Over the past few years, there's been a lot of games released on the PS3/360 that made Wii owners say, "hey, why isn't this game on the Wii?" Most of the time, it's because the game is just too hardware dependent, and the Wii couldn't handle it. Lately, I've been feeling that developers are just saying that as a cop-out. Instead of saying, "we just didn't want this game on the Wii," they say, "The Wii can't handle it.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, the Battle of Hoth, and one of the boldest Star Wars multimedia projects ever made. Here’s why Shadows of the Empire still matters.
This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆
But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.
Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.
Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.
As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
Debuting in Season 9, all players can try a beta of The Crew Motorfest’s new ambitious track creator, TrackForge.
The way I see a company is in the bussiness to make money. When Nintendo released the Wii it was big, and any company that had a product was willing to put it on the Wii, since the Wii has lost steam, a company will not invest in a product that could have ramifications on there company as a whole. Now while I belive you don't need HD graphics to have a winner, putting time and resources into something that will have little return, is a bad decision from a company prespective. Now while the article uses Sega as the base for his peice, I belive Sega has lost touch with it's audience, and is focused on peoples wallets then quality of products. That's not to say every sibgle game suffers from that, but that is just my opinion on the matter.
some games are reliant on hardware. like metal gear solid 4, grand tourismo, killzone etc, so they couldn't be on wii (yes i know they have exclusivity, but just for argument sake.)
other games like super street fighter, grand theft auto and resident evil could be on wii (obviously with some editing), but developers just make up excuses.
Dude you don't know most Wii owners are female and they own a Wii Fitness. Hardcore gamers are not interested in Wii.
and yet the wii is number 1 so gives a shit
@ below and the fact it has the best exclusives (Sales,rated, however you want to rate) of the gen helps alot too.
Haven't had this problem since I own all 3 systems. Although I did wonder that before. Got a Wii on launch day and thought damn this is the only system I'll need, and after seeing that Devil May Cry 4 and Final Fantasy XIII weren't touching Wii, I got a PS3 a year later. So glad I did too. And now recently I acquired a 360 for free. So no need to miss out for me.
