Namco: Wii can't handle Tekken 6, PSP can.

Here's a quote from IGN's Guilty Gear XX Wii review.

"But using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck is terrible. Accent Core is a member of a long line of extremely fast 2D fighters, and you don't use motion controls for those types of games. It just doesn't work. The only way to get around it is to use the buttons instead, which means that you use the joystick to move (which is tragically inaccurate, especially when dashing) and the Wii Remote's D-Pad for inputting attacks. Left, down, up and right are punch, kick, slash and heavy slash, respectively. No. This will not work either. It's uncomfortable and clumsy, and it ruins the game.

On the other hand, using the motion controls is almost worse, because it not only throws the accuracy of your interface completely out the window, but it starts damaging the actual fighting mechanics, too. For example, swinging the Wii Remote lightly will execute a slash attack, while swinging it fiercely will do a heavy slash (how are we to execute advanced combos like that?). And to do Special Moves, you hold down either C or Z and swing the Wii Remote or the Nunchuck. That's it. The techniques that should take time and skill can be accomplished by waving your hands.

The default controls are terrible, and truly ruin a fun experience. If you have the Classic Controller though, you're basically getting the PS2 experience which is a great time."

Score: 5.9

Tekken 6 on Wii would be the exact same situation. They could make a Wii version, but it would get slammed by reviewers and probably sell <500k. Would it really be worth it?

So.....one fighting game that has poor controls is suddenly representative of every one that will come out on the Wii from now on?
