Pretty big achievement there, how long is each game?

When do we get N64, Gamecube, Saturn & Dreamcast?

Some dude I know on Miiverse who tends to post any and every little bit of news said that N64 and Gamecube were coming, but sometimes he bleats out "announcements" that are only rumours.

Iwata said:

"The reason for the delayed release of our first-party titles was the fact that completing the games released at the same time as the launch of Wii U required more development resources than expected, so some staff members from development teams working on other titles had to help complete them. In short, the development teams of Pikmin 3 and other future games were understaffed during that period."

"It is true that it is becoming increasingly challenging to meet the expectations of consumers who are willing to pay $50-$60 for a game, and it is difficult to break even unless a huge number of units is sold all over the world, so it cannot be denied that software development is becoming more challenging.

Remember what I said about Nintendo needing to scale up for HD development? Well here it is, they found they were understaffed and so games were delayed.

^

In the order in which I played them:

Chains of Olympus was about 6-7 hours, I don't think much longer than that

Ghost of Sparta was slightly longer but not very long.  Perhaps about 8-9 hours if that.

God of War I took me about 12-13 hours I think

and God of War II was longer about 15-16 hours I think.

Started God of War III this morning.  Hope it's not too long so I can finish it by tomorrow night.

I will be very sad if Nintendo start finding it hard to break even with proper full length retail games.  What will they do?  Go handheld only?  And even there it won't be long before many people stop paying £30 for full games on a dedicated handheld when they can pay £1 for games on their phone.

I fear games prices will go up a great deal like before gaming was such a mainstream hobby.

If they remain conservative as always and tortoise like then they can weather the storm, but if they overeach they could fall. I think most of their games are not epic AAA blockbusters anyway. They need to intelligently scale up and spend more but not overspend.

So...where is Call of Duty: Ghosts for Wii U?

"Considering Activision withheld the announcements for...

  • Modern Warfare Reflex
  • Black Ops
  • Modern Warfare 3
  • and Black Ops 2


I really have to wonder what the deal is, and they consistently do this."


Another possibility is that it's the Treyarch vs Infinity Ward Wii thing all over again. Where Treyarch did Nintendo versions, Infinity Ward refused. Treyarch even had to do the MW3 port.

I find it hard to care about Call Of Duty anymore. Even in multi-player terms. I'm much more interested in something like Destiny just because they are much more ambitious. COD relies too much on "Hey look! Military! Weapons! Patriotism! Explosions! OMG!" & its been going on since 2007.

Update: Here is the official response received from an Activision representative.

We don’t have any news for the Wii U at this time, as we aren’t dating next generation platforms yet. Stay tuned.

So Activision consider the Wii U sku as next gen too?

Well the Wii U is a next gen platform even if its not as powerful as the others. Its still next gen in console terms whether haters want to admit it or not. But...didn't they announce PS4 and Nextbox versions? So how are they not dating next-gen versions at this time? They make no sense.

Why not put FarCry Blood Dragon on the Wii U eShop? I think that would be a great title on there.

They would need a fc3 wii u version done. This probably uses all the same FC3 code since there is no wii u version of it it's not worth it.
