Honestly the fewer movie games the better, the last game to be good based on a movie is Chronicles of Riddick and it's not one that follows the movies or released with the movies so it had its own development cycle and meant to be a real effort.

Honestly though who cares that a movie company would rather invest in a HD movie game that will likely not sell much/be a terrible game like most movie games and cost them more to develop?

Re-read the topic.

I did, mass market movies to Wii cause of the mass market appeal action games to PS3/360 cause the consoles are totally hardcore.

I was just commenting that the fewer movie games the better :P I personally hope they think it's too expensive to make so many HD games and cut most of those out and then don't produce Wii movie games cause they don't think they'll sell in the end getting rid of the movie games.  If you're going to make a game based off a movie IP give it to a team that make great games and give them the rights to make their own story and not have to release with the movie.

The movie thing is a metaphor. It's not about licensed games.

Yeah I noticed now lol I apparently read the OP wrong.  But even still why does anyone care?  I thought it related to games first now but now there's even less reason to care LOL

Because it's funny.

You read only the title, came into the thread, went into Wii Damage Control mode, and self-owned yourself twice.

What are you talking about? I was meaning why does anyone care about what movies you can watch on your console? Talking about "self-owned yourself" >_>

And since when has hating games based on movies been damage control, typically the industry makes fun of them on a consistant basis... Go try and play Ghostbusters on NES, Home Alone 2, or hell ANY movie based game that came from JLN, Brash, or just about any developer/publisher that pumps out movie games on a normal basis...

I'm confused as to what weight Lionsgate holds. Arent they a movie publisher? I can't see why I'd get upset, it's just another opinion from someone, no different than anyone here.

Does Liongates have any movie worth watching anyway?

Not about that either. It's a confused metaphor about how the Wii doesn't get the gaming equivalent of action movies.

Why isn't there a console for people like me then, who like Kubrick, Lynch, and art films? Why are we ignored?

You mean hipsters? You already have the iPhone.
