Dear Reader:
Capcom talks Wii opinion, titles
The following comment is from Christian Svensson, Sr. Director of Strategic Planning & Research at Capcom…
We have more titles coming to Wii than what’s been announced HOWEVER, I must admit, many of them (outside of RE) are not mature titles despite the fact that’s an area Capcom is known for.
By and large, we don’t see the Wii being home to an sizble mature playerbase outside of some of the early adopters. We see it as being very, very broad with a family focus (especially in Japan). If there is a “core player base” on Wii, within two years, it will be largely a younger player (far younger than 360 or PS3).
You’ll see more announcements later this year on this front.
Good - Capcom is supporting Wii, Bad - They have already pegged the system as having a kiddy focus. That doesn’t mean the games they put out won’t be excellent (Mega Man is for younger audiences right?), but I know a lot of people will be upset by the news. Thanks to Johnny4 for the heads up.
