Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

I saw a Driver: San Francisco advert on telly the other day. At the end they only showed the game cases for the PS3 and 360 version. Bewildering - it's not as though it would have cost any more money to include the Wii case in the same shot.


the problem with this is, that im sure they ONLY showed PS360 footage, so if they had shown Wii boxart, it could have been like false advertising, now your probably thinking, "who, by now would be dumb enough to mistake PS360 footage for Wii footage?" But i have seen it happen

I love the Nintendo trolling in this thread. The game sold bugger all on all platforms, and considering both the likelihood that the Wii and 3DS versions will have better legs, and the miniscule cost of porting PS360 games to the WiiDS compared to the cost of making the game in the first place, I would say that Ubisoft regrets making a driver game at all as much as they regret the Wii and 3DS versions in particular.


Neither the 3DS or Wii versions are ports, they're made from the ground of for each platform. Check out the Wii ign review:

to add to this, yes it sold like crap on PS360, but it REALLY bombed on Wii and 3DS, not even  close to the HDs. Better legs??? Are you high on crystal meth?? You can probably count on one hand how much Wii games outlegged their HD counterparts. SWFU1 and nope even that was outlegged by PS3 eventually. I dont think ANY Wii game outlegged the HD counterpart. And how is anyone trolling Nintendo?? By saying these kinds of games dont sell as well as the HD 1s? Thats a damn fact. If i say dance games dont sell well on PS3 im i trolling Sony?? i will agree that Ubi probably regrets the whole thing

Didn't even know there was a DS and Wii version...

The problem is, people who wanted Driver San Fransisco would have gotten it on the HD systems. The problem(s) with Renegade 3D is that

1. They are releasing it close to the release of Star Fox 64 3D. (Why not release it closer to launch when they released all those half-assed ports?)

2. From some of the gameplay I've seen, the game looks pretty barebones
.
3. No advertising. They could at least get Nintendo to show it in one of their commercials.

The Wii/3DS userbase deserves some of the blame here, but most of the blame should go to Ubisoft.

I never heard of these games :/ I I living under a rock? Why are they so important?

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Driver won't, but others certainly have (e.g. the LEGO games, Sonic Unleashed, one of the Tiger Woods games I think).  Did you mean in a specific genre?

Bad games get bad sales in this case.
