Forums - Nintendo - Attention: Third parties who refuse to push the Wii's hardware in games...

The problem is, not many of the games are going to be big sellers. It is a shame, but artistic style can actually restrict how much a game sells. Look at Okami, if it had realistic graphics I am sure it would have sold a lot better.

By the way, what game is the 3rd and 4th screenshot from? It looks fantastic.

All we need are good games wether for the wii, ps3 or xbox360. I want less HAZE and more LBP, MGS4, THE Conduit. I crave good games.

KH 1 and 2 were some of the best looking ps2 games of all time they pushed the hardware like every other FF game. The game looks bloody brilliant in scope, scale, and detail, the audio is surreal with anamazing soundtrack if only the controls were a bit better.

 I actually think the problem with Okami is that there wasn't enough copies released. I for one cannot find one ANYWHERE.

 

This is in Australia. So not sure if all of AUS is the same as my region.

Well, we can all agree artistic games are nice... But a game the pushes the Wii's hardware is always welcome.

Whoa, I cant stop looking at your sig... It's distracting...

I know its first party, but still. I love the Art direction of the Metroid Prime series. And its not because metroid is my favorite series.

A lot of those artistic games don't sell because of marketing or lack thereof.  Why is realism a big deal for these gamers?

Soriku - those SF shots, whats that from? Did I miss a SF announcement?

Wow, this made me interested in the Kizuna. It looks great (reminds me of Shadow of Collosus (?).

I think a lot of it is due to that realistic games require a big budget so why make a game with a large budget but in the end not advertise it?

For artistic games they don't cost much to make, and hence why they don't market them very well when they can make a profit without much struggle most of the time.

But what I think is these companies should advertise these games well (as long as they're a large company. If they're a small company I understand, but larger companies have NO excuse to not market these games) just so they make enough profit...and then some.

Atlus and NIS America have a good excuse for not advertising their games but Capcom dropped the ball when they didn't market Okami and let the game sell poorly.  Therefore, a lack of Okami 2 is at the fault of Capcom, not gamers.  They could learn a lot from Sony as they made a marketing campaign for Shadow of the Colossus and that sold quite well(even though many though it deserved even better sales).
