IGN WiiK In Review Podcast ("Games Previously On Another System Now On Wii") Hmm...?
Was just listening to IGN's latest Wii Podcast and Matt says something really interesting: " I have a feeling your gonna see hmm how do I say...lets be pretty vague about this...games that were previously on another system now on Wii instead." Now thats really made me think what system was he talking about is he on about? end of generation PS2 games or games from Xbox360 and PS3? If so won't they have to be pretty heavily toned down? Is this a result of the much maligned PS3 price point. What title would you imagine or would you like to come to Wii (sounds like exclusivily) (both realistically and in a fantasy world)?

Me, I really can't imagine what title would make the jump from the other next gens to Wii so I think maybe it could be either Scarface or The Sopranos that were cancelled for Xbox360.

Meh, misleading thread title. "Not" should be "Now".

More games on the Wii should be good, I think, but I haven't kept up on what games the other consoles have lost, so I can't make any predictions as to which games Matt could be referring to in the podcast.

I think he's referring to games that used to be exclusive to other systems like Final Fantasy and Metal Gear, etc.

It could be Super Paper Mario. It'd be good to have on Wii's launch, although being a GameCube game it'd be able to be played on Wii anyway. But symbolically... hmm. Who knows.

More ports? from current gen, and future current gen releases probably.

Sounds good. I'm not expecting an announcement of MGS4 or Resident Evil 5 being ported to the Wii or anything, but more game sis always a good thing, especially if it's detracting from the opposition.

My secret fanboy "I-hope-it's-true-but-I-know-it's-not" game is Silent Hill 5, which probably doesn't count since it hasn't been announced yet. That would be so cool Big Grin

Silent Hill 5 would be cool. I still need to get ahold of 3 and 4 and play those soon.

Yeah, I think he means frachises, like Final Fantasy and stuff. I doubt we'll get any actual Final Fantasies, though.

Been thinking and it would be cool if we got the next KIngdom Hearts, I really don't the franchise will benefit too much from PS3's 4D power lol but on a serious note it would enable Square to continue the series with the current art assets and just bump them up to an acceptable degree (of course as I havn't player KH2 I don't know on what note the ending of two left on, is there room to continue?). I also think Kingdom Hearts is a franchise that would fit the Wii and Nintendo very well, fitting the RPG vacuum and Disney and Nintendo just sounds right.

It's probably just Gamecube games. But it would be so sweet to see a reverse-playstation-exodus this generation Big Grin

I see what you're implying. You're implying that Nintendo and Disney would fit perfectly together, because they're both kiddy. The KH's franchise is fine on Playstation.

Yeah. The Wii already has one ****ty Final Fantasy game, and that's Crystal Chronicles 2.

Crystal Chronicles kicks ass. And the sequel will kick even more ass.

Let me see you cast Firaga by timing your spell casts with three other friends on your little PS2 or PS3. Oh wait, you can't!

Crystal Chronicles may or may not be a FF favorite. What is certain is that it didn't and won't move units. The Wii will need a real damn FF to do that.

Eh. The SP sucked. I don't have any friends who owns a GCN either, so MP was always out of the question. Plus, I'd hardly think they would want to play the game. =P

Actually no, I love Nintendo and I'm twenty years old as do most of my mates my age, what I meant is that they both make entertainment for the whole family from kids to adults, hell the Lion King and Tarzan are my twenty favourite movies ever just as Mario 64 and Zelda are in my top ten favourite games ever.

Plus I seriously don't see Kingdom Hearts needing 4D 1080p, 120fps graphics to appeal to its audience.

I can see your point Sony does have a wide variety of games (from Jak and Daxter to Gran Turismo) but in my mind Nintendo trys to be inclusive with all their games and doesnt just section off games ala Sony. But off course Kingdom Hearts and Sony has been a very good match so far, the sales figures reflect that. I still think Nintendo, Square and Disney sounds like a match made in heaven.

Jak 3! Wahoo! I was thinking of the J&D games too. You've pretty much said the same things I was thinking.

I'd be cool without the Disney, personally.

I agree. KH is done. It is established, let's do something different.

I mean keep the smash up. Personally can't get enough of them whether its Marvel vs Capcom vs SNK, Smash Bros, KH or whatever.

Just do something different than KH as we've already seen that universe.

Hey, as a child of the 80's why not a Captain N?? Good retro vibe, could easily make use of more than the Control Pad and Zapper with the Wiimote, and the crossover of all Nintendo crossovers. (Though if done by Square, hopefully their FF world is better than what we got on the show).
