So clearly whats happening is companies will not wait to develop a game specifically for Wii, that suits its attributes, because the Wii is getting a whole lot of lazy crap.
History will judge this generation as an absolute tragedy and mistake made by everyone in the industry. 3rd parties will crash and burn, while flailing their arms about in the deep blue ocean, only sparingly attempting to shoot a signal flare to be rescued.
That flare (the wii game) is just not enough. Why? Because the 360, that uses dvds, can produce big games with lots of new ideas and creativity (nintendo can do this obviously) but the Wii gets nothing. Nothing but a weak attempt at a quick cash in. Don't try and argue with me. Dead Space Wii is a cheap cash in just like Nascar racing is a cheap cash in.
History will say, this was the generation that everyone thought was over before it began, PS3 and 360 would destroy the Wii and 3rd parties would succeed on the HD systems. But this didn't happen. Now the Wii will go down in history as the "casual" console. Every attempt to "cash in" is a direct insult to what the Wii could have been. Big developers, excluding Sega, will be responsible for this continued labelling of the Wii.
What EA should have done was find out what is missing on the Wii and made that. They should have tried to replicate the xbox original build. They chose to make a game that was too common on the Wii to make it appealing enough.
I have advice for 3rd parties that continue to drag the Nintendo Wii's reputation through the mud. DO NOT MAKE ANY GAMES. Don't make them, there is no point if your can't bother to do things properly.
You are ruining the reputation of Nintendo and untill you go away for atleast 3 years and come back with something that genuinly works do not bother. Im starting to think the reviewers are right, that is the worst thing of all.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
