| Boutros said: The lack of 3rd party support is also mostly due to the technical perfmormance of the Wii. Developers most of time have to do a whole new game for the Wii. A simple port of the HD version won't work. |
I haven't read ahead, but I won't be surprised if you catch much flak from this statement. One that I agree with.
I don't see the point in doing SD ports of most of the top IPs of the generation because there simply isn't anything gained in the translation. More is lost due to the technical deficiencies than anything else, which have nothing to do with "lazy developers" and more to do with basic technical constraints to include the basics of RAM, VRAM, and general GPU and CPU processing power.
The vast majority of games I've enjoyed on the Wii have been those that simply wouldn't translate well to traditional joypad controls. If they did, why would I bother playing that game on the Wii unless it was developed by Nintendo/exclusive?
