This information comes from the Capcom Unity forums. Capcom’s VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development, Christian Svensson, was asked why “online [is] so essential in 360 and PS3 games, but [gamers] haven’t seen an online Wii game.” Mr. Svensson’s reply can be read below.

“As a counter point… Dark Void (a 360/PS3/PC game) has NO co-op or multiplayer, online or offline. There we’re focusing on trying to make the best single player experience we could rather than spreading the resources we have too thinly.

Same theory here. Trying to make the best co-op brawling experience we can without spreading our resources too thinly. If you wanted online co-op, something else would have to have to have been sacrificed and if the core experience isn’t satisfying, then there’s no point in making it an online non-satisfying experience.

First time out with a new team, on a new title on new tech (while very talented, they’d never done a Wii game) with a sizable budget, there’s already more than enough risk in the project. We didn’t (and still don’t) view online co-op as the feature that was buy/no buy for the majority of the audience we’re seeking to reach if we make a good game. Everything else, as I’ve said before, can come in the sequel (God willing we sell enough to have one).”

Upcoming family-friendly action title has gone gold

Epicenter Studios and Conspiracy Entertainment are pleased to announce that “Real Heroes: Firefighter” for Wii™ has gone gold today, and is set to hit retail shelves on August 4. “Real Heroes: Firefighter” challenges players to take on the role of a rookie firefighter and strive to save lives and property from a series of fires raging through a major metropolitan area. “Real Heroes: Firefighter” is rated E10+, and will be released to retail at a family-friendly price point (MSRP – $29.99 USD), with a percentage of proceeds being donated to the Firefighter Cancer Support Network.

Developed by Epicenter Studios, “Real Heroes: Firefighter” emphasizes non-violent, game-integral puzzles and challenges that mirror the on-the-fly choices firefighters face every day. Featuring Epicenter’s proprietary “Thinking Fire” technology, blazes will seem almost alive as they not only attack structures, potential victims and firefighters, but also cause unexpected changes to the environments that will suddenly alter the player’s options and strategies. No two scenarios will play out the same way in “Real Heroes: Firefighter.”
