Forums - Nintendo - A theory of why KH3 or FFVII remake will be on Wii

What i find funny is that somehow the notion that most or nearly all 360 and PS3 gamers are hardcore or seem to know about gaming while the Wii audience is apparently only casual and casuals are never interested in hardcore games. If a game is done well on any console it will sell well, along with advertising. Zack and Wiki failed on the Wii because not an established franchise no advertising and the3e fact that it wasnt a casual but not a hardcore game.

I personally think FF7 would be great if released on any platform and make SE money the real question is which would make them the most after developer costs and where the market is. They have to make that decision years in advance and stick to it or lose more money. Also I think that their FF7 plans have beenon hold for a little bit bc of the Ps3 and Wii performance. Sorry no 360 love. Relating to KH that would fit into the Wii image well.

Also the vast majority of the PS2 owners have yet to migrate to a system, they need a reason to and it will just take time so to argue that PS3 auto has that market via the hardcore is false same goes with the Wii market since 120M consoles have yet to be sold this gen it is not certain who took it. Japan is the only market where FF imo will actually be able to change anything but if it comes too late nothing will help the PS3 to win. If that happens then essentially the FF series has died if SE gives no Wii love bc then they might feel gimped by SE especially if they put not so great games on the system meaning FF will and can die.

I don't think FF7 on the wii will change much ecxept for a few million wii's to be sold to people who really want to play the remake... then sell their wii again.
it's just not the type of game that attracts wii players.


Do you have any proof for this? There's plenty of "hardcore" games on the Wii (Metroid, NMH, Zelda, SMG, etc.) yet I don't see people selling their Wiis in droves.

@shan

lol. And DQ IX is a step back because the DS is weaker than the PS2...right? And Megaman 9 is a step back becasue it's 8-bit? Really, it's not about the graphics. It's about expanding the audience.

 

ehhh do i need proof to state my opinion in a hypothetical thread?

i just don't think square will gain something more than just a lot of sales of this particular game.

And it does not matter on which console they will release it.  But there will always be people who will buy a console just for that remake. (then the wii is ofcourse the cheapest option for us gamers)



but look, like I said:

the different audiences

to actually sell FFVII on the PS3, SE can't get away with ok gfx, because the customers who bought the ps3 don't think it's upto par,

while the Wii customers would have played the SE games for the DS , they'd most likely love FFVII for the Wii

it would just sell more, and cost SE less money, since a PS3 version would mean: OBER1337 GFX dude! llol!1!!!1



KH3 makes sense. FF7 remake? not so much.

 remember...this is a 'what if' question...a theory

IF a FFVII remake would be made, where would it most likely go?

I'd hope so.

Otherwise someone could say "I don't think PS3 will get FF7, because if it did a meteor would crash into Japan destroying the world... and Square sells it's games to the world. So they need those people alive."

without being called on it.

DQ will be on the system with biggest installbase in Japan but FF on the best system. FF games are famous for graphics and its one of the reason its the biggest JRPG. FF7 had best graphics of its time so fans will expect HUGE leap which is not posible on Wii.



@shan

I don't think it was the best looking game of it's time. Characters with Popeye's arms weren't cute at all

So Materia is spinach, not energy?



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
