Forums - Nintendo - Next 'Harry Potter' Made For Wii First, Other Consoles Second

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?

I had such optimism for OotP, given the Wii's controls, but I've heard it wasn't very good.

I remain very optimistic for this one, however. I LOVE Harry Potter, but I've yet to play a single game. I hear the Chamber of Secrets was the best.



not only in the last few days have we learned that Ea have put Wii platform first for this game but they also announce that the wii will be the first to get the new tennis IP and it will use motion plus. They're also working on and they worked with Logitech to bring the first Wii forced Feedback wheel.

Seems EA have acknowledged that they now feel the Wii is this gens winner.

Well considering how well the control scheme is suited for wand use, its a no-brainer that  EA would actually put some serious effort into the Wii version. Will be interesting to see if the gameplay improves from the last version.

Agreed, it's a no-brainer indeed. But many things related to the Wii are no-brainer and still some people can't see them. So that's why many people expressed their happiness for the Wii receiving more and more support even if they ain't interested in this game.

"Harry Potter" is a series dictated by the most popular console. First, PS One. Then, PlayStation 2. For a while, Xbox 360. But now, Wii has taken over.

Making Wii the lead platform was the first decision that "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" executive producer Jonathan Bunney made when approaching the latest Wizard game

Heh, finally Wii is starting to shine in 3rd party developers eyes.

Not really. What the Wii needs is exclusives.

 

 

Are u serious? The Wii has many more exclusives than Xbox360 and PS3 combined.

 

Uh, no it doesn't. Unless you're taking about crappy mini game fests, that is. Personally, I try not to boast about having Game Party as an exclusive on Wii.

You have to count games like Call of Duty 4 that aren't on Wii but on PS360. That's what he was talking about. The Wii needs more games like MadWorld and Conduit and DeBlob.

There's no need to spin numbers your way, just accept the lack of games on Wii.

 



# of games above 75 on Metacritic (including downloadable):

360: 241     DS: 144

PS3: 152     PSP: 126

Wii: 85

I could have sworn "exclusive" meant on only 1 platform . . . 

And since a good gaming PC is around the same price as the PS360 you have to count in that, too.

CoD4 is anything but exclusive.

Joy of the 360 is all I have to do is wait 6 months for the superior PC version. So far 7 of the 360's top 10. 

I definitely agree that there's a ton of shovelware on the Wii and most of those "exclusives" are trash, but it's the only system where 4 people can sit around a TV and have fun together consistently.

Watch the spin yourself there, sizzlechest.
