Dear Reader:
Tim Schafer wanted Psychonauts on Wii, wants to make a Wii game, but the decision rests with publishers
“Double Fine would love to make something for Nintendo’s fine machine, but it’s not up to us. It’s the publisher’s money, so they get to decide what platform to invest in. In other words, IT’S NOT OUR FAULT! I personally would have loved to make Psychonauts for the Game Cube. (Well, not literally me personally. I would have loved to tell someone else to make it, and I would have loved to watch them do it, and I would have loved yelling, “Faster! Faster!” as they worked.) I really hope we get a chance to make a game for the Wii some day. Why don’t you spam your favorite publisher with mail right now and ask them to send us money to make a Wii game?” - Tim Schafer
I never understood why Psychonauts didn’t land on Cube. That game seemed perfect for the Cube audience, but it just wasn’t meant to be. Let’s hope that Wii project does come along some day.
