BlazBlue for Wii?

As many of you know, a fighting game called BlazBlue has been released recently for the 360 and PS3. It seems that this series has huge potential and I would like some of your opinions.

So here are the questions: Do you think BlazBlue could be done on the Wii's hardware? Would there ever be a port of it for the Wii? If so, would you be interested in getting it?

Personally, I love anime and fighting games, and this game has both. So I would love it if it got ported over. For controls, you could use either the classic controller or a arcade stick I guess?

um no i dont think the wii would be good for this game

It might get ported, but you'd get a safer bet buying an xbox 360 or ps3 if possible someday. Besides, the beautiful 2d sprites are not supported by the Wii, and it wouldn't look as clean/impressive, as well as wouldn't play as fluid.

The Wii isn't strong enough to run it as is

That means downgrade and I don't like asking for inferior products

Just buy the console it's intended for if it's a pressing need

i mean obviously it wont have hd graphics because the wii doesnt support it

besides that, what does blazblue have that the wii isnt capable of doing?

i would hope they wouldnt do it.the wii doesnt need another inferior port.kobraka1

can you guys explain how it would be inferior? minus high def, what else do you think would be worse about it?

you obviously didn't read the topic because i wasn't "begging" for anything. i was asking if a port would be feasible on the wii and if people would be interested in picking it up if it did come out

People need to realize something important about gaming it's a hobby that's expensive. When you buy a console, don't expect every game to be on every console. If you want to play a certain game on another console, then you're gonna have to buy THAT console to play it. Begging for it to appear on the console you have currently won't happenSonick54

Thank you Sepewrath, those were my thoughts exactly. There are some ports that would no doubt be inferior on the Wii (take RE 5 for example). You guys need to remember that this is a 2d fighter, not something like MGS4. It is very possible to bring it to the Wii.

I know right, the game is just too graphically demanding for the Wii to run it :roll:

^ever heard of Muramasa a visually impressive 2D game for the Wii, maybe you have. Well the reason it looks so good is not because each character on the screen is made up of 50,000 polygons. Its because its has an exceptional artstyle and excellent animations, same as this game. The only big difference you would see in a Wii version is the color's.Sepewrath

Iam a fighter fan, and yes, I think blazBlue looks interesting and fun. And sorry for saying this, but the wii just hasfar to weak hardware to handle what blazblue is doing on PS3 and 360. They could release a version that has been down-sized, as in, making it look worse (far worse) dropping the frames from 60 to 30, and removing online, because it would be lag ridden. Sorry if you had hopes of this happening, but it just isnt going to happen. MAYBE an original blazblue could come to wii, but only if it were built with wii in mind. Sorry, wii is just to weak.

I think that they would try to make it with motion controls, but it could end up as another waggle game. It could also turn out flawlessly, but my past experiences (Star Wars: Force Unleashed) kind of steer me with a pessimistic manner.

Whoa, for a multiple console owner, you're an enormous fanboy. Compare guilty gear on the wii versus blazblue, and you WILL see a difference. The sprites wouldn't be as detailed. The backgrounds wouldn't be a nice, and the gameplay wouldn't be as fast paced and fluid. That's for sure. Besides, who wants an inferior port? Instead, make a game from the ground up. Then again most wii owners won't buy it (me included) because they either bought it to lose weight, or for the good ol' nintendo franchises (like me!)DarkSan00

Wow that was like the dumbest thing I ever heard, I'm a fanboy because I said something that was true. You think because this game looks better than Guilty Gear that the Wii was tapped out. You attribute too much of this game's visuals to simple horsepower, it is the result of brilliant artwork and the speed and fluidity of the game is not because of polygons its because of the framerate. And guess what the Wii can do 60FPS, look at the speed and fluid gameplay of Tastsunoko vs Capcom, its superior to SFIV and more in line with MvC series of the PS2. The only thing inferior about it would the overall look, the game wouldn't look as crisp obviously since its not HD. And you say that you wont buy a good game on the Wii because you only want 1st party Nintendo titles and you call me a fanboy, you have to be joking. Take it somewhere else chief. Though personally I don't think the game will come to the Wii because it will sell fine at least by Guilty Gear status on the PS3 and 360.

wow, you're acting like guilty gear is maxing out the Wii's hardware capabilities...it's not even close

minus hd graphics, i'm pretty sure that everything else would be able to be preserved. this game is not a polygon cruncher, this game looks good because of the artstyle.

also, care to explain how it wouldn't be as fast paced than the ps3/360 versions????

Framerate would drop from 60 to 30 most likely. Also, it's not only the polygons, but rather the sprites. You see, blazblue sprites are way bigger and more detailed than those found in 2D fighters like MVC2, guilty gear, and others. And as some dude before me said: compare the graphics between kof from the xbox/ps2 to the graphics in the ps3/360 KOF12, or guilty gear on the wii, ps2 or xbox compared to blazblue. There IS a difference, and it's quite noticeable in many aspects. Background, sprites, and other things such as the previously mentioned framerate would have to be different.

I am, by no means saying that I know how to program the game, but I'm certain that blazblue on the wii wouldn't look just as good, nor play as fast.

EDIT: I think I didn't write it properly regarding new IP's. Most of them do not appeal to me, which is a shame considering that I did buy lots of new ones last gen (god of war, kingdom hearts, viewtiful joe come to mind) and this one I've also bought new ones such as mass effect, infamous, bioshock, etc. Nevertheless, new IP's like madworld and the conduit do not interest me. No don't flame me, but finding out a game has a short campaign is bad for me, very bad since I love single player, (madworld is like 6 hours, and apparently has no rerplay value from what I've read, so I will rent it, same with the conduit). Only new IP for the wii I feel bad for not getting is No More Heroes, but that will be fixed in the following weeks. Thing is, most new IP's on the wii don't seem as high quality as the ones present LAST GEN.

EDIT: easy there fellas, especially the guy who said my comment was stupid

EDIT: anyone still here?

to darksan: i'll say it again, games like guilty gear are not even CLOSE to maxing out the wii's power

if it can handle SMG, it can handle this

gamerm, actually, there are two guilty gear games for Wii :shock:

i'd still get it as long as the gameplay and online was still there :P

well arent the 2D fighters today have so much animation going on? and anyone exactly like to explain how you would do the moves since the wii might have a chance with this title

Well let's see, from my understanding of BlazBlue's controls, you have the your directional buttons for movement, 3 standard attack buttons, and 1 button for character specific skills (correct me if I'm wrong guys, I haven't played it). It COULD technically work on the wii+nunchuck, but the classic controller or an arcade stick would obviously be the preference here.

Guilty Gear which is made by the same people who created BlazBlue is on the Wii, and that works pretty well

I'm sure it's possible, but they would have to shrink the character sprites since they are fairly large, and also the backgrounds are 3D so they would most likely be downgraded.
