Street Fighter IV on Wii is 'definitely doable'

A portion of a 1up interview with producer Yoshinori Ono...

1UP: There's been some talk from Capcom -- I can't remember if it was you or someone else who said this -- that if there's enough demand for it, a Wii version of Street Fighter 4 could be possible. So where are you with things now? How would you view a Street Fighter game on the Wii -- would you keep it as "Street Fighter 4" or do some sort of "Street Fighter Kids?"

YO: Yeah, it's definitely true that we've had a lot of requests for a port for the Wii. And it's definitely doable. We just don't have any plans for it yet, that's all. If we feel strongly enough that it would sell, I'd imagine we'd do it.

1UP: So is there really any question within Capcom that a Wii version would sell?

YO: Going back to my philosophy for Street Fighter, the game is essentially a tool, not just a unique piece of entertainment. I think of it like chess -- that game can be played anywhere. As long as people want to play Street Fighter 4, it could be on anything -- even this iPhone, for that matter [Points to the iPhone on the table]. It really could be on any platform that could support it. So let's just see what happens.

FUCK YEAR, TYRANIDS FOR DOW2.

I assume in the 8 or so years since I've played Warhammer that the Tyranids have been made far less sucky?

That's not the reason I'm excited Foolz. Dawn of War (and the expansions) was a great game, but was always missing the Nids - they were the only major faction that weren't implemented. Having them in there, it's good enough.

Ubisoft in Bizaare Monkey Experiment!

by Gamingeek

In an uncommon act of generosity and bravery, Ubisoft have unveiled their latest classic title for the best selling Nintendo Wii console. The experimental game: Monkey Madness allows psychiatric patients, girls and midgets to dress up various apes and monkeys in a litany of outifts. Yves Guillemot described the game at Leipzig today as "Better than eating Monkey poo", when questioned the frisky frenchmen then admitted to having done this in real life.

As a concession to an ever growing cry from hardcore gamers, the developers are adding -in addition to- sailor, firemen and policemen outfits; costumes based on Hard Gay dominatrix outfits, bearded hippy outfits and crotchless pants.

PETA are currently assesing the impact of this game on the Monkey population amid allegations of animal abuse at Ubisoft's Montreal office. Wii owners meanwhile are salivating over this very 'special' game.

So I typed this shit for nothing? Thanks for the comments, I hate you all.

Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop hands-on

I'm still profoundly disappointed in capcom with this. Why not just make an original game damnit?

So they don't think a Streetfighter game would sell on wii? Assholes.

These have to be some kind of special Bullshots but Ubisoft have released some new screens for their Dogs Petz playground game on Wii

The last two look like wii pics. The rest are bullshots or PC.

Licking their balls.

Actually look at that rock, look at the snow, look at the buildings, and look at the snowboarder. Note how none of them go together at all. :X

SSX actually has a consistent style to it. Some of the night shots would be OK (in fact definitely better than SSX) if the snow trail didn't look like a slurpee, and the trees didn't look like lego.

Who cares though, the only question is how are the effects and the sense of speed, neither of which you can tell from a screenshot.

There be people here?

I was starting to feel abandoned

You can check the visuals in the videos posted above but they are horrible quality. Even the real people in the footage have pixellated faces.

Ah, after the Red Alert and HotD trailers the Cold Mountain one didn't really have a chance it? Snore.

The outside shots of the building are fantastic thogh.

Won't be much help them.

Wrong again, GG. Simple economics will be making Wii exclusive games. It is cheaper than the other two plus the userbase is bigger. So more potential sales for less costs!

Third parties should be making a greater number of games for a lower combined cost and spreading the risk, at least testing what works or not. This two party system of hardcore on one, casual on the other. Or quality here, quick buck there simply has to end. Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 and Twilight Princess make 3rd party games look like some sort of joke on the system.

Whereas last time on GC you at least had games which could rival those titles in quality or production values. BGE or RE4 etc.

Well Capcom is failing hard on the Wii, but al least the Wii is getting de Blob, Fragile, MadWorld (GoTY 09), Deadly Creatures, Little King's Story (GoTY 0, Tenchu 4 (Must buy, just to waggle a cat), Rune Factory Wii and Conduit!

Edit: how can I forget Mushroom Men, shame on me!

BTW I did 60 updates today so I am done for the day. If Dvader doesn't show up then feel free to post up until Iga's shift on Friday.
