Topic: wii and the rts

[walkingdead2]

am i crazy or is this the perfect console for an rts?  i love them, im sure most of you do as well, and there few and far between on consoles.  i would love to see starcraft 2 or world in conflict or even games that aren't nessesaraly in the rts vein but close like sim city or Caesar 4 or something like that.

any how if there have been topics like this sorry but im new to the fourm so i just thought i would put my 2 cents in and see what people thought.

I think people would agree unanimously and I think its a shame that Firaxis stopped on the Wii version of Civilization Revolution just because they made the interface toward PS3 and X360 territory.

While the control would work I think the display wouldn't.  A really busy RTS needs a lot of display real estate, so I think HD would almost be mandatory.

The controls would work but I doubt as well as a mouse or touch screen. I wouldn't want to play a strategy game on a console anyway, I much prefer handhelds and PCs, and also I don't really like real-time strategy, I'm more of a turn-based strategy fan.

Well, C&C and Starcraft worked with 640x480... With 3d it's not much of an issue anyway since you can just zoom and as SupCom and Spring showed you can use icons above a certain zoom level to preserve the overview (though most RTSes just limit your zoom to something ridiculously large...).

I think the DS probably has a better control scheme for RTS games than the Wii does. It could still work on the Wii, though. Hopefully we'll see something materialize for it eventually.

The DS has a really low resolution though, lower than Warcraft or C&C. Can't fit much interface on there. Also more CPU = better unit AI. Though maybe unit AI is mostly a problem with japanese devs who think you can reach any point by just moving straight towards it.

Hmm...

Whatever happened to that rumor that Blizzard was working/going to work on a game for a Nintendo console?

Dang, found the rumor, it was a longshothttp://nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=16673.0
