Destroying a franchise, one game at a time

How is Wii destroying the series. Wii doesn’t make the games and nor is Nintendo. The only one that could be destroying it by making a bad game would be namco themselves. Stop blaming it on Wii and Nintendo. Blame it on the devs.

I don’t blame 360 for completely ruining Bomberman. Cause it was Hudson not 360 or MS. Geez.

I wanna get that game, it’s gonna be awesome, gamespot said it’s similar to twilight princess so being able to use the SC characters in a story is going to be so much fun

First off, taking a new direction isn’t destroying a series. Taking a new direction might even make it better. Second, don’t blame Nintendo or Wii for what the devs are doing.

Yeah I mean Mario Kart was a spin off from the main games and it was one of the first non-platformer mario games and it is hailed as one of the best racing series ever. The same happened with Bomberman Land Touch, it had very fun minigames and it still had the classic VS. mode so it by no means ruined the bomberman franchise. One of the best franchise spin-offs was Metroid Prime Hunters, a great example right here, it may have had adverage single player but its multiplayer was outstanding and earned it a few GOTY awards like best multiplayer on the DS, online functions, and Graphics. Zelda FS Adventures was another one, sure everyone had to have some equipment to play but it was a very fun party game in either co-op or battle mode, it is still a very fun game.

It is partly the Wii’s 'fault' since it can’t handle every game, particularly fighters but it is also the developer’s.

I doubt Nintendo is capable of making a Soul Calibur game.

Some games just aren’t meant to be on the Wii so really it is the developer’s fault for putting it on the Wii.

Soul Calibur will probably be good though, the only good fighting game for Wii because the engine relies on CIRCULAR motions and not much on button combos.

Actully Soul Caliber can work with the wii, Think first off there are horizontal and vertical attacks, makes sense to use the remote like that, next they could make alternative choices when attacking like using the buttons instead.

You guys are forgetting that the Wii Remote can be used in several different ways, not to mention that two fighting games on the Wii are/have used the Gamecube controller as well.

This game is going to rock, especially since Soul Calibur 3 was so bad.

*Sigh* You people don’t seem to understand the game engine.

Fighting games do not work well with the Wiimote because of button combos and such but this one probably will because the combos rely heavily on circular motions.

Just because it sounds good does not mean it is gonna be good. A lot of Wii games have sounded good with motion sensing but have ended up crap. The difference is this one actually has the game engine in its favor and not just random ideas.

is causing chaos.

Then why buy it for the Wii when it can be bought on other consoles with better graphics and such?

Because you won’t have to get a second job to pay for it.

If your job doesn’t pay enough then you need to learn how to get a promotion.

Soul Calibur Legends isn’t a fighting game for the Wii. It’s not like the rest of the series. It’s an adventure game like that of Zelda I believe.

Well actually, I think SSBB will make good use of the motion sensing. SSBB uses four different control methods, two of them involving motion sensing. The Wii remote, and the Wii remote + nunchuk. And since SSBB doesn’t rely heavily on simultaneously pressing a bunch of complicated combos, it won’t be difficult.

DBZ: Tenkaichi 2 was amazing on the Wii. I don’t know what your talking about but that game worked amazingly.

Then again you could just put your house up for a mortgage.
