PETITION: Bring BlazBlue to the Wii.

Hi everybody. As you may or may not know, the highly rated fighting game BlazBlue has been released for the Xbox 360 and the PS3. A lot of Wii owners have felt shunted because they keep missing some great multiplats on the 360/PS3. Now some of these games obviously would not be possible on Wii without obvious downgrades (Call of Duty: World at War for example). These games simply can't be ported over simply because it would be a blatantly inferior product.

However, BlazBlue is a different kind of game. What makes it so beautiful is not how many polygons are on the screen, but the inspired artistic style. Many of you are probably wondering how controls would work, seeing as the Wiimote and nunchuck isn't ideal for fighters. Well, you could use either the classic controller or an arcade stick. Minus the HD graphics, I see no other downgrades in this title. Therefore, I see no reason why the Wii should be missing out on such a great game.

If the Wii can pull off games like Super Mario Galaxy, then it certainly is capable of playing BlazBlue, it's just a matter of them deciding to port it over. To those who say a port could never happen, the creators of BlazBlue have released two Guilty Gear games (one of their other fighting franchises) onto Nintendo's console.

So, if you would like BlazBlue to be released on the Wii, please post here and let your voice be heard!

If i put BlazVlue into my wii, its awesomeness would explode the console lol. The wii can't handle the games graphics. Just get a console that its meant to be played on instead of wanting HD hand me downs.

That would be cool, but they need to downgrade it of course, and I rather see this game come to PC.

Uh most fighters on the Wii don't use waggle controls much.>_>

could you try reading my post? The classic controller and an arcade stick are perfect solutions.

Good luck.

why would you want to use a controller on a Wii? that really defeats the whole wii experience and on that wouldnt a joystick cost like 80-100 doollars? people really want to pay that much for a downgraded version? :S not i good sir

I don't know, maybe you are right. If it looked good I wouldn't mind lol. Not sure how a late port would do though. I assume not well.

I mean, there is a chance. They even released a Guilty Gear in May for the Wii, which used the classic controller. It had the option of the nunchuck and wiimote, but that's obviously not your best choice for a fighting game

lol, a petition on gamespot isnt going to do much... besides, you didnt see 360 and PS3 owners forming petitions when we didnt get World Of Goo did you?

World of Goo would most likely not work well with the duel analog, so maybe that why 360/PS3 owners didn't form a petition for WoG on 360/PS3.>_>

This is a great idea!

I mean, just look at all the times online petitions have gotten things done!

and I dont think that this game will work well with the wiimote, even if you could use classic control support it wouldnt work well imo.

Pointless petition, the Wii isn't built for fighting games like this.

Oh I sure it can. Guilty Gear seem to be fine with the classic controller, heck even the gamecube controller. Plus there the arcade stick you can get.

wii has an arcade stick? Lol that shows how much behind the times I am with my wii, I should get it, is it compatible with Brawl?

the classic controller is like the same as the ps2/ps3 controller..

I don't know, I never gotten the arcade stick. But yes there is a arcade stick for the Wii:

Maybe Capcom will come out with a Tatsunoko vs. Capcom theme arcade stick when the game comes out.

Wow, i'm surprised so many people are talking about blazblue. Before it got high scores i already wanted to play this game because of guilty gear. I played guilty gear AC nonstop for the past two years, btw. It seems like people look at scores before they play games nowadays, sigh*.

i guess that's true, but it's also good that it is getting some recognition

Why don't you buy a PS3 or a 360 topic creator? If you are missing out on all these multiplats, then maybe you bought the wrong console.

I'm just acknowledging that there are a lot of games that Wii owners don't get. I'm not asking companies to bring every game to the Wii, just BlazBlue because this game CAN feasibly be done on this system. It's not like I'm asking for MGS4 to be on the Wii or anything like that.

It may not be feasibly portable.

I'm not sure to what extent they use the processor for physics or the like, but i'm sure if they could port a multiplat to the wii without massive effort they would.

then again they did not port tekken 5 : DR and that wouldn't be that hard, so much of the game is straight C++ even on the arcade board.

It might just be that the Wii doesn't have a large market for this sort of game, does anyone know how popular the GG port was?

Sadly blazblue isn't a game most wii owners would want. Most wii owners wont know what it is. Most wii owners wouldn't give it a second look. That's why it's on the 360/PS3.

Nintendo targeted a different audience, one that hasn't touched a fighter before in their lives.

no thank you

Go get a PS3 or 360 Wii isnt a console you can survive with this whole generation every hardcore Wii owner should have PS3 + Wii or 360 + Wii.

I own a Wii, so this isn't a fanboy comment, but porting BlazBlue to anything below HD should be a crime.

lolwat? Scaling down sprites is the easiest thing in the world. Thats whats been happening with arcade to console 2d fighters for AGES.Thunderdrone

Yeah, that part is never a challenge.

But we don't know how hard it would be to port it otherwise.

They all share the same instruction set, but it might be at the core optimized for multithreaded, multicore processors and require some rewriting or something that may be a bigger investment then we are assuming.

I don't know if they would leave the wii out of an already multiplat title if it was easy to do.
