Forums - Nintendo - Two new WiiWare titles, video included.

This is the kind of developers that the Wii needs... developers who actually want to create good games and not only shovelware.

 

So far, I'm impressed with WiiWare games... this two games are from High Voltage Software: Animales de la Muerte (Animals from Death) and Gyrostarr... enjoy!

Gyrostarr was unveiled a couple days ago. Its been talked about a little here. I think it looks like a really fun game. Im not too sure about the other one though. I don't think I would invest in it.

Welcome to VGChartz, Fernando!

Thanks... I have been reading VGChartz since 2006, but I just recently began to post... I post a lot in Joystiq.

 

Sorry for my english, is not my primary language =p



Yup you can say that again Fernando loves to post in Joystiq. You will get flamed less here that is for sure.



Where the heck did High Voltage come from? I'd never heard of them, and suddenly they have two well produced Wii Ware games that have people talking and an FPS that blows practically every major third party developed Wii game out of the water technically.

Well bod. It seems like a company that spent years cutting their teeth on licensed games and other crap, and finally feel ready to make a name for themselves as a quality developer. Which is probably a lot easier to do on the Wii, a console which is both cheaper to develop for, and is being largely overlooked.

It was quite a gamble, but it looks like they just might be able to use the Wii to launch them into the big leagues. Smart thinking.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

That's what it looks like to me.

 Actually, the same thing goes for THQ. Rainbow Studios in particular. A lot of people look at their back history of racing game after racing game (some solid, some mediocre) and question how an action/adventure title like Deadly Creatures could possibly be good.

If you were a game developer who had been doing nothing but churning out racers for a decade and you had a chance to actually branch out, you would make the best effort you could possibly make, because you don't want corporate HQ to stuff you back into the smelly box you've been living in since the PS1.

I'm not saying that Deadly Creatures is going to be an eternal classic or anything, but I expect it will be a very solid effort with a metascore of 80+%

The landscape is changing.

hey aren't you fernando from joystiq?



I don't know if that animals game will be good or not but that video makes it look great.

Kill the crazy rabid animals to save the zoo! - crazy enough idea to be quite fun

 Mark my words the Wii will help some no name company rise to stardom.  If Conduit ends up bombing it won't be HV.  But with the lower dev costs and all the talk about third parties lack of success, sooner or later when some little developer puts out a great AAA title that sells well it'll get a lot more exposure simply for succeding on the Wii than it would otherwise.
