Looks like Rainy Woods is still coming unless they forgot to update the website. I think it's safe to assume that that's one of the 'mystery titles' and the other one is probably Muramasa because that's the only one that would look like a ps360 game if ported.

I wouldn't know.
I own a PS3 and haven't bought a single one of those games (will probably get ToV, though).
I just find it funny when people keep saying that they'd only buy games like Demon Blade and NMH on the PS3/360.

Seriously, I think it's obvious to most people that the game had an extremely difficult-to-market premise and would have sold poorly on any platform.

Beautiful game gets easily moved to a platform better able to convey it's beauty... and you find the people excited by that prospect to be "funny"?AceBandage said:
I mentioned Nintendo "dragging their feet" on HD. If Nintendo were to release an HD Wii tomorrow, and Marvelous were to release a special director's cut edition of Muramasa with high res assets, I would be just as excited (despite not even owning an HD Wii).
Nintendo is not releasing an HD Wii. That results in a game (potentially) moving from my Wii wanted pile to my 360 wanted pile. Nintendo's problem, not mine.

Good thing for me I don't care for many games on the Wii. Mine has been collecting dust for about 2 years now. There isn't one game on the Wii that I would want to come on the 360/PS3.

Side scrolling games on 360 = fail. I wouldn't want to suffer through Muramasa with the mangled 360 dpad just for marginally prettier graphics.ruby_onix said:

I'm (obviously) one of the biggest Oboro Muramasa fanboys on this board and I support this 100%. The more people who get to experience the game the better. All the same I'm not convinced this is the game they're porting though. In HD it would be way too big for XBLA (PSN doesn't have a limit, does it?) and it's as Japanese as a game can get which doesn't make a lot of sense for the more westernized HD consoles.That and MMV didn't seem to believe in the game enough to publish it themselves outside of Japanruby_onix said:

I wanna say Muramasa but that'll just make too much sense.

Yep, you can even play them with the Wiimote + Nunchuk if you want. Works great in Mirror's Edge!d[-_-]b said:

Nice to see rampant speculation undermining potential Muramasa sales. Exactly the hurdle that game needed.

I would never consider playing a good 2D game on the 360 after having to use the horrible piece of shit MS calls a D-pad while trying to play SFIIHD. I'll trade HD graphics on a 2D game for a d-pad that actually works.

There's no need for the wilful ignorance. You post enough on GAF to know that people have lamented the fact that all of those games weren't on the Wii, whether you personally want those games or not. The image you posted is stupid because it works both ways, and you know it.AceBandage said:
It's even stupider when people complain about games they're looking forward to losing their exclusivity. It couldn't be any more transparent that these people care more about companies more than they care about games. People with these attitudes should be considered deluded at best, paid shills at worst.
Anyone crying out for Wii versions of those games musn't have a gaming PC to begin with. The "HD consoles" are the easiest way (or only way for Tales and FFXIII) to get into these games, regardless of whether you can get certain versions at higher res with better framerate and mod support.Metal Gear?! said:
I think the saddest part about the Marvelous situation was that GAF was so sure the success of this company was gonna show other third parties (Especially Japanese companies) what they were missing out with the Wii.
Instead Marvelous fails on the Wii and freakin a shitty company like Activision(minus blizzard of course) succeeds on it. So now instead we Wii owners get more of the shitty Activision like shovelware instead of great games like from Marvelous.

Fredescu said:
There is a significant difference between the two images. The first exists to refute the idea that there are no games on Wii. No one ever says, "There are no games for those HD consoles." People whining about Wii games going to HD are delusional. People whining about HD games going to Wii are just whiny.
ccbfan said:
Really? GAF was sure of it? I must not be a GAF member, then. As far as I know, Marvelous was never known for putting out best sellers, but for their mildly successful (and I guess profitable) titles among a sea of niche titles... Which is precisely what they've done on the Wii. Most of them aren't even designed around the Wiimote, such as Muramasa and, most notably, Little King's Story (which is a very good game, by the way). To expect their current output to sell really well or even be guaranteed to be profitable is like saying No More Heroes was a failure because it didn't sell 1 million units and bombed in Japan.
Suda51 quote from the latest EDGE:
"I think this is the last NMH that is going to be developed on Wii. To expand NMG to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platofmr, but we've done everything we can with it now."
Could NMH be the game Marvelous are talking about?

You know, having seen the original and then the millions of copycats and spoofs, I've always wondered:
What exactly is the reason for having the sheet over your head in these things?

Sounds more like Suda isn't planning on doing anything with NMH after DS comes out.
I got NMH and will be getting Little Kings Story. I might pre order it after seeing this thread. Might pick up Frontier down the line too. But this is very sad seeing the review scores LKS is getting. I really hope it sells better. It needs some hype seeing as its in the metacritic wii top 10.
EDIT: Pre ordered check.

If there's any doubt about the comments because they come from a blog, no need to have them since MMV themselves said that they are considering porting Wii titles to PS3/360. Saw it in siliconera:

I'd rather they not port their games to PS360. In the first place, their games generally don't look too hot and upscaling it or whatever will make the flaws worse. And in the second place, their game catalog itself isn't too hot - out of the list of potential Wii games they could port, I'd be interested only in Little King's Story and Muramasa. But they'll be out first for Wii, so why wait?
