| 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? |
First off, while I agree a Nintendo Monopoly isn't going to happen, that doesn't excuse the lackluster third party support. And your example of 'gamers have to buy third party games reguardless of the quality' and the third party excuse of 'our games didn't sell and therefore we don't need to try' is essentially the same thing.
Third parties haven't given gamers a reason to buy their games. Even the 'big' titles like No More Heroes, Zack and Wiki or Blom Blox would be considered weak titles when compared to the third party offerings on the other systems. So to say gamers have to buy the titles in large numbers for third parties to show an interest in the system is just plain backwards thinking.
Development companies are suppose to give us a reason to buy a game. Not our dollars give us a reason for them to make games. Which, by the way, our dollars already ARE giving them a reason to make games for the Wii. With the Wii outselling both of the other consoles combined.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
