its good to see someone fightig back against nintendo. by going sideways and making a system with alot less power then the other 2 consoles, which is a first i think...nintendo forced devs to make games just for them. even the sports games devs have to make 2 wholegames. like Madden NFL 09 All-Play

you can blame 3rd party devs. but its really nintendos fault. they been shuning devs for years now scared to death a 3rd party game is gonna over shawdow their first party games on their systems. the wii was a perfect idea for them... they got their way and still kicked everyones ass in sales

i believe nintendo did not shun the devs at all they created a cheap alternative for a lot of developers to create low budget content that has a larger userbase its the devs that say yeah the wii just make a freebie game and sell it for fullprice and fighting back against nintendo ? nintendo is actually benefiting from this decision as their sports games (wii sports resort, mario sports mix) will get a higher mindshare and marketshare on their system. its the wii consumers that got kicked in the balls hard

i dont see any games to be honest

maybe bioshock but thats about it

Really? Sucks to be you, I'm loving this gen to bits. I won't bore you with pointless lists but I could name at least 25 or so cIassic games from this gen, in fact probably double that.

well i did buy a lot of stuff this gen (about 70 for wii incl. wiiware and 50 for 360 and a lot more for DS). but it really feels like im playing the same stuff over and over again. (HD games anyways)

i play shooters, rpgs, fighters and a lil bit of racing (not a racing fan) on the 360 and pretty much everything else on the wii on the 360 i have yet to encounter a game that really blew my mind (oh...bioshock did achieve that as i mentioned but thats about it) maybe its because i like japanese games and most of the japanese games on 360 were utterly dissapointing. especially the JRPGs compared to last gen are laughable.

do you think wii play,wii sports and other crappy wii games that sold a ton woulda sold so much if the wii had games gta4, ff13, mw2, ect, ect? thats why mg2 is selling so well still and mario kart nintendo dont have any other good 3rd party games for its owners to buy so its either buy nintendos first party game or buy shovel ware or pretty close to it...

Look harder then!!! 3rd party developers support the Wii and i own more 3rd party games than 1st party (MP Trilogy is it) and EA arent that great of a developer anyways.

When games are released years later they are usually cheaper.

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"][QUOTE="locopatho"]Yeah well, it's the Wii... Devs don't like it...Mario1331

Its ironic considering its the easiest hardware to develop for and has the largest user base. Hopefully it teaches Nintendo a lesson, as long as they care enough about developer respect to stop counting money. Would an artist prefer to create a masterpiece with the finest paint and brushes available, or use crayons?

na nintendo gave devs open arms this gen devs are just lazy and want everything their way. If your going to compete and want to make money work your ass off for it thats how i see it

they do work their ass off. they could completely max out the wii and it would still have trouble selling to the audience and look less then steller. thats why im betting epic mickey will be on HD before too long.

Actually Deadspace extraction is free with Deadspace 2 (on special edition, which is the regular edition for the PS3)

You don't even have to pay 10$ as you said.

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]Most wii games would be sold on xbla/psn so what's the problem?farnham
so i can download zelda, mario galaxy and metroid other m on xbla now ?

you know what he means. he is talking about power. plus with those games you mentioned xbla and psn has stuff just as good. id rather ratchet and clank then a new mario. id rather play shadow complex then that god awful looking mew metroid game, and zelda (the most over-rated non-changing game of all time) has been crushed by several games this gen and last gen. nintendo needs to stick a fork in that franchise but they wont. they do not know how to create a new character and world anymore.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom for the HD Consoles. = Marvel vs Capcom 3.

I don't get Capcom they said that the other consoles would get fighters like Street Fighter 4 while the Wii would get fighters like Tatsunoko vs Capcom and you know what Capcom gives to the Wii? ONLY Tatsunoko vs Capcom which everyone here was begging for it when it looked like the game wouldn't be released internationally. But it did and with Online and New Characters and a Cool Overtop shooter mini game! and you know what Capcom gets for it? XBOX 360 AND PS3 OWNERS PORT BEGGING AND LITTLE SALES FOR THE Wii. I thought we wanted TvC to be internationally released! I thought people wanted the game! well...they did but not for the Wii.

I hope you enjoy MvC3 as I will but I'm going to bet that it's going to play like TvC.

NBA Jam looked liked shovelware and Dead Space Extraction was on the rails, judging from the sales of this and other on the rail shooters, wii owners didnt even care about these games.

The orignal Boom Blox sold million which looked a intresting game but the sequel didnt receive as much sales but that could be down too being released so quickly after the orignal.

Ok and tell me how a wii game would be worth putting on a disc and sold? It's cheaper purely because its a lessened experience witht eh wiimote being taken away so any wii game "ported" to a DD on xbox and PS3 has been stripped of the biggest selling point the game had... motion control...

so your saying that the cost of making gta4, cod, and real madden games wouldnt be worth it for wii owners?

this made me laugh.EA makes better racers, sports, FPS, RPG's, RTS, and if insomiac makes a multiplat platformer? well lets just say i like ratchet and clank better then mario.
