Oh? And what casual games would those be? Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Monster Hunter 3, Okami, and Zack & Wiki represent their major efforts on the Wii so far. None of those (least of all the insanely challenging Zack & Wiki) could be classified as casual. |
RE4 was a direct port. It was a savvy move to port it but it hardly involved any risk on their part. I would consider RE:UC a somewhat casual game... after all, it is a rail shooter. Not exactly hardcore stuff there.
Z&W and MH are definitely not casual... Which is why I clarified that not all games going to the Wii are casual but casual games are more likely to succeed on the Wii than PS3/360. I also mentioned that for games like Z&W and MH, they're rather limited in mass appeal... Which also makes sense to put them on the Wii. Companies like Capcom don't have to worry that selling 400k or less will bomb when their development cost is 1/2 of that of the 360 or PS3.
