I been saying the wii will be the japanese game console of choice all along. It will get some western games too.

Then explain to me why the 360 is getting all the japanese support when its selling at a very slow rate in japan.

Looks like Japanese exclusives are just around the corner for wii. This analyst sure was accurate with his predictions.



PSN- williwod

Remember, there are no stupid questions. Just stupid people- Mr Garrison

I agree with the post somewhat. Here are a few things that I want to add though. While the wii won't get big western exclusives from large companies, I see alot of smaller western devs supporting the wii such as high voltage. Now right now they might be small, but they have the potential to be big. We've seen this both on the ps1 and ps2, where small devs became big. So I will stay by my statement that the wii will get some western games. Next Gen I expect a console that has both if Nintendo continues with their success.

Isn't Spyborgs a big American exclusive on the Wii?

I think they mean big existing franchises.

 In most cases:

  1. Start the developing the game for the 360 and PS3
  2. Release the game on 360 while still tweaking everything to work on the PS3
  3. Add the extra content on the PS3 to make up for the delay
  4. Release the game on the PS3 like the "definite version"

While there are exclusives like Lost Oddisey, some are time-exclusives while the PS3 version is in the works with extra features.....

Sound like using the Xbox 360 in favor of the PS3. Many game developers will follow this pattern to get the extra sales making it "multiplatform"

Tell me this 360 japanese support you speak of. If you actually look the wii has more jrpg exclusives than the 360, and also has other japanese games(tenchu IV, and Fatal Frame to name a few). This is without mentioning the microsoft moneyhatting.

 



Well every Japanese console gots his own Japanese games exclusives d'uh...

Soriku: and getting some main series games (KH, DQ, and Tales)

Possible but when SO 4 was announced for X360 I am pretty sure Sony is standing there also with a bag of money to be assure KH and DQ will be on the PS3.

Soriku: I think the Wii will be the home of original ideas that may turn into big (not FF or DQ big obviously - but still get sa good fanbase on them) games. Personally, for new Japanese IPs, the Wii is pretty much a haven for them. Thank God for companies like MMV.

Hope they will all not turn out in games like Opoona..
