The above two comments do not make any sense. If publishers are indeed this stupid then they need to go out of business.

Call of Duty:World at War is selling very well on the Wii. I guess this title is going to be ignored like the sales of Nintendo's own core titles and the sales of Capcom's core titles, Resident Evil 4 Wii and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

 

Whats up with the comment about major I.P.s coming to the wii?
Check his top 10 list?

His list includes Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3 and Mirror's Edge as the only big I.P.s. The other games are all already on the wii...

Is he saying 1 of those is gonna be designed for the wii? or a similar type of game?



awww so the fatal frame one is still not official

It is for Europe.

From this list I'd say Mirror's Edge has the best chance, followed by Dead Space. Both were dissapointments in sales for EA. Bethesda can't even be bothered to provide a good PS3 version of the game, let alone a Wii one, Valve doesn't even have a PS3 version of L4D.



I'd put my money on Dead Space as there are supposed to be more dark games coming, and the survival horror genre seems to be flocking to the Wii for some reason.

i wonder what the "dark games" and "major ips" are?



I hope Retro have revived Raven Blade. Would be cool.

Clue #1:  It's one of the following games: Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3 and Mirror's Edge.  I'm going to rule out Left 4 Dead based on Gabe Newell denying any Wii project, despite loving the platform.  That leaves 3.

Clue #2:  Matt said "Major IP" - not new IP with mediocre sales.

Clue #3:  The Oblivion Engine has been ported to Wii, as reported by IGN in '07.

"Today Emergent Game Technologies, makers of the Gamebryo engine powering popular current games like Oblivion and the upcoming Fallout 3, announced a version of the middleware is now available for the Wii."  http://wii.ign.com/articles/819/819586p1.html

 

As weird as it sounds, I think Wii is getting Fallout 3.

 

Edit:  I just realized it said major ips - plural!  Not only that, but publishers is plural as well.  It has to be more than Bethesda - EA is in on it as well.  I have a hunch it's Dead Space, since that is the #1 title on Matt's list - why else would he reference it?
