| Mars said: Nin sales so well casue like always nin fanboys only buy their games, its hilarious how those that whine about 3rd partys not coming to the wii are the ones responcible for them not coming. Most 3rd partys will never put their big games on the wii, nin fanboys have said they will for a long time it was to happen an E3 last year then this years GDC and nothing yet. All you have to do is look at Metroid sales and think will a 3rd party put their big game on the wii with sales compared to what Cod4 did on PS3/360, very simple dec aint it. And LMAO at nin best on the planet, do they make the best racer arcade racer fps tps online game rpg music game strategy mmo action ? ohh yahh NO they dont. What i see is they dont even know how to make a legit game in half the generes out there. |
Reading your post is possibly the most painful thing I've done today, and that's actually saying something. -_-
First of all, look at the Wii's software sales.
See all the third party million sellers? There are 8 now, with 1 more arriving next week, and 2 almost certain to reach the magic number in a month or two. This means third parties are selling well on the Wii.
Next, look at the list of upcoming games.
See all the third party games? Certainly not all will end up great, but at least King's Story, Odoro Muramasa Youtouden, Opoona, Battle of the Bands, Monster Lab, Boom Blox, Tales of Symphonia, Fragile, Mushroom Men, Crystal Chronicles, De Blob, and Deadly Creatures are serious exclusive efforts by at the very least decent development teams. They're not even nearly all AAA, but there's not a single piece of shovelware amongst them. I don't think Zack&Wiki or No More Heroes were even announced this time last year, so we can expect several more titles that we haven't heard of yet. That's not even getting into multiplats like Alone in the Dark, Spore, Rock Band, and Street Fighter 4, or the entire Wii Ware service.
In other words, we already know of many times more promising third party exclusives and multiplats in March than what came out in all of 2007. This means third parties are significantly increasing their support for the Wii.
Now you've probably noticed that most of the exclusives aren't exactly big names. That's because big sequels to popular franchises, probably what most people refer to as AAA games, take a long time to develop. The Wii's status as this gen's best selling console only became apparent during the last year or so, and the best dev teams of most publishers are still working on various projects for the HD consoles that are too far in production to suddenly port over.
Yes, we've been saying this for quite a while, but it hasn't suddenly stopped being true. So far Monster Hunter 3 and Fatal Frame 4 have jumped over to being Wii exclusives, and don't expect the trend to suddenly change for no reason at all. This means the Wii is starting to get big AAA games as well. Just slowly as expected...
Oh, and with Nintendo being the single best developer on the planet, I meant that they make more great games of different types than any other single developer, not that they make the best games in every single genre in existance. Staying away from some genres has always been a part of Nintendo's strategy due to their belief in accessability (=trying to avoid making games only a small segment of the market can enjoy), and conciously leaving them for third parties to work on (which understandably didn't work too well on the Gamecube).
