“No, when it comes to the Wii, because literally the Wii does not have the processing power that would be required to do a game like this.” – Jeffrey Gullett, assistant producer of Lucas Arts
The Wii may not be able to handle most of the games currently available on the Xbox 360 and PS3, though developers have managed to pull off amazing technical feats based on the Wii’s limitations. The developers of LostWinds, for instance, were forced to work around a file size limit, yet still was capable of producing graphics that are superior to most retail Wii games.
“Possible… The ‘or something like this’ part [Bionic Commando/Lost Planet] we could talk about in a couple weeks perhaps.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/Vice-President of Strategic Planning & Business Development of Capcom
All long job titles aside, I’m sure 99% of the hardcore gaming population knows which event will be taking place in a few weeks. Yep, E3. Capcom has supported the Wii very well by delivering Zack & Wiki, Resident Evil titles, and Okami. More support from the company would definitely aid third party support on the system. The comment from Mr. Svensson seems to hint at a new IP; however, this could be a spin off of Bionic Commando or Lost Planet.

“Consumers have the option of either deleting the game and downloading it again for no additional Wii Points, or transferring the game from Wii to external SD memory card.” – Tom Prata, senior director of project development of NOA
It’s confounding as to why Nintendo provides such a plain answer about a hard drive. WiiWare has been released, which means only a few titles will be able to be on the system at once. If Nintendo continues to develop more WiiWare channels and plans on launching more WiiWare and Virtual Console games, how can they honestly believe consumers will be satisfied? Fans are going to reach a saturation point soon, so this is a pressing issue which needs to be addressed.
