Might be mostly due to the preference for the balance board, might be the slow gradual shift to a more pro-Wii mindset for developers. Might be due to the lackluster response of the game seen on HD consoles.

Personally, I didnt like the Shaun White Wii game. Felt too generic and limiting. I'll only be happy with a new SSX game on the Wii

EA is warming up to the Wii, so that is likely.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Wasn't the last Shaun White supposed to be Wii exclusive but it just turned out it was a timed exclusive? Probably the same here, but none the less a good announcement for the Wii (I say this having not played a sports game in about 10 years and not planning to*)

*Punch Out!! doesn't count in my universe :)



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.

^^^ Nope, Shaun White came out on all 3 systems at the same time.

It is probably because Shuan White sold significantly better on Wii. The Wii version sold as well as X360+PS3 combined. While they probably made a profit from the other versions, maybe they decided that it would be better to put those deveopement resources on another game with higher sales potential (like Assassin's Creed 2)

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Times are tough. Makes sense to only make the cheaper to develop better selling version and avoid the expensive to make poor selling versions.

Awesome news for Wii gamers.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

well ps360 game was average, but also flopped really hard - though i still liked it but not as much as Road Trip. it's great that we will see a sequel to this game.
