot handle that much stuff on screen at once. That is fact,

 

Viper1, the game engine means nothing. Most game engines can be dumbed down or pimped out to meet what it needs to do. But fallout3 and oblivion are meant to have huge open worlds. With vast draw distances. Have you played either of these? On my computer I cant do the full draw distance for Oblivion, when it cant draw from as far as is needed, it looks all weird and ugly.

 

The wii can be fun for other games. But It just wont work for this. Only 360/PS3/high End PCs can run fallout. My computer is pretty good(Oblivion at half settings) with no frame dropping. But the wii is like the PS2 + a few roids thrown in. That is pretty much it. I love my Wii for zelda(pretty big gameworld, just not as huge or detailed as oblivion or even close to fallout3.

 

 

That's a pretty false fact you've got going there ... You could easily make a Wii game with a better draw distance with more objects on screen, it would just come at the expense of polygonal and texture detail of the objects.
