err.. ok SC: I could of sworn I stated that Crystal Tools is a multiplatform engine Wii included... I don't know if you missed that part... or maybe I said it in another thread... there was a lot of FFCC refferencing last night.
@bdbdbd: Thanks for clearing that up... he missed that part I guess.
@trestres: It takes a while to make those kinds of games, Square invested far too much into HD, and the Wii is just so out of the way, they must be hauling ass to get back on track. It doesn't matter what Naroma or Wada wan't they voice what their investors want. Should Wada ignore the Wii he would be sued and fired and probably not in that order. At this point being an ivestor in SE I'd be looking at how Nintendo is doing what they are doing; this goes beyond just the generalization that they are releasing expanded audience games, I'd be looking at how they made the new Mario or the new Zelda, what are the values those games exercise and then mix and match with SE's values.
The problem is HD values arent Wii values, but that's probably going to be put to the test with Dead Rising, are the values of that HD game marketable on the Wii. Square want to get on the Wii wagon, and they are hurting bad to do it, the thing is they already invested millions into HD gaming, the point is to see some return on that.
I'm hoping that these investors have opened their eyes and stopped following memes and investor response, they should understand the gaming industry is very similar to the movie industry, the consumers are the ones they must please and not the producers or designers.
Take that into context with what I said above regarding Wada's want to go HD and understand he loves money.
