You keep putting MH3 as the exception but wouldn't its existence prove your point as incorrect? The fact that it seems like to be a first-rate effort from Capcom proves that they are in fact willing to put a great amount of effort into making a wii game shine.

I don't think it's time to give up on Capcom yet. As of right now they only have Lost Planet 2, Monster Hunter 3, Dead Rising 2 and Darkside Chronicles under development so thats 2 wii games and 2 PS360 games that we know of.  There's still plenty of time in the generation for them to get their act together.

 

You know Capcom have much more than that right?  Bionic Commando (PS360), a new Monster Hunter (PSP), Spyborgs (?), Dark Void (PS360), I believe some PSN/XBLA game also.

 

UC was not a test to see if Wii owners will buy 'core' games, it was a test to see if they would buy any cheap game with a big IP slapped on.  Same as other devs, they use IPs that are liked on the HD consoles to advertise some cheap game for the Wii, hoping people will cry "Yay Soul Calibur, Castlevania, Resident Evil, Dead Space!" and not care that the games share a name only.

 

People didn't like those IPs/games on other consoles because of the name, they liked them for gameplay.

I forgot Bionic Commando and Spyborgs.

Dark Void is being made by Airtight games. The new MH game is still a rumor at this point.

 

The point still holds. Its an even disrubution of wii to PS360 games. And there is still plenty of time for Capcom to do better.

 



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."
