I respect the versatility and innovation of the Wii as much as anyone, but hearing Bungie's Harold Ryan say there could be a place for the Wii in the future kind of disturbs me. He was talking to Kotaku.
 
I just wonder why studios bother with it. You pretty much have to put out an entirely different game than the one you're making and, really, unless your game has Nintendo slapped on the box it probably won't sell that well.
 
Don't all of us have something in addition to a Wii? I can't imagine there's a serious gamer deprived of the big titles because all they have is a Wii. I guess since I just love Bungie, I really want to see them spread their wings and this whole Activision thing seems dubious.
 
Edit: made the link into an actual link.

Maybe Bungie is just interested in making a killer Wii FPS.
...and maybe they are just the cats to make that breakthrough.

Personally I couldn't be happier about that, the Wii has a lot of potential and Bungie isn't a crap studio.  
 
Real good developers potentially doing real good things on the Wii shouldn't "disturb" anyone unless you're a nonsensical fanboy.

Sounds good to me, if they want to make a Wii game, good for them, as long as it's fun.

They'll probably be going multiplatform if they want to make money, but then, you never know, they could be able to make a game that becomes really popular to those millions of people that owns a wii. Halo was really popular and it wasn't even on a winning console.

And Metroid has already laid the template for what it takes to have good controls in a Wii shooter (as with Red Steel 2), so it's easily possible and by no means a frightening prospect

Bungie successfully brought first-person shooters to consoles. If anyone could put out a quality Wii first-person shooter, it's them.

It will be interesting what they do.
 
But will Bungie be able to do something new, or are they a one trick pony?

The less exclusives the more everyone wins in the long run (and the less consoles to buy). It's a draining investment when you don't want to miss out on any top-tier titles.

I pity everyone who doesn't own a Wii in 2010.

Remember when they tried making Halo on the DS? That looked like it worked out very well. So I imagine, if they will be making a game for the Wii, it will actually be better than any other game on the Wii.

They made real-time strategy and third-person action games before Halo, so they're definitely not a one-trick pony. "

Halo DS wasn't Bungie. It was the developer of GoldenEye Rogue something. "

There not making a dedicated Wii game, if anything whatever they make on PS3/360 would be later ported to Wii.

Didn't Bungie own some sort of right to it? "
