Wii Wii thread 2.0
It's a new year, seems like a good time to start a new thread.

Post here if you are a casual zombie brainwashed by Nintendo.



Or if you like HAND CANNONS.



Or both.

Old thread here.

It's just you, go away.

The console doesn't make the games, it's just hardware. It's the devs you have to blame, but this is all being rectified in '09.

Nothing yet. Capcom have said it was a possibility. I wouldn't hold your breath though. I expect an SF4 port eventually, or a game made using the Tatsunoko vs Capcom engine (either in it's current form, or maybe with the Tatsunoko brand replaced with another set of characters due to licensing issues).

I think it's just a dissapointment because of expectations. We've already got a bunch of lightgun games now. And Dead Space on Wii as a third person game made sense thanks to RE4. EA were so damn close to getting it right. I'm sure it will be a great game and all though, especially considering the original Dead Space team are working on it and not some crappy B team of developers.

As a game. I'm playing through Dead Space on the 360 and it's one of the scariest games I've ever played.

Rail shooters are not scary... nowhere near the immersion.

For example, compare RE 4 and RE: Umbrella Chronicles.

The Tatsunoko vs Capcom engine is very very old, first gen gamecube old in matter of fact (which is a sad thing because it is one of the best looking Wii games), I doubt the Wii would really have any problems running SF4 as the Director pretty much said it could eaisly.

One thing I am wondering is why in gods name is King of Fighters XII on PS3 and Xbox 360 and not on Wii.

True, but you've seen one trailer with 20-30 seconds worth of gameplay, if that. You can hardly judge it yet.

It's a prequel to Dead Space too isn't it?

EA has officially announced Dead Space Extraction for the Wii after EA CEO John Riccitiello revealed the the game in a conference call last week. The developer has released the first details stating it will be a prequel to the PS3/360 titles that "reveals the events leading up to Isaac Clarke's mission on the USG Ishimura.

EA state that "Dead Space Extraction will marry the innovative motion controls of the Wii Remote with a frenetic first person perspective to create a new action-packed horror experience."

The title will be built from the ground up for the Wii, and unlike it's predecessor will be an on-rails first person shooter. "Extraction is not your typical Rail Shooter. Our goal is to innovate and push the genre forward like Dead Space did for third-person action survival horror" said Steve Papoutsis, the game's executive producer.

Dead Space Extraction tells the story of a handful of space colonists desperately struggling to escape from a horrific infection on the Aegis VII mining colony deep in the furthest regions of space. The game introduces a new heroine to the fiction and as the crew fall victim to a mysterious contagion aboard the ship, it becomes clear that protecting her may be their only hope for survival. Dead Space Extraction introduces all new characters, weapons, enemies, puzzles and co-operative multiplayer gameplay.

Dead Space Extraction promises to retain the violence, horror and terror from the first game when it is released later this year.

This isn't going to be your run of the mill on rails shooter Dante

Don't think it will be that big AAA game we were hoping for. Although I do see some potential for new on-rails mechanics. It will be a way different atmosphere to your typical lightgun game settings. Strategic dismemberment, kinesis and stasis should be a big feature at least. Maybe choices of different routes to take with a bit of exploration available.
