I actually hear they write Wii games on punch cards to save money.

 

That is somewhat funny as the punch card era was the time with some of the costliest development times....

 

Huh?

Computers were super expensive in the punch-card era, but most of the software development done was very small in scope and very little was done outside of universities.

Yeah developing any software took forever compared to these days so developing games on punch era card would actually cost a lot more...
