As long as Microsoft owns Rare then Viva Pinata will not go on the Wii.
It's only on the DS because it's not in direct competition with the 360.

Agreed, they wouldn't make software for the Apple Mac, oh wait... They have been doing that for years.


Can you seriously see Microsoft studios announcing at E3 they are going to make a VP for the Wii?

They may aswell make Rare a 3rd party studio if they do that. Would you allow your 1st party studio to make a game for a system other than your own if you were in charge of Nintendo?


If it's to make VP a much more popular franchise so when new VPs are on the 360 they'd sell well then yes.

I see where your coming from but we are going to have to agree to disagree because i just can't see VP on the Wii.

Trouble in Paradise is coming out very soon with no reason for a Wii game to boost it's sales, a DS game could do the job even better and Microsoft themselves want to tap into some of the Wii's casual userbase. It's going agaisnt everything Microsoft are trying to achieve.


Yeah, but after TIP they're likely going to release new VPs. It's just a way of gaining popularity. It's not like a VP on the Wii is going to lower 360 sales or anything lol.

1) Rare is 1st party and part of Microsoft game studios.   That should be enough to settle any doubt.

2) Wii is in more competition with the 360 than the DS is.   There are more DS's than Wii's so this is a better way to gain popularity. 

3)Microsoft wants to tap into Wii's casual userbase, hence the rumoured motion controller, which Viva Pinata TIP is rumored to utilize.  

 

That's 3 strikes against Viva Pinata going to the Wii.

 

Unless the Rare rep knows that they are being brought out by Nintendo in the near future...
