Well, Marvelous, we would love to see that, too. But we get why focusing on the Wii for now is a good idea; huge install base, cheaper development, and technical hurdles figure into the equation, right?
Marvelous CEO Yasuhiro Wada explained his Wii focus in a recent interview, saying that Nintendo has been good to them. Their next two games, No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle and Little King’s Story, are also Wii exclusives. But he’d like to someday more onto other consoles. He says in a Gamasutra interivew that he is “very interested in the more hardcore platforms.”
“All of the development projects that are going on require a lot of technical skills and techniques, and we’d love to eventually improve to the point where we can go on to the PS3, 360 and PC,” says Wada.
And it seems like they’re about to overcome the money and skill hurdles:
“To be honest, we always wanted to make a game on the hardcore platforms, but at that time, there wasn’t enough money or skill. But now, I think we’re at the point where we can actually go into it and start thinking that we can actually do it.”
We’re looking forward to that, Marvelous.
