Official Wii Thread: Part 4

[James]

Its the Wii really sucking ass on the Ubisoft.

That would be a snappy comeback if it made any sense at all.

I don't know what's up with Ubisoft, but this shovelware attitude they're working on needs to stop. I'll grant that the follow-through on the Wii library's great start is pretty weak, but crapping out a spelling game and a PSP port isn't the way to do it. Nintendo needs to learn how to say No, and maybe smack Ubisoft on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper for good measure.

It did make sense though. Most (hell, if not ALL) western pubs are not going to put their all-star talent on Wii projects.

You know, every post you make wants me want to boycott the Wii a little more. I started out back in part 1 of this thread pretty damn neutral, but the absolutely assinine arguments that you, RoleTroll, and PB keep making have completely turned me off.

dude, seriously, for however many years i have seen you post, you have never been neutral on anything i have seen you post about, dont front. you were slamming the wii before it came out, except with the throwaway line about how the metal slug collection would get you to buy one. so just be honest, and dont pretend you were ever neutral on the topic just for a quick cheap shot at spoo, you are better than that.

There's a pretty big leap from putting their all-star talent on a project to just lazily porting old games that in some cases they didn't even think were worth publishing the first time around. That's EA-level bullshit.

Welcome to the new gen. Low third party sales on good games + machine that cannot compete = this.

[James]

Where are you getting the low sales numbers from? You're going to want to offer some backup on that statement, because the Wii had a hell of a good Christmas season despite the shortages.

Joust doesn't operate on facts. Just truthiness.

Unfortunately he's not starring in a comedy news show. He's serious.

[Tommy Tallarico]

He didn't say anything about Wii system sales.

[James]

We're clear on that point, thanks.

Can Nintendo really afford to do that with one of the biggest 3rd party publishers out there? Granted, losing shitty support wouldn't be all that big a loss, but still, I don't think Nintendo has enough clout with publishers anymore to chastise anyone.
