Wiiowner: We want Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter 4 on Wii

Some smartass: Wii is crap, if you absolutley want it buy a PS3 or 360

Wiiowner: These games are the only games i want on that system and buying an expensive  console for twogame is stupid, and not everyone can justify buying another console

Some smartass: If you really want them that shouldn't stop you. Quit your whining

Six months later

Some smartass: Why won't you release MH3, TvC, RE: Chronicles and Archives on the HD-consoles, it's unfair that Wiiowners are the only ones that can experience these games.

Wiiowner: If you want to play them why don't you buy a Wii.

Some smartass: Because Wii is for kids and casuals, plus i don't want to waste money on a console with only a handful of games.

Wiiowner:

Simple way to end it all:

1st step - Nintendo needs to release the "WiiHD"

2nd step - All new games need to be released on each system.

END.

Win - Win

I'm not buying a Wii for several reasons. One of them being how Nintendo stopped Microsoft from publishing GoldenEye on XBLA, but regardless, I just don't like the Wii controls and a lot of the "HD gamers" (cause apparently the term 'next-gen' offends some) that own PS3s and 360s I know feel the same way.

Wow, I was just thinking about Goldeneye... actually, the reason Nintendo didn't allow Micro$oft to release it on XBLA was because Micro$oft got greedy and told Nintendo that they could release it on Virtual Console (something like...?) a year after it gets released on XBLA. So in reality, it's Micro$oft's fault. Anyway, there's a Goldeneye remake coming out for Wii in 2010.

The Wii controls, the common excuse. The Wii controls work absolutely beautifully for On-Rails shooters, First Person Shooters (The Conduit, for example) and RE4-type gameplay. It has the best control scheme for all 3 types of play, because you can actually aim at where you want to shoot, instead of using an analog stick to move around the screen. I imagine On-Rails shooters would be quite hard with an analog stick. A lot of the games on the Wii are even Gamecube and/or Classic Controller compatible (Resident Evil Remake, Resident Evil 0, Monster Hunter 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl) so that's no reason to complain.

The only HD Gamers that feel the same way are likely to be fanboys and graphics whores.

The level of hypochrisy in this thread is amazing. Funny how the complainers are the SAME people who beg for a Wii version of Resident Evil 5.

Actually, it's the opposite. When people were asking for RE5 Wii; all of the "HD Gamers" denied them and told them to buy an Xbox 360 or PS3. But now when you're asking for Wii games on your HD Consoles, how do you think the Wii owners feel about this?

As for Nintendo exclusivity on the games, I'm not sure but I recall Nintendo making some sort of deal with Capcom, I think it was like "Nintendo gets 5 exclusive Resident Evil titles for the Gamecube and their next console (The Wii)". Resident Evil 4 was supposed to be part of that deal but then they released it on PS2 and PC. So if you look at it, you got REmake, RE0, Umbrella Chronicles, Darkside Chronicles and one more exclusive Resident Evil. But all this could be complete bull**** for all I know, I think I read it somewhere.

@Stuntman Snake: But then all the consoles would surely die if there were no exclusives. Game exclusivity is what keeps companies going and makes them more money. Why would anyone buy an Xbox 360 or Wii if the PS3 can offer the same experience and "ULTRALOLPWNGRPHX" on-top of that.

Right, because Nintendo isn't greedy... *rollseyes*
Actually, what happened was this: Microsoft was working alongside Activision, who had the rights to 007 now (and I think, still do) and started making the game behind Nintendo's back. When Nintendo hgigher ups got wind, they figured they had a stake on the title as the game appeared on the N64 and they had heavily invested on development, back in the day. MS tried to compensate by stating that the game would come out on Wii through it's Virtual Console channel, but 6 to 8 months after the 360 version launched. Nintendo's Phils Aime gave MS the greenlight and the deal was virtually done when an out-of-the-loop Satoru Iwata found out and ended the deal. This p!ssed off a lot of fans as you can imagine.

I'm asuming you didn't read the original post or else you would've realized that analog controls wouldn't fair into the equation when it comes to ports of RE:Chronicles/Archives to PS3 & 360. The whole POINT of the thread is having motion controls on 360 & PS3 (with Natal and the Wand) now, wouldn't it make sense to port and produce these titles on 360 and PS3?? While the games would no doubt also be playable with analog controls, they would be as practical for this type of game as analog controls are for Guitar Hero and Rockband titles.

That particular Nintendo deal with Capcom (the so-called Capcom Five) didn't include the next-generation Nintendo console, just 5 games on GameCube. When most of those titles failed commercially, Capcom decided to bring some of those exclusives (like Viewtiful Joe & Resident Evil 4) over to Playstation 2 shift development of titles like God Hand and Okami over to Sony's console.

As long as there are console manufacturers, there will always be 1st party games. Nintendo games will always only be on a Nintendo Console (less Nintendo licenses the title out - i.e. Philips CDi), so NO. Lack of 3rd party exclusives on one console or another doesn't mean conbsoles will die. In fact, what do you expect to happen when Nintendo comes out with their Wii HD and 360/PS3 are still around?? Third Party game publishers won't be making motion-control games exclusively on Wii when they can make the same games on PS3 and 360.

the wii needs exclusives and games like this and others ultimatly made me decid to get a new wii over a ps3 after my old one died even thought their is good games on that system it just i like games like zelda, n.m.h. and tvc over games on that system maby some day i may get a ps3 but intill then i will play z&w, tvc, nmh and the psp version of lbp
