With Project Cafe on the horizon, it makes sense that most developers will be cutting back on Wii support. Everyone’s looking forward to the future, including third-party companies. One such publisher is Capcom, who recently revealed that they only expect to develop two Wii titles this fiscal year – down from five the previous year.
It’s also worth pointing out that DS/3DS games are expected to see a slight decrease as well, from eleven titles last year to nine this coming year. You can check out the full results for all platforms below (numbers in parenthesis indicate previous year data).
PS3: 16 titles, 8 million units (11 / 6.2 million)
X360: 14 titles, 4.7 million units (11 / 4.2 million)
DS/3DS: 9 titles, 2.4 million units (11 / 1.7 million)
PSP: 11 titles, 2.2 million units (11 / 6.2 million)
PC/Other: 3 titles, 500,000 units (3 / 500,000)
Wii: 2 titles, 200,000 units (5 / 1.4 million)
The initial video of the Metroid: Other M stage in Dead or Alive: Dimensions showed a brief cameo appearance by Samus. Of course, it’s a well-known fact at this point that she isn’t playable, but you can bring her out for a power bomb explosion.
When playing in the Geothermal Power Plant stage (unlock it by completing the six courses in Arcade Mode), it seems as though blowing, whistling, or speaking into the microphone will bring Samus out for a brief moment. She’ll drop her bomb, and you’ll switch positions with your opponent.
