Why 3rd Parties Can’t (And Probably Won’t) Succeed on the Wii

I am very curious to see how these non-GH multi-plat titles sell this year. That should be interesting.

Zen: several of those exclusives look terrible in those screenshots. Cute that Alone in the Dark is listed Wii/360 just because it's delayed for PS3.

But like I said, I'm curious how a game like Star Wars will fair on each system considering the differences between the versions.

 

Here comes the pessimist. Hello!

Those games all look great, as far as I know, just look at the videos. Besides what makes the Wii unique its the control not the graphics. How come you expect Wii to produce PS3/Crysis level graphics. I hope you were being sarcastic.

Star Wars, Conduit, Fatal Frame, and others look good on Wii. Some of those other games look terrible in the screenshots that Zen showed. Graphics only don't matter when the Wii gets criticized. When a new game is announced and only screenshots are shown, the first (and only) thing people say is how good they look. That happened with Star Wars, Fatal Frame, and Conduit. Whatever the system, graphics show a level of quality from the developer. Perhaps it is just the screens, but Fragile, de Blob, Spyborgs, and Rygard don't look good. The quality of the game is what matters, and those aren't showing up very often. Everyone should be buying Boom Blox, though.

I'm not advertising them. I'm just listing them. I'm sure that if you were doing the list you would pick the best photos available for each game, but not me. First ones I can find. I'm not a marketing agency. This is a pointless line of discussion, also, btw.

As for Alone in the Dark, planned or not, it's a timed multiplat exclusive for the Wii60, as I couldn't very well list it as a complete multiplat without catching flack from the other end.
