Any PC or PlayStation 3 users who've checked out the delightful trailer for forthcoming Xbox Live Arcade platformer Fez have justifiable cause to feel more than a little jealous.

Well, developer Polyton has offered a ray of hope that the forthcoming title might be going multi-platform in the future.

"Right now we're only concentrating on XBLA, which makes the most sense for us at the time," the game's co-creator Phil Fish told Destructoid.

"PC and PSN would also make a lot of sense, but in my opinion, WiiWare just wouldn't be worth our time and effort. It's a dismal system that I don't want to deal with neither as a customer, nor a developer. No demos? F*** off."

He apparently went on to clarify that he was aware that Nintendo had recently started offering a limited WiiWare demo service, but pointed out that many devs aren't offered the opportunity or, if they are, it's only for a short period of time.

Fish also ruled out a 3DS port. "That would just have to be a completely different game. If I'm going to make a game that uses stereoscopic graphics, it's gonna be built from the ground up for that."

Well as Reggie said, he's not interested in garage developers.  We have hydroventure, bit trip games and the like, it's not like we're in need of this arrogants sod's games.

I like their attitude.

Wait.. there is a Fez game?

cool...

Fuck you too, if you want to be so mature about it.

*spills the coffee on the screen*

*wishes it off*

* still laughs*

did he really say wiiware could fuck off? cause if so man not professional at all.

Unprofessional, but understandable. If and when I develop any downloadable games, the last place I'd want them to end up is WiiWare. Its very unforunate, too. Nintendo could of easily had the best downloadable system of all 3, since they have the leverage of their massive back catalog of IPs, but instead, they hamstrung the platform every way they could.

For them, though, I am sure the comments won't cost them anything. Fez on XBLA will likely be the #1 or #2 game this year, which means it will likely outsell any and every WiiWare game made in a few months, tops.

Nintendo's whole 'Garage Developers' stance is killing them. There have been some memorable titles from 2 and 3 man teams this generation like Poker Smash and Super Meat Boy.

Hooray fanboy devs, slowly filling the industry with their hate. =P

Yep. And the 6 Bit. Trip Games, and Hydroventure, and Cave Story, and World Of Goo, ART STYLE...

Oh wait, they're all on WiiWare

My point is, his stance seems a bit arrogant to me, something we'd expect to hear maybe in '08, but not now. OK, you hate Nintendo, we get it. But, there are some great games for WiiWare, and, of course, VC, if you put the effort in...

Oh, I believe the best selling WiiWare game is indeed World Of Goo (or Bit.Trip RUNNER?), with over 2 million sales. So the customers are there, these devs just don't want to work with it
