Codemasters wants to bring Wii owners quality titles only

“You can’t ignore Wii, but it’s bewildering watching what other publishers are doing. Codemasters has taken a more cautious strategy on Wii which has been the right thing to do. We are not going to make cheap, crappy ports. DIRT on Wii, for instance, is not Mario Kart. Overlord 2 is a gamer’s game. We’re not planning to compete in this ‘big head sports arena’ that everyone is obsessed with – the shelves are cluttered with those games. What you’ll see from us is quality games for gamers built for the Wii.” – VP Alex Bertie
It’s good to see than more developers such as Codemasters are taking the Wii more seriously. I think most Wii owners have had enough with cheap and crappy ports.

Little King’s Story sequel may happen
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 6 Comments
“If Little King’s Story turns out to be a big hit and if I can get everyone together again then maybe we will consider it. At the moment I can’t say whether we will or not because we are concentrating on getting this one finished. I can say that we have never considered making a series out of Little King’s Story, we only thought about getting together and making a good game. Let’s wait and see.” – Harvest Moon creator Yasuhiro Wada
I’ve really liked what I have been able to see thus far of Little King’s Story. If the first game is successful, I see no reason as to why a sequel couldn’t be created.
Werehog from Sonic Unleashed will return says Black Knight director
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 5 Comments
“For the improvements, I can’t think of anything right now off the top of my head. If I think of any ideas then Sonic Unleashed 2 will be the time for that, so I don’t really have an answer for that. But you will see the Werehog again. I like Secret Rings very much, but when it came to making this title [Sonic and the Black Knight] we chose to do something different. All the good things about Secret Rings belong to that specific game. So in the same way, unless we’re going to make Sonic Unleashed 2 you might not see him again. But if we are going to make it, you might see him again. It’s a possibility.” – Sonic and the Black Knight director Tetsu Katano
I hope I’m not the only one that believes bringing back the werehog is an absolutely terrible idea. If anything, the werehog was criticized more than anything else in Unleashed.
