“No, it will not [release on Wii]. The hardware of the Nintendo is less than that of the other next-gen game consoles and the gameplay is very different.” – Katsuhiro Harada, producer of Tekken 6

Mr. Harada’s statement about the Wii hardware is true, but I don’t see any reason why the gameplay wouldn’t work on Wii. On the other hand, we have seen some disappointing results when developers have attempted to port over a 360/PS3 title for Nintendo’s console. What do you guys think?

– “deep discussions with Nintendo” for trying to skip friend codes. They want to seamlessly include circuit sharing because D/L is almost instant, and anyone should try other’s creations, so they don’t want any barriers. They’ll probably use SD storage as well.
– they want as many online players as possible. Starting with 8, but aiming at 16, more or less.
– 200 tracks included are made with in-game Wii editor, exactly like PC one.
– All Mario Kart control configs + NES-like, using D pad.
– gamescom build is from last Friday (14th). It’s smooth and fast, and already has loads of tracks. Q1 2010 is still the date and keeping 60 fps, the goal.
– snow, coast, rally, stadium, iron and island environments will be there.
– not on PS360 because not being realistic simulator could be underrated. Also because of Wii audience, controls and input for editor
– single / track editor / multiplayer menu and the shop. Race, platform and puzzle are back for single player, aside from “my tracks”.

“We love the idea of voice chat (Wii Speak) and we know that it is a minimum for western players.” – Monster Hunter 3 Tri producer Tsujimoto Ryozo

I’d really love to see WiiSpeak support in the North American version of Monster Hunter 3. Obviously, the peripheral can make communicating with friends much easier. Besides, developers should begin to include the option to use WiiSpeak more often, especially when it can greatly enhance gameplay.
