Are wii owners expecting big 3rd party support announced this E3?

I got a Wii because my g/f wanted one, im a ps3 and 360 owner and supporter but I figured surely 3rd party support will come flying over to the Wii because of sales, it's just 3rd parties got caught off guard and didnt expect the Wii to do so well, but surely now the dust has settled and the Wii will come out on top this gen sales wise, 3rd parties will just ship over to the Wii train

I hope im right? surely 3rd parties will start making a lot more quality games for the Wii E3 should be huge for the Wii right???????? otherwise ill get no use out of it.

I'm hoping for the same thing, and I think by next year, the Wii should have loads more 3rd party support, with games like the Conduit, FF: Crystal Chronicles, MadWorld etc. Wii is gonna get a lot of support, probably not as much as the other consoles, but just enough to satisfy Wii owners.King-gamer

hoping rather than expecting. really at this stage they should be getting some exciting stuff in the works for the platform..for both retail (for the big games from the big publishers) and hopefully some wiiware games (from smaller devs). im expecting the usual party stuff and probably a few wii fit imitators but i hope they have more tricks up their sleeves than that.

mad world is lookin good. hopefully we will see an improved version of the conduit. hopefully a red steel 2 also as awell as a wii version of the new POP from ubisoft. and some new stuff also thats interesting. ad for the love of god can we get some RTSs on the wii please?

I'm hoping for an Okami sequel

Nope, nothing major will happen. Since companies are starting to cease production of their multiplats on PS2 there will be no game to port over to the Wii because it can't handle any 360/PS3 games. I think we will see a sharp decline in thrid party games, especially multiplats.-Sphere-

Im intrigued by that unnamed capcom game,Arclight_Blue

After Spyborgs I'm not. :|

I expect some 3rd party announcements at E3. Probably nothing huge, but I want some good games to look forward to in 2009.

ooo now that would be very kewl. i wouldnt get my hopes up on that one though since clover are no more, the ppl who worked there are now under segas wing as far as i know and the game sold very little. but i would love a sequal indeed...wii exclusive and completly rebuilt to take advantage of its strengths.

id say wii games got quite a few promising 3rd party games already. eg. TFU looks like an awesome multiplay and october brings us promising exclusives in the form of tenchu 4, mushroom men and deadly creatures Then of course we have conduit and madworld in 2009 tho i have a feeling conduit will end up first party

Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell for sure.

The Wii will have no lack of 3rd party support. Developers will go where the money is, and the Wii has a massive user base. I expect there will be several exclusives, since it is apparently difficult to multiplat with the 360/PS3. My only question is whether we're going to see moslty cheap-o party games or something with some depth.

I'd expect a few announcements and then more following over the next year as publishers draw up their plans.

As long as you have money there's plenty on the Wii when it comes to third party games

I expect more of the same at E3

its a fair point...the combined userbases of the 360, PS3 and PC do make those platforms more tempting to develop for as there are more player there than on wii.

but the wii has its own advantages that can make it a very tempting platform like

1) wider demographic.....a dev has a chance to make a name for themselves in wiis newer markets (+ make a name for themselves in a 3rd party pool of, what has been, pretty lacklustre support).

2) lower licencing fees and dev kits. as far as i know, a PS3 dev kit and licence costs around 132,000 dollars. a wii dev kit and licence costs 2000.

3) lower dev costs and less specialised skills needed. the wii is old tech which means that taking advantage of it doesent cost an arm and a leg. a big project like MP3, galaxy or brawl still only costs half as much as a 360 game and less ppl are needed to get the job done. it also means that devs can use their existing PS2 or GC tech if they have any..further reducing costs. that can be a very big deal to smaller devs who dont have the backing of big publishers.

all these combine to ensure that there is still a great chance of success. the publisher doesent need to sell 600,000-700,000 to make a profit...half that for a big project would probably do very nicely. the wii doesent need the PS2 to warrant support...it can support games all by itself just like the DS and PS2.

that's my view on it, I already think we have a pretty good 3rd party.

the Wii would be awesome for RTSs, i would love to see games like command and conquer red alert 3 on th wii. it is coming out for the 360 but wouldnt the controls be easier on wii? dragging would be easier and unit movement would be easier so why not do it?

3rd parties love to hunt the best selling console and fill it with lots of crap and lots of cIassics at the same time (check what happened to the PS2).

so yes, "wii are expecting 3rd party support"

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Guitar Hero IV
Rock Band 2
Spore
Tales of Symphonia 2
Call of Duty 5
Sonic Unleashed
The Conduit
MadWorld
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles 2

That enough of some of the 3rd pasrty titles we're getting?

SADNESS!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!

in all seriousness this mystery capcom game could be cool (please be a RE4 style wii exclusive RE game. PLEASE!)

maybe some updates on conduit, COD5, madworld.

I want a brand new zombie focused series somewhat similar to Dead Rising. I had a whole idea in my head. But seriously this is my personal wish and game idea. Until I become a programmer and make it myself it isn't going to happen
