Forums - Nintendo - Should Square port FFXIII to Wii?

Im sure SE has reasons to why not make a wii port, I just dont know them xD



Around the Network

As long as they are in the mindset of tech over practicality, like thinking physical media is somehow on the way out, then they won't give the Wii the support it deserves. Same with all the developers.



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

Well...

I don't think so.

FF sells because of, what Malstrom calls "spectacle" - big production values and story.

It's pointless do detract from the game the main things that sell it, and, sorry, but the Wii crowd proved that they care about gameplay, not graphics, soundtrack or story.

Porting FF from HD to Wii makes as much sense as porting Wii sports to the current HD consoles (without the motion controllers).


wrong. Wii owners care about gameplay, soundtrack and story, NOT graphics. is how it should of been written.

porting to the wii?? very bad idea. most 3rd party games sell like shit on the Wii putting FFXIII there would be suicide and they know it

 

keyword here being MOST. but ALL that most is either nichie or total garbage games.

FFXIII would beone of those that would sell. Just wait for DQX. you will see how well that sells (assuming SE dont move it again).

 

Nope, you're wrong :)

If most Wii owners would've cared for these things, they wouldn't have bought a Wii, after all, how can... well, a console with no game that is popular because of it's story compare to a console with MGS4, FF13, Valkyria Chronicles etc.

Pepole buy Wii because they want GAMEPLAY, don't fool yourself.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

every video game has a moment before its release date where the upscale a trailer or pics lol



Yes, yes they should. They already said it was possible with Crystal Tools, no point in gimping their sales by ignoring the best selling console.

If they don't, they should at least make FFXV Wii exclusive. And Haeresis XIII too.

The Wii is vastly underpowered compared to the PS3/360/PC. That was Nintendo's decision and it has been "practical" for their bottom line. But why must the rest of the industry stand still because Nintendo decided to launch a console with specs that are closer in performance to systems launced over a decade ago? If we really wanted to be "practical" we could all still be playing Atari. 



doesn't matter to me, I haven't bought an FF in a decade granted it's been about a decade since the last one came out. Wait I have the PS3... um... still not planning on getting it though, I'll let the other 3 million PS3 owners get it.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

I don't think SE would even consider it, regardless of what projected sales would show. For 3 generations now, their mindset has been that their 'core' series are on the Sony platforms (and MS recently) with the Nintendo consoles getting spinoff games and remakes.



Hardware is only a means to enjoy great games!

No thanks. They should make a new FF XIII game like Versus or Agito for the Wii, but not FF XIII. I wouldn't buy it on the Wii.

This post confuses me to no end.

 

And the cherry picking is hilarious. I could easily find a much better looking FFXIII screen and a much worse FFXII screen.

Yeah, they shouldn't ignore half the market by not releasing it on Wii. However, they really should ignore half the market with FFXV.

It makes perfect sense.
