According to Aussie-Nintendo.com, the leading Nintendo news site for Australia, 3rd party titles for the Wii will be lacking big time in the features department. Apparently, Nintendo has left the game developers in the dark, therefore they are unable to develop games that can be unique to the system. These findings are contrary to what has already been announced and other details.
For example, Aussie-Nintendo claims that there will likely be no online-enabled games for the Wii at launch time. They name two Wii games as specific examples, Tony Hawk Downhill Jam and Call of Duty III. However, Cubed3.com, a major Nintendo news source claims that Call of Duth III will feature 16 online multiplayer mayhem. But multiplayer capabilities isn’t the only feature being left out of 1st gen Wii games…
The wii-mote speaker is said to be another feature that games will not immediately take advantage of. This speaker used to build sound depth to games, may only be utilized by Nintendo developed games and Red Steel maker Ubisoft. Even Pro-G, a UK gaming site, mentions a hands-on experience with Red Steel, stating that it’s a “first step” in what the Wii will offer.
The negative news surrounding the Nintendo Wii is few and far between, but hits close to home with avid fans. Consider what gamers are most excited about for the Wii and what’s been mentioned here. If Wii games are utilizing the Wii to it’s potential at launch, will we be left with a half-developed overhyped console? There is still time for Wii developers to fine tune their product, so hopefully we can all believe the hype.
