When will this Harry Potter game be released? Why? The movie got pushed back from November to around next summer. Critics who previewed the movie stated that some of the major scenes needed to be re-filmed, so they are going to do that...I think the article is on IGN, and I know it's on MSN.

lol. I thought you got banned for a year or something. Oh well...That whole "precious wii" comment was pretty hilarious. I think the Harry potter games have always been well made though. I've only played a couple of them, but they were really good.

As for them being developed first on the Wii, I think that's a step in the right direction. Wii owners are sick of having PS2 ports when we all know it's capable of much more.

I only like the GBA version which is a trun base RPG, the console ones have potential to be good if they improve on the motion and maybe add in wii speak as a mic for spells.

There's no need to praise games like this. Especially when there Harry Potter games...

Harry Potter games: Extremely bad or unpleasant.

And I would have prefered

develop on Wii

develop on PS3 and port to 360 ps2 psp

That way the Wii version could be designed around motion control. However, our preferences are unimportant.

Devlop on the Wii, port to everything else is the best business decision, and will produce the best games all round.

I was wondering if anyone else thought this.  Book to movie, can be good (Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia) or not (The Golden Compass).  Movie to game, 99.9999% fail.

Wii version of the last game was actually fun, definitely a 7.25-7.75... motion worked pretty good.
(Yes, I'm gonna keep using this video)
As for a Wii as the lead console:

The last game was "pretty good" - just needed polish. If they start with last years version, and sink another year of development into the title - it could be excellent.

(casting spells, and throwing stuff around with the Wiimote was heaps of fun).

PS - not sure if its been mentioned, but the "Half Blood Prince" movie has been delayed by 6 months till mid-2009 - and there is a good chance the games will be delayed too. Good news IMO, as even more time for polish/improvements.

Does this indicate that the publishers/developers believe that there is a larger proportion of their target market - kids and their parents on the Wii that the other two consoles?
