No Baldur's Gate for Wii U, bad Nintendo experience to blame

If you don't like the terms, don't sign the agreement.

Interesting that Beamdog would take an already developed HD remake and revamp it to release on the only non-HD console's distribution service. (Beamdog's MDK2 HD was done in 2010 -- a year before it hit WiiWare).

Also interesting that this is one of the few cases where a game on WiiWare -- 1000 points or $10 USD -- cost less than a PC download (currently $14.99 USD)] I wonder how many copies the PC version has sold.

Is anyone surprised that a company that specializes in digital downloads for PC cannot figure out how to function as a developer?

And yes, the person can be turned away by one bad experience. But you can be diplomatic about it rather than saying things that will But sometimes I think that these small-timers (and Beamdog fits that description) think the rules that they have agreed to play by should be bent for them ... and when they are not, they b-tch and moan.

For example: This Trent Oster Tweet which has not received much play ... and has more myth than fact:
The reason I say the Wii is a toy is the exceptionally low attach rate. You buy a Wii, Wii sports and never buy another game. Bad for devs
(Through 2011, tie-rates according to NPD were 9.1 for X360, 8.3 for PS3 and 7.7 for Wii).

Nintendo does need to do a better job cultivating small game development. But developers need to take some responsibility for their product and their actions.

Finally, how much will a 14-year-old RPG sell outside of a core group?
