I know - wait until the Wii sells loads more over christmas - the developers will pour in to develop games then.
I see the Wii as having awesome potential, but it feels alot like its a DS - but at home. Resident evil 4 was a good port, but I don't like ports. I like specific titles.
When a title is built FOR a console, you see the best shine out of it. Resident Evil 4, to me, is better on the Gamecube than the Wii because inside I know its pushing the hardware. And when you look at the size of a gamecube (at the time) and the competition - it gives you a good feeling.
I liked Warioware, good art style and things. But multi-platform stuff I am getting tired of. Developers should really treat the Wii as a seperate console now.
Same as the 360 and ps3, I am a bit tired of going to my friends house and playing some laggy split-screen games on the ps3 (aka sonic - he loves sonic). When I had it for the 360 (I was mixed up back then.. lol) there was hardly any lag at all with the split-screen.
What I am eventually trying to say is - I would like developers to just stop whatever they are doing, and start from scratch.
My reason for posting - I am influenced by a Mr.Harry J.Potter...
The game looks alright on the ps3 and 360 (likewise with pirates of the carribbean) (but they still play kinda crappy even with good presentation) and I was hoping for some excellent Wii stuff.
Here is the problem.
After watching the new movie, and getting wrapped up with my nieces and nephews going on about it, I decided to get the game for the Wii.
In the movie, you see the characters trying out the defencive spells, and accurately twitching their wrist to perform such spells.
To me, this would be excellent for the wii remote, the wii remote is highly responsive - so this would be fantastic.
Getting wrapped up in that atmosphere was very cool. So I tried the Wii version out, only to satisfy my need of more of the stuff I got from the movie.
So, on goes the game. And you get to move some furnature from one side of the room to another, with some very basic wii remote movements. twitch it up, twitch it down, and lastly, twitch both numchaku and wii remote up.
Thats all the spells I have learned so far. Oh and some repair spell.
Right now I am exploring Hogwarts, and its very boring. Some nice graphics wouldn't even make this interesting.
I, have now decided that the developers got this wrong, and also Nintendo - for letting them use the wii remote so poorly.
I see only good things for the wii remote in the future, like a great star wars lightsaber game. A good snooker game, a good fishing game, a good survival horror game which isn't a port or a rail-shooter... and hopefully, a good harry potter game where you can do ALL the spells.
It is a shame that games are keeping their roots all the time, alot of them feel like a zelda game or resident evil game, with wii stuff tacked on.
And its the same for the 360 and ps3 - its just pretty graphics on an age-old game engine style.
