Capcom: Fewer, but larger Wii games to be released this year
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 9 Comments
“In 2010, you won’t see as many Wii games from Capcom, but the ones we release will be much larger, event-size games. I also expect to see the market dominated more and more by Nintendo releases with fewer games from the major third parties, like EA, Activision, and Ubisoft.” – Chris Kramer, Capcom senior director of communications and community
I have absolutely no problem with this news. In the first half of 2010, two significant games – Monster Hunter 3 and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom – will be released. If Capcom can continue to ship high-quality titles like those, I’m sure Wii owners will be satisfied.
