Gamervision:
Last week, Gamervision had a talk with Jools Watsham, owner and game director for Renegade Kid. For those who don't know, Renegade Kid is one of the few developers known for their "hardcore" Nintendo games, the most recent of which were Dementium and Moon on the Nintendo DS. When asked about their first Wii title, Son of the Dragon, Jools's answer was interesting to us, though not all that surprising. Here's an excerpt:
"GV: Whatever happened with Son of the Dragon?
JW: The original project was slatted [sic] as a Wii / DS combo, but due to the sales of "hardcore" games on the Wii it was cancelled by the publisher."
That's right, it appears that at least one publisher is canceling any "hardcore" Wii games, and, to be honest, who could blame them?
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
XSEED is one of a few publishers running a new Switch eShop sale for Black Friday 2023, and it includes the lowest prices ever for No More Heroes 1 and 2. The same goes for Senran Kagura Peach Ball, Trinity Trigger, and more.
Nintenderos: "We kick off our interviews this year with a very special one with George Kamitani, president of Vanillaware. In case you didn't know this study, it is the one behind games of the stature of Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Odin Sphere or Dragon's Crown. In addition to, of course, unforgettable titles like the wonderful 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim published by Atlus a few months ago."
Seriously who is Renegade Kid when they make a NMH2 or a red steel let me know their opinion. Another thing if your game is good then ubi/sega will be happy to publish it.
There simply are no more free money days left. Just saying hardcore game is not good enough it has to be a hardcore game.
That's kind of crumby. But, uh, do Wii gamers really want to play a DS game on their Wii?
yeah i think he doesnt know team ninja x nintendo = other m
all this hate on the wii is a self fulfilling prophecy. It is the fault of every whining fanboy that wii titles aimed at the skilled adult gamer are not selling. They need to stop being such doubters and start picking these titles up. Because before long all consoles will be supporting the casual crowd and what is to stop developers from making the jump from core titles not being worth developing for wii and core titles are just not worth developing for anything?
