| ViolentPhlegm said: @BoleroOfFire: POP:Rival Swords is Sands of Time. Consensus on Metacritic is that it looks no better than the GC version. Really, this whole discussion is very silly. A Nintendo monopoly isn't going to happen so that's not the answer to getting 3rd party support on a Nintendo console. If Wii-owners want decent 3rd party support they're going to have to start buying those games. No More Heroes got great reviews but couldn't sell to even 1% of the base. Who's going to pour money into developing a great game if those are the results you can expect? |
Wii's graphical capabilities are superior to the GC. 'Tis not Nintendo's fault if Ubi didn't try. See Mario Galaxy and other Nintendo games for examples of games that push the Wii hardware.
Agreed.
Duh. This is a hypothetical situation.
Err? If Nintendo had a monopoly they wouldn't get third party support? Who made all those games on the NES and SNES? Those were all Nintendo's? Damn, they were busy! And they didn't even have a monopoly that time...
Ooh...you got me there. No wait, but Okami got great reviews but barely sold to 0.1% of the PS2 userbase. It's already been outsold by the Wii version and that was a 2-year old port. I don't even know why you'd pick [an unadvertised game like] NMH as an example. Has it not been beat into fanboys brains yet that the very developer said he's happy with the sales and is working on a sequel???
They've already made a nice profit from the sales so I doubt they poured millions upon millions into the game. Games that have had a lot of resources put into them (and even some that haven't) have had great sales in return. But this is way off-topic.
Next time make it clear that you're referring to niche gamers only.
