@smeags PSN/LIVE have just as much 2d platformers as the Wii Limbo, LBP, BanjoKazooie, R&C, Shank, Blade Kitten, splosion. I'd say those services are just as much a haven for platform games as Wii maybe moreso and a good chunk of them came out b4 marioWii |
The fact that the huge majority are DD only is testament on how developers view each console. The fact is that Wii sees a great amount of retail platformers, both 2D and 3D. Many devs see that Wii is the console for this genre, which is why we even see 3rd party exclusive Platformers like Sonic, Klonoa, A Boy and His Blob... and that's not even counting the plethora of WiiWare Platformers.
And while some games came out before NSMBW, no game had the same impact that it did. That's what I was trying to say.
Each console has its pros and cons. Platformers are one of Wii's big pros. It's not a dig at the other consoles, but I don't think they compare to Wii when it comes to this one genre. That's just me though...
