Capcom still giving Nintendo the crumbs...

Capcom is hedging their bets with the XBox 360 and PS3 by released EVERY game on both systems with quite a few hitting the PC. It seems that Capcom has enough faith in the Wii to release their Wii games as exclusives (when they could have released many as PS2/PSP games).

Over the next several months I would expect to see a similar trend of Wii games being exclusive while more and more PS3/XBox 360 games are fully multiplatform; at the same time I would expect them to slowly announce more Wii games than PS3/XBox 360/PC multiplatform games (although that will be a slow and steady improvement).

I really feel that many developers will go this route this generation. Some big new prestige titles taht are dumped to PC/PS3/360 to recoup costs, and then quirkry/family/other games to take advantage of the big Wii user base.

The main differnce is the development time. We'll be talking about these same 360/Ps3 games from Capcom all year. Meanwhile we will see all 4 or at least 3 of those 4 Wii games come out in the next 5 months, those teams will get moved to new Wii projects and we will get 4 more Wii titles from Capcom Q4 2008 - Q1 2009. (Maybe I am a little overly optimistic, but the upside to smaller games is they can make mroe of them)

How can you say that? Capcom brings MONSTER HUNTER 3, one of its biggest franchises, really hardcore, from PS3 to Wii. Okami, also quite hardcore, comes to Wii and all reports I read say that this game was meant for it (OK its a port, SO WHAT, it's a great game that has the ability to sell good and expand the games library). If SFIV goes to 360/PS3 that's Ok, those consoles together have a bigger install base than Wii at the moment and 360 is selling games. Of course developers will develop games for these consoles. If anyone should be complaining it's SONY, because they don't get exclusives anymore and can never beat 360 that way.

Don't forget Cube was very bad for 3rd parties, so don't blame them for waiting on what would happen. Now it is clear that the Wii is a hit more and more games should come, and we see it happening, so please be a little patient. It hasn't been like this since SNES days for Nintendo.

Announced exclusive 3rd party games: Tales of Symphonia2, Monster Hunter 3, Final Fantasy CC:CB, NiGHTS, Zack & Wiki, RE:UC, Worms, Fatal Frame 4, Project O...etc.. and that's all within a year, after the (3rd party) failure of GameCube. I'm a Nintendo fan since NES and am really glad with the current turnaround. Be a little patient, and accept that the other consoles exist and will see great games that are not coming to Nintendo. That's a small price to pay for the decision to make Wii not powerfull but innovative. (And you can always go Wii60/PSWii).

 

 The point I was trying to get at was that we will see the love from 3rd parties like Capcom. More exclusive interesting, quirky, but smaller games will appear in the next few months even. I was also trying to say though that no matter how sucessfull the Wii is it won't get all the games. There is a a market for HD games even if they have to be arcade/pc/360/PS3 mutiplat games. There is also an advantage for companies to leverage these flashy games in trailers and such to promote their brand. Now some of these games (RE5,SF4) may get Wii versions many times they will choose to spend their money on a new Wii game instead of porting costs. This is a GOOD thing IMO.

 As the base continues to grow more and more properties that can take advantage of the Wii will be transferred. MH3
