My rant about Namco on their games on the Wii

Well Namco should at least port Soul Calibur III to the Wii, since II showed that series can sell well on Nintendo systems. And you can just use the Classic Controller and those Hori fighting sticks.

You can't make the game that way. The game would have to be compatible with the Wii-mote and nunchuck combo because not everyone owns a classic controller or Hori fighting stick. It could be combatible with a traditional controller but would need to use the basic controller setup in some way, which would absolutely fail in my mind, as Tekken, nor Soul Calibur would lend themselves well to motion control.

 

Who says motion control would be required? Smash Bros doesn't have motion control for any of its settins. SC would be like that. You'd use the Wiimote on its side if you don't have a better option. A, B, 1, and 2 would be the four buttons used. It would be awkward, but like Smash Bros, it would be very clear it's meant to be played with an actual gamepad or joystick.

Also, not everyone having the Classic Controller is not the same thing as too few owners to make hit games of those requiring it. That just applies to rarely used items. The Classic Controller is of a more general use than something like the Playstation Eye.
