Forums - Nintendo - Where are the Hardcore Wii Nintendo Games?

this whole argument seems to stem from no star fox or f zero. the fact that wii has a punchout and 2 excite games whilst gamecune did not seems to be ignored. what i want to know is who do they expect star fox and f zero to be made by? theres is no team for either franchise unlike zelda, mario, fire emblem, batallion wars, pikmin ect

It may look like this because IMO 2009 was perhaps the worst year ever from Nintendo supporting their own console. Add to that the fact that 2008 was really poor too and then you get this kinds of reactions.

Probably by 2010 everything will be OK, but what the OP said is not totally terrible, since the past 2 years have been abominably poor. And a lot of the games never made it to the USA on top of that.

They are definitely ignoring certain franchises, though that comes back to a lack of development capacity, and their sudden unwillingness to farm games out to 3rd parties (except for Other M, apparently)

Excite Truck was made by Monster Games

Mario Party 8 was made by Hudson Soft

Mario Strikers Charged was made by Next Level Games

Donkey Kong Barrel Blast was made by Paon

Battalion Wars 2 was made by Kuju Entertainment

Endless Ocean was made by Arika

Mario Super Sluggers was made by Namco Bandai

Wario Land: The Shake Dimension was made by Good Feel

Punch-Out!! was made by Next Level Games

Another Code: R - A Journey into Lost Memories was made by Cing

Sin and Punishment 2 is being made by Treasure

Endless Ocean 2 is being made by Arika

Span Smasher is being made by Artoon

Dynamic Slash is being made by Sandlot

Line Attack Heroes is being made by Grezzo Games

So what were you saying about Nintendo being unwilling to work with third parties?

Why did you bought a Wii then? if you really want core games and console FPS with pointer controls which isnt a port then wait MOAR. it will never happen. Buy a HD console instead if you want core games. And yeah, your predictions are too obvious look at my sig for predictions



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

Mario kart is not hardcore
punch out is a lame game ( after playing and our I never play again)

@ yue

may i ask which nintendo franchises are hardcore?

I have been a Nintendo fan since the Nes. Do I feel neglected?

Hint: The answer is two letters and starts with an N.

Only disappointment for me is that they've failed to bring us Fatal Frame IV...

And why the cheap shot at Fire Emblem?



@yushire: Your predictions are stupid. Wii is not the only option as many developers have proven already. NA and Europe are doing alright without supporting the Wii, Wii is the one seeing a decline, not the other way around.

Besides I bought a Wii because I like Nintendo games, not FPS, and I bought it back in 2007, when we were seeing a constant flow of good Nintendo games.

If my predictions are too obvious, then why does everyone go against them?
