What, the Wii controls? If they aren't good what's stopping you from buying other control options?

Try to read what i've written instead of what you just want to read. I've already covered that. It's not viable.

And both him and I proved points that make it more than viable, which you have yet to argue with.

1. The default wii controller doesn't work well with tekkens control scheme. Infact the controls would feel gimped and the game would control pretty poorly on them.

2. You can't expect your consumer to have a different controller than the default one. Ofcourse you can take your chance and sometimes it works out well, while sometimes it doesn't.

3. It costs money to port the damn thing. Even if they just port the psp version. It still costs money. They have to develop a platform that works on the wii while incoorperating all tekkens systems and programming logic.

4. They have no idea how many additional sales it would give them. Quite possibly not that many, concidering that with the 360/ps3 install base, they've already covered most the fighter fans, and the remaining should be cought with the psp. Basically they offer the game to a large selection of gamers and while the wii certainly has a large userbase, it's common knowledge that the more common "gamers" on the system usually has either a ps3 or a 360 in addition to the wii.

In other words. It's not worth it.

 

I don't understand why you wanna "argue" with my points. I'm just stating them. That's just how it is. I've repeated myself quite a few times now and i hope for it to get through this time.

 

That these are the reasons why I think it's not worth it for them to do the port and why I think they aren't doing it. Infact I think most of you are just complaining about not having it on the wii is because you want the game available on the system and not because you'd purchase it yourself for the wii if it was...Which is pretty much pointless.

 

In other words I do understand why you wanna play the game.. It is tekken afterall. Best fighting franchise by far. (In my opinion.)

1 As a basic option for the average consumer who wouldn't care about this, it works fine. By this I mean people who know very little about the series. Most everyone else already have other options. I'm curious though, tell me why it would work terribly compared to something that would use PSP controls?

2 Most people who would be buying this game on the Wii, are also people who already have these options. If there is a default method(though one that works terrible) it still lets people to play the game until they upgrade to a new controller. I'm basically saying that the target audience for this game would either own a gamecube controller to play gamecube games, or a Classic controller for various reasons such as playing previous fighters that supported it or the VC. They are only limiting their userbase to what it was already. Everybody else will most likely not buy the game anyway. If it is really a problem then they can bundle the game with a Classic Controller like Capcom did for Monster Hunter 3. That makes your point less valid as it seems.

3 Of course,  I'm not arguing this. I was arguing against what you were saying about the controls. I don't think it should be ported either, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible like you seem to make it out to be.

4 Look at 3.

The whole point of my post was to prove that it CAN work on Wii, not that it should. I'm fine with things the way they are now, and would buy the game for PSP unless the HD versions prove to add something other than better graphics and online.

Assuming you've ever played tekken you'll now have learned why it works so much better on the psp than the wii.
