Tekken 6 director Katsuhiro Harada was recently asked if Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection or Tekken 6 could be ported to Wii. Harada said that if there is enough demand from fans, the series could see action on Nintendo’s system.

“That would be very interesting [Tekken 5/6 on Wii]. Like the Xbox 360 owners, if Wii owners are passionate and make it known they really want the series on their system, we would love to be able to answer that request. Hearing about the huge number of Xbox 360 owners who are Tekken fans, especially in North America, definitely played a huge part in influencing us to bring the game to that system. As for the Wii, the standard controller lacks the right number of buttons and the placement is awkward, so… I suppose the classic controller could handle it!”

Independent Wii development “not really justified yet” says id CEO

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 8 Comments

id Software has been involved with games such as Doom and Quake. But what does the company think of the Wii? According to Todd Hollenshead, id’s CEO, independent development in the Wii “is not really justified yet.”

“…So the game-centric game-based properties are successful on 360 and PS3, and PC, especially if you have a combined launch. They’re not as successful on the Wii. In fact, if you’re already doing those others, then maybe you add the Wii as your fourth platform. But if you look at the numbers, independent Wii-centric development is not really justified yet. Now, maybe it’s just that we don’t know how to exploit it, and Nintendo does because they made the Wii, and they’re really that good. And I’m not trying to take away from those guys at Nintendo. Their games are awesome–I’m a fan, too. But as a company that doesn’t make Nintendo-type games, the Wii is less of a compelling platform for us to really sink a lot of resources into.” – Todd Hollenshead, id’s CEO

Nintendo talks about E3, Dunaway confirms she’ll take the stage again

Small update: Added video

Uh oh. Looks like Cammie Dunaway, NOA’s executive VP of sales and marketing confirmed that she’ll take the stage at this year’s E3 again. On the bright side, she promises that we won’t see any antics this year like attempting to snowboard.

Here’s Ms. Dunaway addressing why Nintendo fans should be excited about E3:

“Well, because, I’m going to be up on stage presenting, something that your fans ought to love. But I’m not gonna snowboard, I’m not gonna show my mother’s day card. I’m just going to talk about the games.”

There was one other detail that Cammie touched upon, again about E3. I’m not too sure if she was cut off, but when asked if there was anything she could say about E3, she simply shrugged her shoulders said, “All I can say is I hope we have something.”
