what I emwan is they all made games for GC and all early on in its life, or have you all forgotten already? When GC started out it had much better support than it has had in the last two years. Sega, Accliam, Namco, Konami, EA, Ubisoft, Activistion, Disney, they ALL made gaems for GC rigth off the bat or within its first year. I am not saying Wii has worse support I am saying it is not much better yet. JUST cuz they same companies who supported GC are Supporting Wii doesnt mean much.
OK by supporting the system right out the door I meant they had all signed up and annoucned gaems for it, don't act like you forgot all the announcments early on it its life and even before launch cuz you have short term memory if you have,. Is till haev the issue if GI that showcases all the companies and list thier titles announced for the first two eyars of GC life and that list is just as big and somewhat more impressive than what has been announced for Wii so far. Ill provide ascan if you dont beleive me. GC had STELLER support at teh begining. Hence the reason why so many games got made for it in the first two and a hafl years, it was late 03 when support dropped off.
Nowhere did I say GC has an many titles at launch, but it did have the exact same companies making games for it and Konami and Capcom both gave GC plenty of exclusive titles and many were great games and Konomi onlsy shafted GC after Twin Snakes bombed yet their mulit platform games kept coming and GC even got superior versions at tiems.
Damn people have short term memories. Just look through all the old posts from pre GC launch and early in its life, peopel were announcing GC games rigth and left, just like Wii. I am not saying its not Good support rightnow I am saying it is NO BETTER than what GC had, and not the luanch title but the first two years. GC got off ona good foot but fell apart late in 03 and hasnt gotten back on track since.
MK Deadly Allience was a HUGE game when it came out anbd stirred up quit a buzz and sold better on GC than the other two initialy.
I am not trying to sound pessimistic what I am saying is dont get too optimistic I know that for me the GC line up went from decent to bearable to crap in a matter of months.
now GRANTED GC didnt have no where near the success as Wii is having so I, like many here, do hold on that it iwll get better. But comeone even with all the quantity of games out now how many are actually GOOD games? or even the ones announced so far? MOST of the games on that list are just GC sequels anyways so how is it special or different? seriously think abotu it some more and refresh your memories a bit.
Out the door GC had PLENTY of devs who had SIgned up and were developing games, just not very many made it intime fore launch, but tehyw ere swithcing for crap N64 dev kits to GC dev kits and learning a new system whereas Wii devs only ahd to port GC games over and work the controlls into the game.
It was quicker for them to port games so it makes sense games came out early on. I rememebr being inmpressed witht he early GC games and the early 3rd paarty stuff and knew it would only get better, but I saw how well that turned out.
If I must I will dig out thet GI list and provide scans or at the very list type up what it contains, never mind the Rare stuff that went to Xbox four years latter. Most of the early announcments were just as promising as what we got here. Not saying Wii wont have good support just saying it is not so far so much better than GC to get hopes up too high. Next year maybe Ill feel better about the line up but I was ioptimistic enough to get a Wii at launch where I waited for a year to get the Cube. (not cuz of lack of games but cuz I was still pissed they dropped N64 just a year after I got one and wasnt ready to replace it yet.)
