Forums - Nintendo - Do you expect any TGS announcements from 3rd parties for the Wii?

Looks like there wasn't even a single announcement or game showcased. The only one was IE Strikers (announced in June but first showcased here), but I'm thinking Level 5 fucked that up by changing the genre from RPG to sports game.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

OMG tres, how could you forget Square Enix's Babysitting Mama?! :P

In all seriousness, there's more Wii games than just IE Strikers at TGS, but IE Strikers is the only one seeming to get any real coverage in the west.

Yeh, the media also isn't helping, there's no coverage for any Wii games at all. Lol baby sitting mama, how could I forget that lolz.

Where's DQX btw? I'm thinking the game will be lucky to get a 2012 release. Look at Versus, the game was announced ages ago and just recently we got the first gameplay footage and the game doesn't even have a solid release window :S

And what do you think about IE Strikers? Will it be as big as its DS counterparts or smallers due to the genre change?

I think DQX and Versus will both hit in Q4 2011 in Japan, both probably holiday games.  DQX may even launch after Wii2 imo.  Agito (another almost vaporware game) will probably release earlier in summer or fall, unless it gets moved to 3DS/PSP2.

I think IE Strikers will be lucky to crack 200k after the genre change.  Had it been an RPG (either remake or side game), I could've seen 500k plus... really, really bad move by Level-5 imo.  At least they'll probably be able to reuse the models/engine for IE4 on 3DS.



So the show is now officially over, any announcement I missed?

Tomy announced a new Naruto fighter from 8ing (Geiktou Ninja Taisen Special).  Looks like a callback to the older, more popular GC games, 1-4 person WFC play, releases in December.

That's... about it for entirely new stuff. :/

Well, I think this gives us a general idea of where the Wii is heading, I honestly cannot believe only one new game was announced for the leeader console in the biggest gaming Japanese event of the year. And the game isn't even big...
