Diomedes1976 said: Turrican was created by Factor 5 for the Commodore Amiga originally some 19 years ago .Nobody has the rights besides them .
Disney doesnt have any right to decide were KH goes .If they dont like it they can of course not sign to license its charachters and worlds and the game cant be done (either that or Square searchs for another cartoon company to sign )but the same goes to the other end .If Square doesnt want the game cant go another place .And Square -Enix develops the game so I would definitely say Square has the upper hand here .Disney may like better somethin and put
some pression some way ,but after they say what they want is either they take what offered or leave with nothing in the hands .A KH III for Wii would be too similar to the PS2 games for Square to be very happy .They want to sell more than anything but its pretty sure the game could sell some millions on PS3 specially if released say 2009 ,with the Wii it would be a bet .I think it would pay off as the casual gamers of the Wii would be attracted by the Disney charachters just as the PS owners were attracted by the FF charachters .But will Square take that risk specially to launch some minor game not definitely leaps beyond KH2 ?It depends ,if third party wii software keeps bombing the wiser would be going the safe route to the PS3 .Or launch two games as the DS/PSP offerings . |
Did you even bother do the slightest of research before you typed that first line.

Thornado is reportedly a super-fast shooting game that combines 3D action with a little bit of exploration as you defend Earth from an invading alien force. The game will feature two selectable characters, a man and a woman, and futuristic polygon environments that range from Earth to outer space. While Factor 5 isn't releasing any details, we do know that the game's title refers to the player's ability to use wind-based weapons that can literally blow enemies and obstacles out of the way. Factor 5 opted to change the name after it was unable to reach an agreement with Rainbow Arts/Soft Gold, the European publisher that still owns the rights to the Turrican (Amiga/SNES) name....
