Forums - Nintendo - The wii needs more western support.

I'm leaving because I gaurantee if I post a couple more times here someone will ban me.

Look at you, "I can say anything I want because he's on thin water with me and will get banned if he says anything".

True, I never said besides or including PC, but considering this thread is in NINTENDO discussion, which makes CONSOLES and not PC'S, it's reasonable to assume I meant out of the 3 consoles, because I myself agree that Mouse/Keyboard is the best for FPS, and is why I buy my FPS's for PC.

There you go again claiming your opinion as fact.

Well I think you have a point there. Wii is dominated by Japanese games, not that this is a bad thing. Back when Rare developed for Nintendo, they took care of the Western side of things. It was a pretty effective combination IMO. I still think its a shame that they moved to MS. They've kind of floundered under their ownership, nothing like the Rare of old.

I agree that the Wii is suitable for the FPS genre, although I wouldn't go as far as to say that it is more precise than a mouse keyboard setup, it can be just as fun, and it's certainly better than using analogue sticks. I think that Links Crossbow Training really demonstrates the potential of the FPS genre on the Wii when it's well executed. Most games thus far have implemented FPS controls very poorly, and before I played LCT, I had my doubts too, so I understand why some disregard Wii as a FPS console.

I think Western RPG's with its emphasis on real time combat would be quite conducive to motion controls. Hopefully we will see more Western developers jump ship as time goes on and the Wii grows from strength to strength, much like the DS and the third party support it enjoys today, reletive to its first few years on the market.

The PC is not a console, and you keep going against what everyone says, even developers, out of the 3 consoles it's pretty much universally accepted that the 360 has the best FPS controller, and its universally accepted that the Wii is a casual machine.

You just have fantasies of what you think the Wii is and can be.

I'm going to leave this thread before I get banned again because of you.

 


Do you have a single link to back this up? Where is this universal acceptance of dual-analog being a good control scheme for a FPS coming from? Your other assertions are clearly fantasy so I won't even address them.

I agree. Maybe nintendo will try to solve this problem , and buy a good western developer. I could also see them use retro more than they have in the past.

I think the wii is getting 3rd party support, but they seem to be all Japanese. Yeah I like Japanese developed games , but I also like western developed games too. One example is the lack of fps' on the wii.The wii has the second and in some cases the first best fps controls , but nobody is utilizing them. I also see an absence of wrpgs on the wii. We see all of these jrpgs and some srpgs coming to the wii , but I haven't seen one wrpg. I could get wrpgs on my 360 or pc, and maybe some on the ps3, but I would like to see what they could do with the wii mote for exploration. I also want more fps' with these controls. So when people say the wii is lacking 3rd parties I think they mean western 3rd parties

Opinion.
Lie.


Yeah... You're right it's lacking Western support although it's selling the most software and hardware in the west.... What the heck man are you serious when creating these topics or are you typing with your eyes closed?

 

@Username2324

About the Wii controlls... Although the 360 controller is made for FPS, and is better in some peoples opinion... Many people are now realizing that the Wii Controlls can work quite well for these types of games. Sure... Most Wii FPS games haven't quite got it spot on yet, but to me, MP:3 has the Best FPS controlls of any game I've played. It's just my opinion.

@sc94597
Wii doesn't always have the best controls, or second best... or always third best. Thats just your opinions... And I happen to share that opinion with you.

Wii needs more support all around. And just any support. Serious support.

 What?



@Username2324 : The controls of MOH:H2 say hi.

If you want to see how amazing the Wii-mote/nunchuck are for FPS, try that game and then try going back to a 360. The graphics on the wii are nowhere close to the 360, but the controls far surpass it. (IMnot soHO)



BAM! There it is!

 The only way you'll get banned is because of yourself.  Don't blame someone else.  Take some responsibility for yourself.

 

OT: Hardcore, casual, western, or Japanese... these are the games that will follow the marketplace regardless of the console.  The Wii might not see as many as other consoles, but I think it'll get it's share in the future.  The longer these sales trends continue the more diverse the library will become.

I think western support is good enough and will no doubt increase. I think better quality is of more pressing concern.
