| Gojimaster said: I think there was a post about more info regarding Dragonquest X being revealed in a Japanese magazine later this month. I agree that most big-budget 3rd party games are probably dead to the Wii-- they've been dead to the Wii ever since launch. However, the conclusion of 2010 shows that there is still opportunity for 3rd party games to have million-selling games on the Wii. I believe that not only is there cross-porting potential between Wii and 3DS, there is also some cross-porting potential between Wii and Move. I won't be surprised if Wii snags a few quality games, if not top tier games, this way. |
I know, but it turned out to be fake: I tossed that in to tease soriku.
As for the rest of your post, I think you vastly underestimate the time and energy it would take for developers to change course. Wii-exclusives are out of the picture, because by the time a developer tools up and finishes the game the next generation is likely to have begun (and this assumes they're sufficiently impressed by the sales figures in the first place). Making Wii/3DS games would not only require that the game sacrifice each system's most important feature, but also that developers see enough money in porting a portable game to a console. The cross-polination with Move is plausible, except that Move seems to be DoA.
