Pachter: Publishers Jumping Ship Is Hurting the Wii
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
I think Nintendo has noticed that they are out of good developers, so I think they are trying to put out as many of their IPs on the market to show that games on wii games will sell a LOT, forcing developers to at least port games to the wii.
The DS is simply on its last legs as a platform, of course the software will decline a bit, since gamers know that the 3DS is just a year away with a huge starting line-up.

What!? I'm glad this analyst was able to figure this out, or else I would have had just no idea...
But seriously they just figured that out?

Don't forget No More Heroes. But Logan pictured it for me, so it's redundant.Onyx Oblivion said:
But other publishers may jump ship due to the fact, that, they can't all make casual games, and probably jump over to the 360.
You know journalists have been saying that at every Nintendo E3 press conference. "Smash Bros Brawl", "Super Mario Galaxy" will "return" public focus back to the Wii. Its been like that for 3 years and we still haven't seen anything done.Tom Phoenix said:
Generally speaking, I wouldn't say any of those titles would help the Wii's situation. Nintendo owners buy Nintendo games (and Nintendo games are generally superb quality). But trying to get Nintendo owners to buy 3rd party titles is the main focus.
People blame 3rd party for not making any high quality games. 3rd party developers blames a lack of audience for their poor sales. Then they move on to other consoles, because that is where most of their revenue is generated from.
3rd party devs were always irrelevant to nintendo. Some generations it works out, some it doesn't. Nintendo produces hardware for their stable of games and if 3rd parties want to go along for the ride great, if not no skin off their butts.
With the exception of no more heroes and raving rabids I can't think of a really good 3rd party game for wii. Red Steel 2 is bordering on good but the mmo "kill 10 rats" quest style doesn't work in single player games and I with developers would stop using it.

Maybe they should put their money where their mouth is and actually buy the hardcore games like Dead Space: Extraction and MadWorld instead of letting them fall by the wayside with piss poor sales. That's the reason hardcore game developers are ignoring the Wii, because there aren't enough sales to justify them supporting the platform.Logan Westbrook said:
As for Pachter, I wish I got paid to spout obvious statements on a regular basis.
Bah who needs original third party titles when Nintendo is regurgitating properties over and over again. God knows we need a 1054th version of Mario Kart after all.
Maybe Nintendo should have focused on making an actual current/next gen console instead of adding a bad gimmick to the Gamecube.

I can see exactly where it's coming from. Whereas awesomeness like Little King's Story, Madworld and Okami is put aside for the likes of Fifa, Mini Carnival Games and Just Dance.
Of course I'd imagine that these games still would have bombed on the 360 and PS3 simply for being too different for the crowds there.

I personally blame Nintendo's 3rd party policies for this, not just their Wii lineup.
They always were complete jackasses to third party developers, and this goes back to the Nintendo. And no, they have not gotten better at all.
I think alot of developers know this and don't want to be shoved around Nintendo's machine like they were nothing. Which is good. Let Nintendo handle first party titles anyway, it's what they're best at.

I think the issue is more on the fact that they are trying to release games that are worse versions of games that are on other consoles. I bought muramasa and monster hunter as I can't find them on my x-box...but that was it...kinda depressing actually.
Now with that glowing ball thing from Sony and that camera from M$, there shold be motion controlled games to port for the Wii. Casual gamers but more so hardcorers will be happy.
And yes. I don't own a console.

It's funny because they said "first-rate lineup of games" and the big thing people don't like about the Wii is the games. Ah well, keep dreaming Nintendo.
