Much like Monster Hunter, it has been confirmed today that two more franchises have been moved to the Wii. And both franchises were in dire need of dramatic improvements. ...But I guess we will get waggle instead. Way to go.
The first game announced was Tenchu 4 for the Wii. This series has arguably always had problems, with a total of about 6 or 7 entries. Even the first game garnered mixed reactions. But many people, myself included, always saw potential in this series. After all, what's a better fit to the stealth-action genre than a ninja game?So it was very depressing to hear that the next installment is going to be a Wii game. Not because I don't think that a game cannot be good on the Wii. I think the Wii had a ton of good games. My problems are:
1. This series doesn't belong on the Wii.
2. The Wii is best suited to original IP that has been designed around the Wii's unique control scheme.
3. Putting a series like this on the Wii is usually a sign that the developer is after money instead of actually reviving a dying series.
4. It pains me to even think of a shitty looking Tenchu game with forced waggle.
The second game semi-confirmed was a 3d Castlevania game for the Wii. Everything I just said pretty much applies here. This pains me way more Tenchu though. I wanted so badly for Castlevania to get the 3d series it deserves. I guess it's not going to happen anytime soon. LOL it's even a shitty sequel to Curse of Darkness. LULZ it will probably even be running in the same engine. Hopefully this is just another shitty half-assed port. The Wii loves those.Koji Igarashi has stated on MANY occasions his lack of interest in making a Castlevania for the Wii. I guess the money signs in Konami's eyes won out.
What-ever-the-fuck-ever, at least I still got my 2d Castlevania.
