Since when did Nintendo in whole conference that the Wii will revolutionized FPS? Who even says that? I've caught in the moment, I mean Wii will revolutionized FPS?!! therell be a RTS game? WOW Ninty was good! Therell be controls more accurate and fast than the mouse and analog. It will be good!


3 years later wheres the promise? Why's the Wii become the opposite of what it should've been? Why is the Wii have less FPS and TPS than HD consoles? Because Nintendo didnt promised that. Its the gaming journalists promised that. Even red Steel in that conference didnt featured the shooting aspect it featured the swordfighting aspect even many core gamers thinks its the bad aspect of Red Steel. hence the title


So why 3rd parties dont like FPS on the Wii?


Because 3rd parties wants this:

actually, the Wii pointer interacts with 2-d plane, NOT in 3-d plane. Unlike in analog and mouse. Thats why the Wii pointer were suitable for games like these:

.... And thats why Wii FPS was easy once you get used to it. Wii pointer interacts with 2-d plane for a reason. For the casuals that never played shooters before. Thats why the SONY wand was a huge mistake for SONY, not only the technology wasnt sure way of giving the gamer a accurate and precised controls it also used a 3-d plane. Good for FPS but I suspect it will be a hassle like analog. Though we will never know till we tried it arent we?
