Does it look super interesting. And for those of you that have it, is it worth getting?

It does look interesting to me.

It does look fun and interesting, but I don't have a Wii, just an Xbox 360 and a PS3. My sister was a Wii, so I got it for her for Christmas.

I think the game was canceled? Maybe it was canceled for Windows?

Nope, it wasn't cancelled, since I bought it for a gift today! They originally planned to release the game for Windows, Xbox 360 and PS3, but they later decided to drop all that and release it for the Wii. That sucks, because I want to play it, but I don't have a Wii, because I don't like motion controls.

Seems like a cool concept. They just need to put it together right. But it sounds like it got good reviews so they probably did.

I played it at Best Buy on tuesday, but they really should have released it on the PS3 & 360. The motion controls don't do the concept justice.

I don't think that there were ever plans for it to be on any system besides the Wii, at least not once development was well underway. I'd be interested to read about those plans if someone has a link.

I'm kind of sad to hear that its not getting favorable reviews on here. But whoever said it first is right, the wii is hard to make games on. That's why it doesn't have a lot of good third party titles, sadly.

Hmm...that's unfortunate. I was looking forward to what Warren Spector could bring to Disney.

On the plus side, maybe it'll hit the bargain bins :oops:

This is what has happened to every Nintentendo non-handheld system since the 64, and maybe the SNES (I don't know enough about it to make a judgment call). The 64 was the last console that held cartridges, and to make one cart cost the company $30. The GameCube had those weird baby discs that were a pain in the butt to make, as are the Wii discs, which are basically normal-size versions of the GC discs. You can't use a normal DVD burner to make them, driving up cost to developers. Good for preventing file-sharing, not so good for keeping costs down and productivity up. Combine the weird discs with the new motion controls, and the Wii is definitely the hardest system ever to make games for. (I know the 360 & PS3 both have motion controls now, but you can make a game without them, so they don't really count).

Very true. The real problem I have with Nintendo now a days is that they spend too much time trying to be independent with their technology when what they should be caring about is making good games. Their gadgets and do-hickeys are nice ideas at first, but they just end up turning away good game developers that don't want to be bothered putting together games on such a hard system to program.

I honestly believe that a system itself just needs to be playable because the games will speak for themselves. I bought my wii to play super smash bros brawl, mario kart and the stuff on the virtual console. I never play Wii Sports. The only game I have for it that I actually use the motion control is Lego Batman because you have to use it there. So I've never really cared about the technology. Some people do though.
