Jul 2nd 2009 7:45PM he needed to prove the game would sell, and everything sells on Wii. Sad But True.
Suda 51: next No More Heroes won't be on Wii {Joystiq}
Jul 2nd 2009 7:43PM The game is very simple, I agree, but people didn't even give it a chance to try it. But that's what happens to all semi-violent games on Wii.
Rumor: EA cancels Wii Brutal Legend that might not even have existed [update] {Joystiq}
Jul 1st 2009 9:54PM The same thing happened with Psychonauts, came out on PC, xbox and PS2, while very good reviews came from everywhere, gamers didn't seem to care, and had abysmal sales.
Of course, the sad part was that the game was a total fit with the nintendo users who were craving for AAA third party games, and had to spend all their money buying buying million of copies of Resident Evil 4 instead that same year...

Michael Jackson honored in Battlefield Heroes, kind of [update: Costumes will be free] {Joystiq}
Jun 30th 2009 6:46PM they can't use that. Just let the Michael Jackson lawyers know about this and they will sue for the complete Battlefield profits.
I don't think EA asked for permission for this.
Tigon's Ian Stevens: For Hollywood, 'making video games has been the same thing as making action figures' {Joystiq}
Jun 30th 2009 3:03PM Video games are still seen and more marketing stuff you can sell licenses to. Look for example at The Beatles Rockband, I bet you they can't tell the difference between a video game and making some vinyl toys, just when they saw they asked for their master recordings and saw the buckets of cash, they got interested, even showed up for E3 for an undisclosed amount of money from Microsoft. You can bet your ass they don't even show up for the music promotions for their cds.
Funny how at this moment Michael Jackson died and he seems to be one of the few guys in Hollywood that actually understood this business. He only other hollywood megastar that understands what video games are and how they are not the same as movies seems to be Peter Jackson, of course, he has to make a game first to see if he really does understand.
Steven Spielberg doesn't. Boom Blox sucked considering who he is in movies, it could have been released by a cellphone game company and and it seems his other 2 projects are cancelled.
