I meant target audience

I dont disagree with you at all, they could and should have made a DR for the ground up for Wii, I have no issue with that. THats why i find it silly when people want RE5 for Wii, if you want that game get the console its made for. THe energy and time it would take to get it to work on Wii would not be worth it, it would still be inferior to the HD version, now take that energy and time and make an original RE (not rail shooter) and its freaking christmas

Okey, I was just wondering :P

DR is a difficult game to port, that's why they should have changed the aesthetic while keeping the gameplay. I'd have welcomed a topdown view zombie infested mayhem, but as seen with GTA people prefer the 3D ones... And those RE5 comments came from the desperation of trials and promises from Capcom, it seemed they didn't want to make a new RE game for Wii, so people would just ask for table scraps, the port - whose time and energy spent on it would have been much less than a ground up prequel/sequel to RE5. It's not the Wii but the 3DS who is getting the latter game.

Bloody hell, been a while since I stepped in here, anyway...


I'm not the kind for discussions, but I'm trying really hard to sided with o_O.Q on this topic, but the more I read, the more I'm sided with Rol and I read this from the beginning. Yes, I'm a Wii only user and a Nintendo follower, but that doesn't mean I blatantly follow them (like I used to be). Forgive me for buying the only console I can afford since this gen started (hell, I'm still fighting my arse off to acquire a PS3 atleast).
This situation that the 3-parties make on the Wii is even senseless to me, even if I was able to be a multi-console owner.
I can understand the bussiness model that o_O.Q and the gang are defending. But when I see that being a nuisance in getting more potential and often neglegted profit (what 3-parties are ignoring and even damaging), I say it's about time that it needs some sort of remodelling or I see them as they have gone mad. padib just touched on this.
I commend on 3-parties that made the efforts of making a game for the Wii, but there is a fine line as to make a game playable and one just half-arsing it. How should I praise greater than the other, eh?

I dont agree, the time and money spent on a RE5 for Wii would not have been cheaper than an orginal game and been more profitable. IMHO, THe Wii would have received a weaker port a year later than the HDs. By that time most of the people who wanted the game would have gotten it for 360 or PS3, its not like they didnt know it was coming years in advance. Late ports rarely sell as well as the original game. THe engine for RE5 would not run on Wii, they would have to use RE4's and what would be lost in translation?? Eniemy AI count/intel, NPC partner/ intel, on screen enemies, cinema, no local multi or online multi, maybe some of those things maybe all, but something would be lost, you would be playing RE4 witha 5 skin. They would have to recreate the game from the ground up, thats like making a new game, that very little people would buy anyway, instead of doing that just make a new game, that way all those multiplat owners, yes there are alot of them, would buy it as well.

It seems that the OP is pissed because Just Dance funds games for HDs, while the Wii gets nothing??? That would be a great argument, if it were true, The fact is that there are more games published by Ubisoft on the Wii than 360 or PS3. 92 for Wii, 72 for 360 50 for PS3 according to there own websites. Now the math shows that the HD are in fact NOT getting all the games that the Wii gets and vice versa. OK, there is a lot of shovelware there, no denying, but there are also quite a few core games on there, Red Steel, NMH, Tenchu, Splinter Cell, TMNT, PoP series.Driver, Rayman, FarCry, Hawx, Ghost Recon, Shaun WHite. Hell, oustide of AC series and Rainbow Six i cant think of any Ubi IP that was on a HD console but did not appear on WIi in any form.
So, i ask what is the problem?? Just Dance funds HD games, It appears they also fund Wii games as well

The thing is, Ubisoft's best work is on the HD consoles, and by "best" work, I mean complete efforts (non-niche, quality, and promotion). Look at the Ubisoft games on the Wii:

• The first Red Steel, was garbage (and the second didn't get a marketing effort)
• All of Suda51's games are nice, and don't sell that much, so why would No More Heroes be any different?
• Splinter Cell, Driver, Far Cry, and Brothers in Arms are last gen ports
• They turned Rayman into a party game
• HAWX 2 on the Wii bears little resemblance to the PS3 and 360 versions

ok, thats true, but whatcha gonna do??? Its not like the majority of the Just Dance fans, give a damn about those other series anyway, so its not like they would be "offended" that the game they are buying is funding another game that they probably never heard of on a system they might not even own. As long as they are getting the next Just Dance they're happy

OK, i could see where your coming from, but my next question would be, If these games are so terrible, HOW are they making money??? Someone has to be buying them. Just Dance alone can't be that profitable. Actually it is kind of scary, they are able to do half assed games on WIi and still make a profit, is it any wonder why they are not trying?? They are a business, and if your getting money for not even trying then why would you try?? Im not saying i condone this, I dont, but that might be their thinking.

I thought it was both
