trestres said: @Onyx: Why couldn't they release this on disc for a low price like they did with MM9, say 20 dollars? They always seem to favour the HD consoles and leave the Wii aside. They could make a different game for WiiWare instead. It's their choice not to bring this game to the Wii and that's why I'm upset. Also if TvsC is getting released it means they have found a proper way of controlling it. So there should be no problems using the same control methods for this game. Capcom needs to step up in America when it comes to the Wii. Is it just me or most companies this gen are very confused about what to do or not to do on the Wii? I mean most Wii versions of multiplat games keep on getting delayed, cancelled, postponed, re thought, gimped down. It's about time devs start focusing on the Wii seriously, it's the fastest selling system of all times and it's being treated as if it was the worst one. I don't wanna buy another console as people suggested here, because it's not cheap to do so here and because I don't have enough time to play that many games. Logic would dictate that Wii should be getting 3rd party games, but that's not happening. Maybe I did choose the wrong console after all. |
I love the strawman you have built up here. Sven comments that the controls of the Wii are less than ideal and suddenly the reason the Wii isn't getting any ports is because Sven can't find a good control scheme! You completely ignore the fighters they are releasing with the control scheme you proposed for no apparent reason. Perhaps they took a look at the cost of a port job and figured it wouldn't be worth selling it because not enough people have a classic controller currently. I know it is a ridiculous concept, but only a certain percentage of Wii owners are going to have the controller which limits the instal base at a much lower point. Consequently the projected number of units sold goes down and you get a port that is not financial feesible.
Your suggestion to put MvC2 on a disc is also laughable at best. It incurs a non-trivial cost in production and shipping of the game on top of the already existing cost of development. If this was a relatively low budget port of the game then it is easy to suspect that they couldn't set the cost low enough to still reasonable expect to turn a profit on the project. Without sufficient return on investment there is absolutely no point in actually making the game.
I also love that you call me a blind Nintendo fanboy. Here I am defending Capcom for not putting the game on the Wii while you attack them creating whatever reason is easiest for you to use as an assault against them as the reason for the game not getting ported. I can acept that sometimes my favorite console is not optimized for certain games. The wiimote + nunchuck combo is a terrible set-up for a 6 button fighter. There is no two ways around that. So long as that remains true there will only be a certain percentage of Wii owners who would even consider buying the game. Suck it up and move on. If you don't like the games your system gets then get a different system.
OT: Hopefully Capcom will explain whats going on soon. I am half tempted to pick this game up just to round out the list of fighters I have for my 360.
