No joke,he was or still is world champion of Star Soldier,and that's how he ended up working for Hudson. The world button press record is 19 per second,or something like that.

Y'know what's the problem?

do you remember the rabid nintendo fanboys', the ones who allow nintendo to eat their babies, how much complained about not fully using the gamecube controller in mario kart? and altought the wiimote is a fun option in brawl, the most "hardcore" stick to the antique setings (fox, final destination, no items, high gravity)?

IF the people willing to accept ANYTHING (it was explcit when you bought a wii) is not that open to new options, how do you expect anyone taking risks? Especially, after seeing how capcom made an original tittle and failed, because it was not banana swinging-mario.

I had the same problems, even with the rich input devices in today's pcs (voice input, remotes, touch screens) most of my customers are rather fearful to use them, and stick to the good old mouse. Seeing this, How could I take the risk to invest time and money in the making of some product that simple will scare my customers? I keep making shitty powerpoint slideshows. And what is worse, they keep selling so I don't really need to change.

The only things I've learned though this generation is that MS and Sony rushed to market. In general, the last generation needed another two years before the introduction of the next systems.

Now if only 3 Party Developers focused as hard as Nintendo... and provided us gamers with the level of quality we were used to from the last Generation, mainly the PS2. If they think they can make a quick buck with crappy casual games only, no wonder their profits won't rise.

I think this could change, though. A lot of attention from the Gig 3rd Parties towards taking the Wii SERIOUSLY might have switched already (meaning BIG Projects being in development already), but since everyone underestimated the Wii from in the first place, it's obviously still taking some time (like 1 two 2 years) until the really good 3rd Party title come out.

That's why I'm really looking forward to this year's E3.

No hate, but let's not act like the Wii market is rushing to Hudson in droves. Their money is coming from the Turbo faithful, myself included.

with the highest respect a ps fanboy can have in mind, I still have a question:

If surpassing the sales and the massive hype it still has (not to mention tne negative campaign against the ps3 and 360, half deserved) is not already the victory for the wii, what do everyone wait ? Or better, What does this menans for the other consoles? a possible comeback? wtf?

now, on topic,subjetive bad games, great games, whatever, the wii is a great help for keeping alive and almost untouched the videogame market, specially during unpredictable hard financial times. Rejoice !

What else have they been cashing in on lately? It can't be fumbled Bomberman remakes?

Back to Hudson, their disc-based launch titles were all shit weren't they? But I suppose they'd look a lot better for $5 each, which may be why their WiiWare lineup doesn't seem so bad. :)

@TheTime: When you say the console war 'really should be waged' next generation, do you mean that the console manufacturers should all purchase actual missiles, tanks, mercenary soldiers etc? While that would be entertaining, as a pacifist I'd have to disagree. Although (insert tired joke about how Microsoft's huge ICBMs would crash into the sea halfway to Japan, Sony's even bigger nuke would work but be delivered a year late and at ten times the cost, and Nintendo's system would only allow them to annihilate other people in the same room).

Compared to the last 2 generations, the PS3 must be considered the loser. You can't go from 80% market share to 25% and not be considered "losing". Having said that, the PS3 will make money, have good games, and last longer than the 360 and Wii.

LedRush

Now lets get out more classic bomberman goodness! ;D

also, after the winner and loser has been determined...will there be a loser? clearly the wii is the winner, there is no disputing that. but 360 and ps3 have decent sales as well. compared to the last two generations, i dont think there will be any clear cut losers this time around.

Actually Hudson is one of the few companies

A follow-up to DreamMix TV for the Wii in English would be oh so nice though. With the Smash Bros crowd really big they could get quite a few people looking for all those third party characters.

Ah the Hudson wiiware offerings look very very good.

A sequel to Alien Crush, A five player online Tetris are just some of the titles they are bringing to the wiiware.
