Third-Party Partners Unleash Great Games, Awesome Peripherals

REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 27, 2010 – Nintendo’s third-party publishing partners are bringing out their heavy hitters this holiday season. Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ owners will have a sizable library of new games to choose from, as well as some cool new peripherals.

“Third-party publishers realize the wide appeal of Nintendo systems and come up with creations that challenge veteran gamers and invite new ones to play,” said Steve Singer, Nintendo of America’s vice president of Licensing. “We’re constantly amazed at the creative ways these talented developers continue to push the boundaries of our hardware. We thank our partners for their continued support.”

Ready at Dawn has worked on one Wii game in their brief history. That title was Okami, and it only required the developer to port the PlayStation 2 version over to Nintendo’s console. Sadly, it seems like Ready at Dawn’s first title on Wii may be their last as well. After discussing the company’s work on the Okamiden port, Ru Weerasuriya indicated that the company has no interest in working with the system again. Therefore, it’s unlikely that we’ll see an original title from the studio on Wii.

In all honesty we’d never thought of doing a port – I don’t think we built the company for that, but we just decided to do that as a passion project.I loved Okami, I think that artistically it’s one of the most amazing things to come out of the industry. Working on it was more of a technical challenge – we started with no assets and literally reverse-engineered the whole thing back onto Wii. It was not your typical port, but it was fun. But it’s not something we would do again, I think.

“To tell you the truth, I don’t think it’s something we would do (make an original Wii game). I understand the power that the Wii has out there, but at the same time, I’ve tried to be a Wii gamer, like all my friends, but most of us have picked it up and dropped it after a few months. I think it wears off. I think the whole novelty wears off with the Wii, and that’s one of the big reasons why we wouldn’t tackle a Wii game. I think so (the novelty is wearing off across the board/will affect sales). I think you’re already seeing that now. The novelty is wearing off, and the only people who are really successful on the platform is Nintendo. It’s not like anybody else out there is really happy with the games and the sales that they make on that platform. So it’s going to work well for [Nintendo], as all of their platforms usually do, but even in America we’re seeing now that it’s slowly dwindling down. Purely from personal experience, I can tell you that most of the people I know who have bought a Wii have it sitting on a shelf somewhere with dust on it, and they haven’t used it in a long, long time.”

This information comes from Alan Johnson, Telltale’s community manager…

“We don’t have any plans to release Back to the Future on the Wii platform at this time.”

Man, I’m really bummed about this. I figured the game would definitely end up on the Wii, especially with Telltale’s recent support for the system. Unfortunately, if you’re a Nintendo fan, you’ll have to consider buying the title on a different platform.

Toys R Us and GameStop held their own versions of a “buy 2 get 1 free” sale recently, and now Target is joining in on the fun. Starting this Saturday, consumers can pick from any three titles – as long as they’re on the Wii, PS3, or 360, and if they fall under the $14.99 – $59.99 price range. Haven’t picked up Kirby’s Epic Yarn or Metroid: Other M yet? Well, now’s your chance! Just make sure to pick the titles you’re interested in before November 6, as the deal will end after that date.
