I do enjoy those ninja picks!

Also, I agree. Original titles = better chance of it actually being a game someone would really want to play.

Ninjas playing DS's seemed cooler in my dreams, though.

I think this is a step in the right direction. I couldn't agree with your assessment any more Summa. The Wii needs original titles that are built around the control, not ports that the wii controls are pasted on.

What about the NEW Smash Bros characters rumored?!

Rumors are just that, rumors. Who cares.

It appears as though THQ might be doing the same kind of thing...

I don't like the sound of "already popular franchises". Original IP >^* endless rehashes of the same old crap. Also, EA canada doesn't have a good record of much but sports games. I don't like sport games.

Still, good to see a company declaring their support of not ports.

What is discouraging is that on the front page of their site they talk about a 360 game.

BBbuutt...

Summa has been more or less justified in his disappointment with the Wii, people. Your gasps of fanboy terror are what has fueled his troll fire.

Credit where credit is due, Summa you are now making sense.

I gave it to you the other day, on balance I think my response to your ongoing hatred towards a small modest affordable console was justified, but now you are redeeming yourself.

This is what people want from game journalists - an insight into what the game industry should be doing, not whether you like something or not, every man and his dog has an opinion on something. So what, every blog on the net has that, but you are in a position to get to the real issues in gaming, and the main issue is - Do game developers hate us or are they really that bad?

No one wants you to like the Wii, I couldn't care less if you hate everything I love, such differences make the world go round right? All we ask is that people stop blaming a perfectly good piece of hardware for the failings of lazy developers. You cannot credit the PS3 or 360 for the good games they have, that is down to the good work of talented developers, likewise with the Wii.

The Wii was/is meant to be the console of choice for the visionary, for slightly leftfield developers who think out of the box, it was meant to be a santuary for artists and designers who genuinely want to produce software with style and substance above tech specs, it hasn't quite turned out that way...yet, but this has nothing to do with the Wii. The Wii won't change generations of laziness and stagnation overnight, and expecting it to do so is a big ask, it will take time.

Please keep this up Summa, put pressure on these developers not the hardware, because truth be told, a talented design team could still make an amazing game from 16bit hardware.

*SHHHHHHHHHH!!!*

Ex-EA, whatever.

This sounds like a pretty cool thing. Let's home they put out some good shit now.

I remember Disney making a company just to make Wii games, and EA taking the people behind Tiger Woods games and dedicating them to Wii games only. This isn't the first time this is happening.
