people being pulled off PS3 projects to work on Wii but its not core titles

- No word on any publisher interest for Winter since petition
- Conduit sales are very important to not just SEGA, but other publishers in general
- other companies are looking to sales of de Blob and Deadly Creatures to see how they will approach the Wii in the future
- Nintendo should be announcing their SD card fix will come towards the end of March. Will arrive via a download, and is due to fix storage space issues.
- Gas Powered Games 'God Game' is MIA…no idea where the project stands right now
- U.S. release date should be coming for Fatal Frame IV (opinion)
- Retro has filled their art and game director positions from within, and a former Midway employee has become their Technical Director
- Retro's new project 'is going to be rad, epic, and cool' according to Matt
- still nothing official for a new Golden Sun, but the team behind the series still wants to make a new entry
- Retro has handled the Prime 1 and 2 'New Play Control' titles
- people being pulled off PS3 projects to work on Wii, but it's not the Wii titles core gamers want
- more dark games coming to Wii, possibly announced as early as April
- major I.P.s coming from publishers, check out Matt's top 10 games list for some hints
- still no word from Factor 5
- Conduit's biggest hurdle to overcome is their artists…the tech is better than their artists
- Developer of ExciteTruck (Monster Games) is working on another game, (SPECULATION) may be be another ExciteTruck, WaveRace, ExciteBike, or some type of racing game

I don't know what to think of this. There are many titles I have enjoied that so called core gamers don't like. I already know what some of the haters are going to say and part of me understands why they would say it.

But seriously, that sounds good IMO. I hope to see more devs jump on board to the Wii.

Terrific. Can't say I blame them, but as a core gamer, that kinda sucks for me. I can at least hope its people pulled from Lair like PS3 projects and put onto Wii projects like World of Goo....SpruceCaboose

World of Goo was a multiplatform project not just a Wii project.

It's where the money is at. And during times like these can't say I blame them.jharv

yeah cause Wii third party games are known for being epic sellers....... The only thing they have going for them compared to PC/PS3/360 games are lower costs to make.

yeah, but stuff like that might be a change since WoG is one of Wii's most downloaded games, and WoG on the PC has a 90% piracey rate. :(

Not all games, I would love to see Metroid come to PC but I knw it aint going to happen. Just like Wii will never see Crysis.

Shaun White, Tiger Woods 09, No More Heroes, Zak and Wiki, Star Wars TFU (Sold more than PS3), Guitar Hero, not to mention Wiiware games. Now be gone.

You called it a Wii project ignoring the fact it was available on PC. I was just pointing out that it could be bought and played on PC as well as Wii.

Yeah I added it there. The guy was just trolling. Guitar Hero also sold more on Wii than any other platform.

Wow, the Wii has 5 good selling third party games ? Well I guess I was so wrong in every way. 5 good selling games out of 29 pages of Wii games on this site. I don't count Wiiware games. If you can't put out a new game that sells but need to rerelease old stuff to sell then I consider that fail.

most of those games only reached around 500k in sales the only one that reached a million was star wars, while good sales that's not really enough to make them stand out sales wise.

Which projects are they being pulled off of? What developers specifically? Where did they get their sources?TheGrat1

An without PC as games platform World of Goo would never be created to begin with. Remember..this is PC game, they've decided to bring it to Wii only when it was bassicaly almost done on PC

Shaun White 840, 000, Tiger woods 750, 000, Zak and Wiki 540, 000 (Which I find to be really good for a IP with NO hype), Star Wars over a million and Guitar hero best sold on Wii platform. Only Zack and wiki was around 500k.jharv

He was right in saying only one of them reached 1 million.

Clicked the link and it was basically the exact same thing the TC posted. I dont want to have to download the podcast so if anyone could expand on these claims it would be greatly appreciated. Seeing as it is coming from a pro-nintendo site i'm taking this with a grain of salt.

What do you consider good ? 500000 ? How many 3rd party Wii games out of the 29 pages here on gamespot sold more than 500000 ? I don't care if a game had no hype, that was someones choise who is not me so I give them no breaks for it.

no more heroes was like 300k something, zack and wiki was well below 500k as well selling only 35k in the states, and tiger isn't to far off from 500k so I just went with that number.

Well obviously 300k isn't bad if they're coming out with a sequel. ;) Zack and Wiki sold well. Tiger Woods sold more on Wii than other platforms.

That article is almost a year old.

zack and wiki is at 540K right now.

No. Unless you got some other proof besides stating the Wii's version "garbage."

PS3's.
