How many on the rail shooters can one system take? It's just ridiculous how many of these have been pumped out now. I bought both overkill and umbrella chronicles and will not drop another $60 on a game I get 10 hours of playtime out of. I spent $60 on COD:WAW and have played that for over 200 hours.

Third parties have never put a serious effort into the wii so they shouldn't bitch when the 10th on rail shooter for the system fails.

i disagree with that, some have and that certain game didnt end up selling

Name me a third party wii game and I'll come up with 5 games that developer put more effort into on the other systems.

You wrote "never", not "only 1/5 as many". Did you even pay attention to what you wrote?

 

 

Yes I did read what I wrote. My point was that if a developer put in a "serious effort on the wii", chances are they put out many more games on the HD systems where the "serious effort" involved much more talent, time and money.

The budget for resident evil 5 was probably greater than the total budget for all the wii games capcom has published.

That was just as much due to HD development costs and delays than effort. And their games on the Wii were not as inexpensive as you think. For one thing, Umbrella Chronicles had to remake environments made for bitmaps and FMVs into 3D. Even RE4 Wii required rewriting the game code and engine to fit on the Wii (it only runs GC code when it's running GC games).
