Forums - Nintendo - Everybody says hardcore dont sell on wii.... but there´s a new one everyday

Orca_Azure on 18 May 2009

To be fair, bethesda hasn't really given the wii the same amount of attention the ps360 have received. I'm sure the wii could be a great gaming platform for hardcore titles if 1st rate game developers focused on them.

What gives?

 

Dead Space (Testing the Waters)

The Conduit (Testing the Waters)

Red Steel 2 (Gonna be family friendly)

Overlord (Testing the Waters)

Resident Evil Darkside (RE games sell well on the Wii)

Spyborgs (Testing the Waters)

Monster hunter G (That game could come in a happy meal and it would sell a ton in Japan)

Monster Hunter Tri (see above)

Ju-On (Don't know what this is)

Indiana Jones (Riding the sucess of Lego Indi)

Phantom Brave (Low Budget)

That Muramasa game (Testing the Waters)

Factor 5 game (they love nintendo)

Mistwalker game (Unconfirmed)

Batheseda Game (Could be a big mini game collection...we don't know)

 

And there must be a bunch of others that i dont remember and dont care to look right now.

What´s the deal? Why people still releasing these games if "hardocre dont sell on wii"

Well half those gAmes you listed... are not hardcore, more like decent-range.

Still you've made a point, maybe they'd like to continue losing money?

We don't even know what Factor 5 and Betheseda are making. Mistwalker hasn't announced anything on Wii.

And I had no idea that Indiana Jones could be considered "hardcore" by any "stereotypical" definition.

Don't most games fall under the catergorie 'testing the waters'? And these testings are all big budget games. They are not so big compared against the HD ones because the total costs of development on the wii are smaller.

- ju-on is a horrorgame of the guy, who made the original Japanees movie.

- Let's not forget Ubisoft's crazy Rabbits on the list. They are making two exclusive wii titles, not only red steel 2. About red steel 2: Nintendo's core games are all family friendly, though they have clear hardcore elements. A game doesn't need buckets of blood to be hardcore.

- Bethesda would really embarrass itself by announcing a really big wii game and then only shows some mini-games.

- Mistwalker's position on the wii is unknown.

And the list of Maykissthebride is certainly not compleet.

so what's the hardcore title for Wii today?



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Developers putting Hardcore games on the Wii are doing it to test out how they will do. Saga did it with a few games, and i don't think they will do it again. Dead Space is not really a "big budget" game especially from EA.

Did Bethesda say their game was gonna be a "mature game"?
