Simon Jeffery talks Wii
Posted by Ryan. Filed under News, Nintendo Wii, Ryan.
Sega of Americas head honcho Simon Jeffery has spoken to Game Daily today about the Nintendo Wii, he specifically says that the Wii shouldn’t be pigeonholed as a casual gamers console and hardcore games have a place on the console too. I agree!
hardcore games on the Wii may not be getting enough traditional gaming to satisfy their needs as developers and publishers rush to flood the Wii market with more casual fare. Sega sees this as an opportunity, though, and believes the market dynamics on Wii will be changing.
This is all find and dandy Simon but talking is one thing and delivering is another, where is my Jet Set Radio Wii? or REZ? where is my Skies of Arcadia? what about my Ristar in the vain of Mario Galaxy? or Comix Zone in the vain of Viewtiful Joe?
Dare I say it… where is my Shenmue 3. (Preferably on Xbox360 but at this point I’d take it on the N-gage if your offering.)
Ok I’ll stop now…. no wait… Kid Chameleon, Toy Commander the list is endless we all know this! The amount of Sega games I would happily take on the Wii is hugh.
Back up your claim Jeffery, back up your claim!

When I think of games that could appeal to both the hardcore and the novices, one game sticks out like a shining diamond that needs to see a release on the Wii with several appropriate control methods.
