Industry News | Midway Blames Wii Shortages [news]

I second that. The best they've given us is MK. Armegeddon.

Perhaps if the products weren't crap ports...

Those lazy bastards why are they blaming nintendo for their own rushed out shit ports.

OMG DUDE YOU OWN!!! "Perhaps if the products weren't crap ports...." your my hero <3

<_< maybe if they was was some good it sell look at res evil 4 lol they cant blame Big N

Just think of all the people queuing up to buy a Wii with the latest Mortal Combat this christmas. The disappointment, the tears, the domestic violence.

Support, what support? A half-assed port of Mortal Kombat, wow great job Midway, bravo.

It just had to be said - really. Other devs and Nintendo are really pushing the boat to create some original and decent looking titles.

What do we get?

Some lazy worse-than-DS Crusin' and some party game not even your grandma would buy you for Christmas.

iam telling u copcom and Big N and Sega are the only one really doing a good job on games for wii right now

And Konami.

I can't believe that's the best excuse they could come up with... Sad, so sad...

So, let me get this straight:

1) Midway's complaining that Nintendo has made such an awesome new console and people are so rabid to get their grubby mits on one that Nintendo is having serious problems supplying their insatiable demand (despite them ramping up production cosiderably)...

2) and gamers haven't bought into their half-assed ports of last gen-games.

So they're cutting back support for the hottest game console on the market because of this? This is insanity. Shame on you Midway. Dumbasses.

The scariest part about this, is how many third parties are doing this type of crap with Wii. I'm so tired of getting pissed with these 3rd party companies and their insane decisions. *sigh*

don't forget the fact that Wii has the greatest marketshare this generation. Morons work at Midway.

Shame, I was looking forward to Blacksite 51 Wii.

shortages? Yeah, it's a bit of a problem, but considering Wii is already the most popular console in this gen's console war (as far as sales go at least...) it's probably more to do with the fact that the only game Miday's done for it is an effortless port of a PS2 game. Woohoo.

Be realistic mate. They wouldn't have bothered rebuilding a UE3 game for the Wii, even if they were supporting it more strongly.

Midway lol

This definitely has the smell of "shareholder mollification" about it.

But I want a brand new Wii update of Marble Madness, already. Get on it, Midway.

Midway makes me laugh.

They should stop making 4/5 shitty ports/party games/old MK builds and if they dedicate all their resources from these 4/5 games into one decent, ground-up Wii game I'm sure they'll be raking it in.

You say that like Midway still has people who can make original games.

Less support from Midway? I see nothing to shed tears over...

wtf the wii is still OUTSELLING everything else? how is this logical, why dont you just not mke games on any platform? cos that ps3 sure aint sellign well...that would be better
