I think that SEGA is the best developer for the wii, because they make crap and paint it gold to the point where there will ALWAYS be a good population of people who will buy and LIKE itNow, believe it or not, im not a big fan of SEGA since they quit the console wars, i think that alot of the wii titles they have had their names on are not that good.
Good example, is sonic and the secret rings. the game was clearly trash, yet somehow, it develops this amazingly strong fanbase for it, soley on the premise that its unique and original. the controls were sloppy and that song that played over and over (you all know the one) was suicide-inducing. but like i said, SEGA painted that crap gold with a quirky story and well, its got sonic, so insta-win.
The people who enjoy these games and fight for them to the death are the reason why SEGA continues on for the wii. SEGA realizes that wii owners are ungrateful beings and they continue to give us what we want, even if its not their work.
good example? the conduit. high voltage has been raving about this game since the begining, building up tons of hype for it, but then SEGA comes along and is like "oh hi there, let me see that! ** puts name on it**" and now people will associate it with SEGA.
Sonic unleashed gave people hope for sonic. the daytime levels being quite good and fun, which is just what the sonic regulars needed after the secret rings disaster. the wii version being the best version, is clear proof that SEGA is better for us wii owners, because a multi-plat game was BEST on wii.
SEGA has managed to break the race barrier with a little ditty called madworld, with the educational value to stear our kids away from racism, using visualisations that jus scream " no matter whether you're black or white, everyone is red inside", which is just what people need during these hard times.
House of the dead series is SEGAs way of showing us that we dont NEED to waste gas to go to an arcade to blow quarters on a game that now, we can play at HOME! SEGA is trying to solve the energy crisis one household at a time by releasing the light gun games we know and love in a plastic case, available to play on our little wite box, not on the other consoles though, they ruin the earth.
The bottom line is that SEGA is that guy at work who never does anything but keeps getting promotions. They somehow manage to give us what we want in the end, meeting our ever-so-picky needs, without needing to try that hard, is what we wii owners really need, thank you SEGA, and please, keep doing what you do.
