i was about to post this but i didn't knew how to insert images... and seems like you had the same problem =P

Anyway, i want this game =)

Wow, it looks great. Yay for non-cash-in Wii games!

Started Nov 2006. Summer 2008 release. My point exactly.
I bet most PS3 games started back in 2005, and 360 games probably before that.

They started development early. If companies are saying in March 2007 that they will provide some REAL support for the console, it takes time.

Anything that started production in March would be out past Summer 2008, assuming more than 1 year development time.

damn, awesome. That's one to watch.

Hey look at that DonWii... it took 9 months from the start of development for them to announce the game and show it off.  That's funny, didn't we both say something like "Developers announced increased support in March, so you won't see those effects until early 2008?"  9 months from March would be December, and since no one announces anything in December, count on 2008 as the year that you'll see some big 3rd party Wii games popping up.

2007, Most are trying to make a quick-buck. They KNOW there is money on the table this year. They HAVE to come out with anything if they want a chance.

Right, that's why the Wii games this year will mostly be cash-ins, whereas next year the Wii games will be the ones that had lots of development time and effort.

Added to list of 3rd party games to buy to my future Wii, seems like a non-cash in so I think I have to support Eidos in this. So far I have 3 games on that list GH3, Zak & Wiki, and this. Mayby on Nitrobike if good reviews.

Other than that I especially like the idea to build you own monster, I like things like that.

that is awesome but remember also there is a game coming out that i wanna play its a small game called tomb raider lol well its the anniversary edition but still using laura croft with the wiimote that is gonna be fun.
