Forgive my stupidity, but how in the hell does that link show the Wii version as being "gimped" in any sort of sense?

A couple points:

1. Achievements are mandatory from Microsoft. They must exist for the game to have MS approval. It's an integral part of the system's mechanics.

2. Achivements do not exist on Wii, nor does any other mechanism like it. You couldn't possibly be suggesting that we develop our own one-off achievement system for MM9? Retail games don't even do that much less $10 downloadable titles.

The game is exactly the same on both systems with the exception of system specific requirements. If that's what pushes someone over the edge to a purchase, so be it, but that's not exactly under our control.

I really hope you're joking.

For one thing, Virtual Console releases are completely under Nintendo's control. They decide what games come out when. If they decide they don't want a particular game on the system; well, tough luck. It's Nintendo and they have a habit of standing their ground regardless of how wise or unwise a decision may be.

As for the achievements in Mega Man 9...seriously, come on now. Like Sven said, that's just how 360 games are set up. You think Call of Duty: World at War or Guitar Hero World Tour or Rock Band 2 are going to have achievements on the Wii? Hell no. And that doesn't make them lesser games in any way whatsoever...it doesn't hamper the experience of the games themselves.

cant agree with you here, because we all know that guitar hero, call of duty and rock band are already gimped on the wii, sure those version will sell but most of it also cost less on wii that on ps3 or xbox360.

This its not the same scenario with Mega Man 9, Capcom by adding achievements on xbox360 will only shoot themself on the foot because wiiware version wont sell if ps3 and xbox360 version have added BONUS, Now if they make it like Wiiware version will be released first and months later release the other version with imrpovements that would be a good strategy.

In the end if Wiiware version FAILS in sales its all capcom fault.
