I get what you are saying... It's getting like pretty annoying hehe






























It's a valid question in a general sense to ask if any particular third party game on any platform will be seeing release on any other platform. Unfortunately most gaming press do not know how to (or simply choose not to) ask questions in a professional manner.

the press is pretty ignorant. Oh well at least here we have smart gamers who can come together and agree on this.

nintendo forever . . .

So you feel offended when some people ask if a 3rd party game is going to be on other platforms? Wow.

In 90% of these interviews you can read some question, where they either imply it somehow wasted the game's potential or pure development time by being on the wii. Almost always negative.
In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.
Happens when PS3 exclusives are announced aswell. Sometimes even 360 exclusives that rare... The media just seems to expect every good game on 360 now.

The press is full of college kids, and we all know college kids think that their opinion is gold, when the truth is, it's not even copper.
In all honesty, I find the VGChartz articles are better written than the majority of articles by so called professional gaming journalists online.
I've given up on IGN, Gamespot and others. I still read Chris Kohler's blog and Edge, but even Edge falls into criticising Nintendo just because the core market isn't their only focus. At least, that's what it feels like at times. For example, Edge's summary of Nintendo's E3 lineup in the news section was over whelmingly negative, it ignored the Metroid announcement and stated that the Galaxy 2 announcement was the only good thing in it.
I agree with what someone else said-that for Wii, it's very often a lose-lose situation. That doesn't just translate to the "NMH/MadWorld would be better/more successful on 360" argument, though. I think it also applies to Nintendo's press briefings now. For example, last years pre-E3 briefing was criticised by Edge for putting too much focus on Nintendo's new audience. This year Nintendo was criticised by Edge for aiming at different parts of its audience in one press briefing. Next year Nintendo may well be criticised for focusing too much on core content!
It's frustrating much of the time attempting to find balance coverage of Wii games and news. Mostly I stick to VGChartz for it. In fact, it almost reminds me of the negative press PS3 seemed to get throughout 2007. Perhaps this negative slant towards Wii is because the 'core' journalists and observers of the industry dislike the fact a console that doesn't just cater for them and their every need has become the market leader? I think it's something along those lines.
But yeah, rant near enough over. I agree with the OP.

Of course not. It's the tone with which the question is asked.
A. "Will this game see a release on the PS3 or X360?"
B. "The Wii is stupid, so why aren't you being smart and putting your real game on a real game console?"
The sad fact is that most of the time the question is posed far closer to B than to A.
