My hypothesis: Wii is at least as good as Sony’s PS3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360, if not better, at selling ‘core’ third party titles.

It seems to me that in the last year and a half, third party Wii developers have been complaining more and more about how the Wii has caused their games to fail, and subsequently lose money. Is this true? Well, developers have definitely lost money, but I don’t believe it’s the fault of the Wii, and the reason is simple: People are making comparisons that take average-reviewed niche games and compare them with critically acclaimed mainstream games. The fact of the matter is that comparing No More Heroes to Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3 is just ridiculous, because no matter what system a game like No More Heroes is released on it will not sell as well as a mainstream shooter game. Therefore, the goal of this article is to compare the sales of a game like No More Heroes to another game in its genre with similar review scores, rather than taking unfair comparisons and basing my judgments off of them.

Paris, 5 april 2010.

Today, DK Games, a premier independent video game developer, releases Fishie Fishie their one-button game for those that like something a little different. Fishie Fishie is first released in the Americas, followed by Europe at a later date.

Fishie Fishie is a game that will test your reflexes to the max. Under its colorful, sweet exterior lurks a game that is both ridiculously easy to learn and terrifically challenging to master. You are a fish(ie) who has to survive over 100 levels in various game modes, in situations that just get crazier and crazier! “Capture the Star”, “Soccer”, “Survival”, playing solo or in a team… And amazingly the whole game is played with just one button! No need to get to grips with complicated commands. Here, all you need to do is press the A Button on your Wii Remote™.

“[Apple] is not having an impact on Nintendo when you look at our business, our volume, our hardware, our software. I’ve seen data that suggestions that while consumers are constantly downloading Apps, they play with them for a few times and then they are moving on to the next thing. Clearly it doesn’t look like their platform is a viable profit platform for game development because so many of the games are free versus paid downloads. If our games represent a range between snacks of entertainment and full meals depending on the type of game, (Apple’s) aren’t even a mouthful, in terms of the gaming experience you get.” – Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime

The thing about the iPad is that it’s not a traditional system. There’s much more to the device that just gaming. Also, unlike Nintendo’s handhelds, playing titles won’t be of huge importance to some consumers. I’m sure that not everyone immediately thinks of gaming when the iPad is brought up.

“Trackmania is a much more skill-based racing game, rewarding players who master the vehicles and the tracks. Without wanting to belittle the achievements of the team who made Wheelspin, I feel that we’ve got a game that pushes, physics and gameplay further than any other racing title on the Wii.” – Trackmania producer Dan Fletcher

I have a lot of faith in Trackmania Wii since the DS title was of very high-quality. I’m sure the game won’t have a hard time topping Wheelspin!
