I don't see any difference between that list and xbox live. You have shooters...classics like bomberman, puzle games like tetris and Mojipittan and a few newly developed titles which xbox live has a plethora of. There is no reason for a developer to attack the quality of xbox live if Wiiware is offering those games.

I am not saying it is better. I am saying that a lot of developers seem to think it will be pretty profitable.  XBLA had 20 or so games the first 6 months, but from 8 or 9 different publishers.  Who knows if the games will be better or not.

Developers are not pure and mystical beings both holy in judgment and wisdom, they are ordinary people with strong opinions and biases just like yourself.

I do agree that it is relatively hard to find games I want to play on XBLA, but aren't these news sites getting tired of developer for console X grumbling about console Y stories? I am.

Of course, gaming websites should stop reporting what game developers say and talk about something like the US Presidential election instead. Yes, that would make so much more sense....


All I said was that I wish they would stop running articles about what a developer for one console thinks about development on an entirely different console. Now, if they ran stories on XBLA developers who were unhappy with XBLA (or WiiWare developers unhappy with WiiWare), I'd find them more credible.

My ribs hurt... ROFL

But you know you shouldn't be dissing on the Christ child... You might offend somebody...

On a side note, I can't wait until "Pokemon Ranch" is released in the states...

Interesting the quotes don't allude to any actual developer, and even then they don't allude to actually deving on XBLA before bashing the serivce, and praising an untested service.

Will be neat to see how the battle ensues once WW is launched, but I don't think it's going to be as big as XBLA is, unless the Wii's online attach ratio surpasses Live by 2:1.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

There is one good game on XBLA, and that's a poker game.

Bill Gates can suck my dick. I know Nintendo will make a better job of this.
If you think there is one good title on XBLA and that title is a poker game, you are not a gamer. You don't even like games and should really get off this site and find a different hobby. You embarass yourself with that statement.
