KLONOA, MADWORLD, HOUSE OF THE DEAD ,SILENT HILL SHATTERD MEMORIES, FF CRYSTAL CRONICLES, RESIDENT EVIL 4 WHY DONT THEY PUT THESE GAMES ON A CONSOLE WHERE PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY BUY THEM!!!!! i always thought developers loved money.
Most every game you mentioned wouldn't do better on another console. Remember when GTA Chinatown Wars was ported to the PSP? Yeah me niether, but a lot of fools seemed to think being on a Nintendo system was the problem when the real problem was it just wasn't widely appealing.

dude its a top down gta game who the fux wants that, besides a few thousand delushional people.
Some of the games that I enjoyed on the Wii should stay on the Wii because they will lose the interest i had in them when they port it to a console with a regular controller.

I just think the good WiiWare games should come to XBLA. It's stupid to have exclusive's like that unless the controlls absolutley prohibit play cross-platform. (ex. Dark Void)
" New Super Mario Bros., because then it would've had online multiplayer. "
Not if it was made by Miyamoto, since he didn't want it. "
Man that sucks. That guy's kinda out of touch with gaming it seems. Though. Like he talks about not really playing them much, and how this game was inspired by gardening, or this game was inspired by trains. He's a little TOO high concept now. I'd still be playing NSMB Wii if it had online multiplayer. Like people say, the co-op is a totally different game, and it's unique enough for me to prefer it to the single player. Absolute fucking madness is what I want out of a good multiplayer experience.
Once I got past the OPs... e-yelling or whatever that was, I see that basically none of those games would work on a 360, other than Resi Evil 4, because that's already been done as Resident Evil 5. The rest mostly feel like intrinsically wii experiences.
One game I'm actually wanting to play on the xbox would be an HD No More Heroes. That game is pretty awesome, plus with all that talk of porting it, I dunno is has potential. I would just map the fatality slashes to the right thumb-stick or something. It would be just about as satisfying. Plus being in HD and achievements would make it the definitive version.

So if GTA IV was on the Wii, it would sell as much as it did on the 360?

You need to hone your conclusion making skills. In no way does the answer to your question need to be "yes" for ryanwho's statement to be true.

I see what he was trying to say kinda. So to answer, Resident Evil 4 is a "hardcore" game, and a port, and it did great on the Wii. Meanwhile Muramasa did about as well as Odin Sphere for the PS2. If you can't find an audience between the PS2 while it was still prime and the Wii now, its because they don't really exist. Its just lazy to assume exclusive Wii games that fail only fail because of the system when really Conduit and Mad World just aren't very good and Little King's Story is about as niche as you can get, regardless of the console its on. As for something like Dead Space, I don't know how they could be surprised that a prequel to a game that never came out on any Nintendo system didn't sell so great. What did that game have to overcome? The audience had to have the Wii in addition to another console so they're familiar of the original, and they had to be into light gun shooters. You can't blame the Wii for that then ignore that the RE shooter did well enough to get a sequel. Yes, good games fail sometimes. Yakuza failed, Valkyria Chronicles failed, every Tim Schafer game failed, uncounted brilliant PS2 games failed. Its not exclusive to the Wii at all, really those failures generally can be attributed to the publisher not marketing the game or some other fluke.
Well, what I meant is... You say that any game on Wii that doesn't sell, wouldn't sell any better on any other system. Grand Theft Auto IV sold well on the 360, so does that mean it would sell just as well on the Wii?
