I think Nintendo has been selling their consoles to mainly the Nintendo hardcore and the casuals but they aren't getting the other hardcore gamers which are going to the systems that dominate those kinds of games PS3 and 360. I also think it'll be even harder for the Wii to get those gamers in the future because of games like Grand Theft Auto 4 and literally dozens of others that'll likely attract even more of those gamers to the 360 and PS3. I think a lot of what you'll see from third parties for the Wii will be casual games, ported games with wii tacked on controls, and unique hardcore games that won't be on the 360 or PS3 because they likely wouldn't be able to compete or stand out like that will on the Wii. |
i have to humbly disagree. to a point yes i can see that happening via what i like to call the bandwagon effect.
but already you have games like:
elebits
jack and wicki
dewys adventure
bug island (although reviewed horrible but still...)
project hammer (rumored to be cancelled but still...)
disaster day of crisis
dq swords
re: umbrella chronicles
and i'm sure there's a couple i'm missing. but that's a great deal of 3rd party games that are already on deck not to mention the ones that are in development. maybe beyond that list you can say i'm being optimistic. but i think there's a lot more 3rd party REAL games you're going to see being announced or reported on come early next year. and also through the wii's life cycle.
to say that most devs are just going to turn out mainly casual friendly games i think is too much of a general rest on their laurels statement and just too much of a generalization. sure devs want to ride the band wagon but a lot of them are going to do what they do best and build games up from the ground and try to showcase them to the heavy install base. in my opinion anyway
