That is a ridiculous sentiment. Saying "you must not want this game if you're not willingn to sink in a couple of hundred extra dollars to play it" is not defensible as a statement or as a position.

Capcom's reluctance to port their fighters this gen baffles me in general. I mean this is the same company that whored SF2 to about every platform under the sun (even the Master System and original Game Boy!), who managed to squeeze SFA2 on to the SNES (complete with load times, lol), and they can't be bothered to bring SF4 to the best selling console (Wii) in history? Or TVC to the HD twins, who's audiences just bought 3m copies of their last fighter? Or *anything at all* to the best selling games system in history (DS)? REALLY? :/

So many missed opportunities...

Correct me if I'm wrong but this genre doesn't perticurly sell well on the wii....Even tetsunoko sold rather horribly imo....maybe capcom see it as a useless investment..but who knows, they might announce a wii version in the future

Tatsunoko sold better than Capcom expected because nobody expected it to push the big numbers.

So yeah maybe capcom doesn't expect THIS to push the big numbers also so they are not gonna bother with it?

You're not following me - though your logic wouldn't work anyway since a port of MvC3 isn't going to be as expensive as making TvC from the ground up.

Do you know why they didn't expect Tatsunoko to sell big? I'll give you a hint: the question answers itself

You're wrong.  Smash Brawl is the best selling fighter in history.  TVC is exceeding Capcom's expectations, and on pace to outsell what MVC2 managed on DC, Xbox and PS2.  Even licensed stuff like the Naruto and DBZ fighters are doing extremely well on Wii.  Even niche releases like GGXAC and the SNK Anthologies have done "okay" on Wii, comparable to what they did on PS2.

ok please give me the numbers on good fighting titles on the wii, then let's compare it to the HD twins to see if this genre really is selling relatively bad on the wii or not...guilt gear, tetsunoko, shattered blade, Naruto shippuuden, dragon ballz etc does not sell well compared to the HD twins as far as I know...

maybe, just maybe, this isn't a genre that is popular on the wii? and I know you will bring up the smash bro argument to this...but that game is VERY different to games like SF4, Blazblue, Capcom vs., Tekken etc...I 'personally' don't even consider it to be a fighter cuz for me it's a party brawler with a lot of star power (A LOT of fun too btw I may add)

It is not at all ridiculous to want a game but not the hardware - there's nothing inherently wrong with wishing that you could get a game on hardware that you already own. That's not ridiculous, that's just preferring not to spend money you don't have to. The very intuitive nature of the statement is why your proposed sentiment is ridiculous! It is an intrinsic point.

I imagined you didn't sit around waiting, but if you didn't wish that you had the option to play those games on your hardware then you were just ignoring the quality of those games. It's a sentiment as old and as fierce as the console wars:

Your frustration is misplaced and immaterial. People wishing that they could play games that are on other systems is not new, it's not novel to this generation, and it's not unreasonable. Feeling entitled to those games is unreasonable, but that's not new to this generation either and nobody in this topic is really expressing that. The guy you replied to certainly wasn't implying that, and your response did not imply that you thought he was, so ... well I think you need to stand back and reassess what about this upsets you, and whether or not it actually should.

Uh

Tenkaichi Budokai 3 sold better than any DBZ games on the HD twins, to my knowledge, Tatsunoko is beating the Hell out of both expectations and MvC sales on older consoles, and oh yeah

SMASH BROTHERS

God. Listen. Tatsunoko didn't rock the charts because nobody knows what Tatsunoko is.

The few entries that the Wii has had sold very well for what they were.
