In my recent search through the web I found this interesting information from the past.It's long gone now but I found it pretty good to post it here.So Media Molecule on Nintendo!Big possibilities could come for them if that deal was made.They have all these platformers but more variety wouldn't hurt.Maybe one could influence the work of the other too.So what's your take on this?Would it be a good move?What would the results be if this happened?

To be honest i doubt a game as online focused as LBP would have worked overly well on the Wii :/ Their online services are pretty mediocre these days, back then they were just embarrassing.



Yes they should have a done a lot of work in their online network to offer Media Molecule the services they wanted.Visuals wise it would be pretty interesting how the game could have ended up too.

LBP on PSP actually looked pretty decent, so I believe a Wii version could actually be impressive. But the online infrastructure would be a major issue. LBP without online becomes pretty bland.



Is it online play or just online level-sharing, though? The sharing seems to be the bigger function, and that's no real difficulty from a networking perspective. Plenty of Wii games had custom stage sharing.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Even some Ds (Iware?) games had level sharing. The Mario vs. DK games had it.

The smaller psp screen really helped to make the visuals look pretty good.On a bigger tv visual design would be more complicated to cope with.
