Forums - Nintendo - Will the Wii ever get...

El Duderino on 02 February 2009

Why would I defend the Wii... did it ever need to be defended ??? I´m not going to be the small weak guy trying to come off as a hero protecting the huge girl that could crush anybody anyway...

Yeah a good WRPG would be great... also the controlles would be great for a Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape style game... I just don´t think the good WRPG makers see the Wii as their target audience ATM... but sooner or later someone is bound to make a good one that fits the Wii and its audience...

I don't care about other popular fighting games if I have smash bros.

Wii owners don't need realistic car racing games.

We are all big boys who can drive and afford our own nice cars rather than having to pretend.

:P

 

You could have realistic looking cars on last-gen systems and for some reason, people are like "OH MY GOSH GRAN TURISMO 5 LOOKS AMAZING" even though it looks like Burnout 3 on PS2.

Unfortunately you need the W to get a WRPG, and a lot of W's would rather perish, it seems, than make games for Wii



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

A good Star Fox game may fit the bill of aerial combat nicely.

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made.  I won't open my unworthy mouth.

Horror games have no problem on the wii.

Car racing sims? I doubt it but who knows. The same for flisght sims.

WRPGS? well western developers are too damn proud to make games for the wii so no I don't think so. Maybe one in the future.

Fighting games, the wii has many but the big ones (tekken, soul calibur, street fighter). IU do believe that sooner or later we'll se one of two of them coming to the wii. I think is unevitable.

Hockey games? I think that EA is developing one isn't?

And well I doubt we'll see "realistic" games on the wii because it's philosophy is fun over realism. Which is fine with me in must of cases. I would love to see Resident evil 5 on the wii, though =(

Wii has no philosophy with regard to realism...

Nintendo does, but Wii as a product doesn't. Wii has a philosophy of graphics being "good enough", and it has a family, social philosophy. But realism is just as possible as it was with all the last gen systems.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Guilty Gear: Accent Core is on the Wii, Tusanoku vs Capcom is importable for those outside of Japan.

I have one too many horror games, RE:UC is scarier than the ones I have, I don't even remember their names, they sucked that bad.

Racing... Cruisn... never mind - wasn't Ferrari Challenge released on the Wii?

The only thing I'm upset about though is the lack of Devil May Cry on my Wii, I enjoyed that game - granted No More Heroes was better in most regards but Devil May Cry still had it's own style, it's a bloody shame Capcom was more interested in Chop til you drop.

At this point though, I've been waiting for Gravity to make a move on the Wii platform, they have been in position to do it since spring 2007, I honestly wouldn't be too shocked about it, right now I believe they are in a race to the finish line with Nexxon (I believe thats how it's spelling goes) to provide a genre that hasn't appear on the Wii platform yet.

However if I'm correct Nexxon is more in a position due to relations with Nintendo to go 2nd party, if they do this their games may stay on DS for a while, which means no Gravity on Wii.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

Sim Racing -Unlikely, the "simulation" racing genre is prettylimited because GT and Forza corner the market (for consoles) the rescources needed and the licences to make a decent one on the Wii are not worth it for third parties as they won't get their money back as racing sim fans are pretty much GT only (Forza selling well only as an alternative)... still, I am not too bothered myself... and there may still be a few "decent enough" racing sims, except they won't really be racing sims rather more arcadey like NFS

Fighting - I'm not a fighting game fan, so I don't have much to say here.

Survival Horror - ??? The Wii seems to be getting the bulk of this genre to be honest, most of the PS360 ones are not really survival horror but action games with zombies thrown in, including RE5 by the sounds of it following RE4. RE4 is great in and of itself, but it isn't really survival horror.... I didn't run out of ammo once on my first playthrough, coming close only at one point in the game, and there is way way too many health power ups, I never died due to lack of herbs either, only some of the few insta-death bits.

Hockey - Again, not a fan, but to be honest is this a particularly prolific genre anywhere else anyway?

Flight Combat game - Also not particularly common really, I would like something of the sort, but for me it doesn't have to be combat, I would settle for Pilotwings or similar.

I made my answers.
