I won't let you off the hook so easily. 3DS/Wii multiplatform development would be very cost effective, because it basically just means porting a game that the third party in question was going to make anyway, for a Nintendo system no less. Why pass this chance to serve some starved Wii owners up? The previous reasoning why we didn't see more big games for the Wii was that it would require games being built from the ground up specifically for this one platform, because it wasn't possible to easily port between systems. Now with the 3DS a new variable gets added to the mix and the biggest restriction to leave out the Wii does not exist anymore. It's also not too late to make Wii games. Don't tell me this isn't making you question the conclusions you drew previously. |
Your probably right in the 3DS/Wii case, however, 3DS has only been out for a month. Kinda early to make these kind of statements. However, I don't think it will happen due to Wii being written off and even though they are similar, there still are additional costs incurred that the 3rd parties simply won't do. Especially now that a new system is on the horizon.
