 thats right, Tenchu 4 is supposed to the the first in a trilogy of Tenchu games coming out on the Wii.

A lot of Jap. developers have started to see the economics of developing a game for the Wii.

360/PS3 development suffers from heavy investements and a  sub-par Jap. market for HD consoles.

The thread title is misleading. The platforms of the other two Tenchu games have not been announced yet.

Old news.

wii is following the same path as the ds, ds now has the best japanese support only ports and dogz babyz from western developers, i see same thing for wii

Great, Japanese devs will develop most games on the Wii. Too bad for the HD consoles, it will sink them more than they already are.

Do we know whether the game is any good and, therefore, whether this is a good thing?

Well, maybe Tenchu 4 will only be time exclusive with sequels not for Wii if this game does not sell? I hope the Japanese install base buy this game good!

@Shameless: It may or may not end up being 'great', but it's developed by the guys who did the original Tenchu, which was apparently awesome--much better than the subpar recent games. But the real point is that we're starting to see third parties put real stock in the Wii--announcing that the next three games in a known franchise will be Wii-exclusive definitely signifies something.

TenchuZ sucked.  I hope the Wii version returns to the old school quality of the series.
