I'm not necessarily 'down' on Nintendo - I played more Wii than anything over the weekend.

If they knew they needed the amount of storage that blu-ray offers, then there's no way it would fit to begin with....Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037602872274407171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598877299622973005.post-29880801691813171822011-07-04T11:00:04.990-04:002011-07-04T11:00:04.990-04:00@Robert - right?

I mean, thankfully, I have lots of systems. it doesn't generally bother me when it's being made for one system and not another, but it's becoming a trend.<br /><br />IGN just reported that Tales of Grace - originally a Wii game - is not getting a Wii localization. Instead it's getting released in North America for ps3 only:<br /><br />http://wii.ign.com/Chalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598877299622973005.post-29044078616744890202011-07-04T10:46:27.179-04:002011-07-04T10:46:27.179-04:00Lol, wordy, but that captures the feel of what'...Lol, wordy, but that captures the feel of what's not going on right now.<br /><br /><br />Look at Persona 4 being released for PS2 *two* years after the PS3's release...

Are they right or wrong? I'm not sure, but I do believe they have a better view of the overall American marketplace than I do. <br /><Matt Sainsburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102427451460905581noreply@blogger.com
