"Point&Click adventures? Yeah, there's actually a revival of those - on the Wii".
I laughed when I heard this. He couldn't have been more wrong.
The point&click "revival" - which isn't a revival, when will NA gaming media ever learn that the genre never died but USA stopped caring about it more than a decade ago - happens
- mainly on PC (lots of new p&c adventure games each year - 90% of them remain unnoticed outside the genre fans, the 10% which are noticed are all made by Telltale games)
- to a lesser extent on DS and iOS (several original developments on both systems, some PC ports of older games)
- not on PSN/XBLA as they only get some PC ports of older and newer games (for example Monkey Island 1&2, all Telltale games, Jane Jensen's Gray Matter on 360) but not a single original development - or only one if you count HR
- not on Wii which gets the least PC ports of all systems (far less Telltale games for example, Broken Sword) and afaik only one original development (Another Code - which wasn't even released in NA)
I often wonder if these people who try to explain gamers the world of gaming actually know the world of gaming.
