Plus, with Square Enix in Microsoft's camp, we might have Live Arcade versions of previous Square titles (like Achievement-laden Final Fantasy games, Einhander, Tobal no. 2, .. . . Sorry about that. Started drooling.
What about having a Blu-ray-capable drive in the PC? That would drive the cost of the PC over what he claims that setup would ccost for a PS3 owne, and put on more equal footing with the PS3 as far as capabilities of the system.
Let's end this arguement right now. Epic makes its money by licensing its engine technology to thrid party developers. The Wii can't run the latest iteration of this engine (Unreal engine 3) in all of its glory, due to outdated hardware. Therefore, the huge market growth represented by the Wii can't be tapped properly by Epic, which means they cannot make money off of it.
While Epic does release some good games, there track record isn't the greatest. Witness the huge step down in Unreal II, Unreal tournament 2003, and the first Unreal Chamionship on Xbox. There is plenty of trashy, overpriced, broken shovelware on the Wii. Does any of it really need to be powered by any version of the Unreal Engine?
The original Ninja Gaiden. The last area was hard as hell to get through, and the final boss came in two or three different forms. If you died during any part (there are four, including last boss), you went back the the beginning of the area, instead of the stage you were on. The final boss was made especially difficult because of the lack of an energy refill near the boss's room. You basically had to be so good getting through the three-part area before the boss that you were at full life, and anything less than half a bar guaranteed death.
The heaviest rumor is Kid Icarus, and I would love to see this. It hasn't been seen in North America in about two decades, and to my knowledge, not in Japan, either. Mabey not God of War-style gameplay (it is Nintendo, afterall), but with a similar view of the action. It's probably either Star Fox Wii (a true sequel), Earthbound Wii, or something else entirely (jokes:Final Fantasy VII Wiimake{raised +10 flame shield}). I don't remember the quote exactly, but I think Reggie didn't say for sure which system it was for, so it could be for DS.
What's sadder still is how wrong this topic is. The least deserving game for this on the list is Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz. It was at least fun for awhile.The rest of the games are MULTIPLATFORM.
I agree that most of those games are pure crap; it IS sad that someone saw an oppurtinity to exploit the growing Wii market and parents' stupidity by green-lighting so many licenesed titles. These games were rushed to make a quick buck off of some popular childrens' shows. They're kids' shows--it can't be that hard to translate that into a good game experience, and it's bad for the hobby anyway.
