It’s wrong to assume Wii owners only want games put out by Nintendo or titles offering mini-games, Nintendo’s UK head of communications Rob Saunders has told MCV.
The platform holder has highlighted Activision’s GoldenEye 007 as proof that a good game with support from the publisher can achieve success on Wii.
“The sales of GoldenEye show that these titles can and do perform well on Wii,” said Saunders.
“The idea that Wii owners are only after smaller mini-game compilations or first-party titles isn’t true.
“A good quality title, supported well by both publisher and retail, has just as much chance of performing well as any Nintendo title.”
We’re yet to find out sales figures for GoldenEye. The game launched in the UK on November 5 and charted at No.13, dropping to No.20 in its second week. That’s by no means a flop, but it doesn’t strike us as being particularly successful either.
