Sales of Overlord: Dark Legend will determine similar content for Wii
“Codemasters, as a company, we have to take Wii seriously and make Wii games in the right way. To be honest, something like Overlord is going to utterly determine how much more of this kind of content Codemasters pretends. This is a risk for us: we’re assuming that come next summer, there’s going to be a big market for this game to make it work for a while. We’re sure that’s going to work out, and I hope that we’re right. If we are proved really, really wrong and all Wii games that you want to play is Wii Fit, then it comes the problem. But, at this moment in time, I don’t work in the racing group of Codemasters or anywhere with action games, but as you said, the likes of McRae, the likes of F1, those will also come to Wii.” – Dean Scott of Codemasters
We hear statements like these all the time, but it does make sense in a way. If games don’t sell, it makes it more difficult for a company to invest in a higher budget, bigger production values, etc. Overlord: Dark Legend is shaping up to be a nice core game for Wii owners though, so hopefully that audience will show Codemasters support.
