View Full Version : Hopes for Wii?

Considering the Wii launch later this year, r ne of u dreaming just like me that Sega will release this game for the Wii in spite that most Sega games will be re-released for the Wii?

I would only enjoy it if it is linked with PC and PS2.

R the xbox 360 ps2 and PC being linked?

omg what if they linked the wii with the 360....wow lol

Ceipe
Aug 9, 2006, 06:39 PM
Rofl, so 360 is out? Well maybe Sega will open its eyes and realize that linking 360 will give em more money and even more money if the Wii game is released and is as well linked.

Aug 9, 2006, 06:45 PM
If they released for wii you would then have to think how they would get around the controller issue.

Server side of things, Square have done PC-PS2-360 server linking, so why cant sega? Just takje out voice chat, and leave it like FFXI was for it. Private chats 1-to-1. Voice chat in MMO's kinda spoil it imo.

Ceipe
Aug 9, 2006, 06:47 PM
Well I really dun see much torbles there, it has the buttons and the "nunchuck" addon will give it more buttons. IT could even use the GCN controller adapter that will be used to play Smash Brawl, hehe

I don't know about a GC controller though, it doesn't have the R3 and L3 button equivalents.

Nash
Aug 9, 2006, 07:46 PM
I still think it's got a good chance of happening.

Nintendo have kept all their online-plans with Wii underwraps so far, no online titles have been announced and no 3rd parties are allowed to give details of their online plans. So the fact we haven't heard anything yet doesn't neccessarily mean it isn't happening.

The fact the Wii is always online, with Wii Connect 24, suggests Nintendo are going to give online a big push this time around. And PSU would be a perfect launch game.

Launch game? ha. they haven't announced PSU for Wii AT ALL, so it will be like a year or two from now before a Wii version might be announced and released.

in the meantime, the 3 systems that are getting it this year will provide PSU fun much much sooner. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

If it were to happen, I doubt it would be a launch title, and if they solve the control issue then it is plausible. Just don't expect to literally hack through the air at monster mobs.

Yes I hear what you are saying about the wii, after all I believe it will be my first and only of the next-gen machines.

Yea the Wii is gonna be my only next gen console, and btw there isn't a controller issue at all simply use the GC controller they are doing it for other games.

I'm getting a Wii and I'm so dissapointed that its not coming for the Wii. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_cry.gif I don't understand why Sega would do that? After all PSO for the XBOX was one of the games that weren't bought alot.

Nash
Aug 9, 2006, 08:30 PM
Just because it hasn't been announced, doesn't mean it doesn't already exist.

Sega were rumoured to have very strong support for Wii, and so far Sonic and Monkey Ball doesn't really add up to that. Also I wouldn't be at all surprised if PSU was started originally on GC and then moved to PS2 when it became clear Nintendo weren't going to do anything with online on GC. As Wii devkits were GC-based, it would have been easy to ressurrect it and develop it for Wii. But they can't say anything about an online game till Nintendo allow them to.

I'm not expecting it, I've already got my PS2 ready for PSU, but I wouldn't be that surprised to see it announced out of the blue when Nintendo unveil their online plans for Wii.

I'll still play PSO on the GCN because I have a feeling PSU will be on the Wii soon.

The gamecube controller might not have enough buttons but the Wii classic console controller looks like it does.

Aug 9, 2006, 08:55 PM
So, is it confirmed that the PS2 and the 360 are going to be linked? I already know for a fact that PS2 and PC will be, but I was wondering about the 360.

Nash
Aug 9, 2006, 09:09 PM
I don't think they've made it 100% clear yet, but so far they've made it sound like 360 will be separate for some reason. Even though Microsoft allowed FFXI to link to both PC and PS2 as far as I know.

Nintendo doesn't have a stable online service. Xbox and PS2 does.

Oooh, literature.

And since the last interview, nothing has been announced regarding 360 connecting to PS2/PC. Nothing has been announced about them NOT connecting either. There is no, "More likely one way or the other," scenario here.

Saner
Aug 10, 2006, 09:57 AM
since N64, haven't they learned that Nintendo lost much of their 3rd party support ever since Playstation was born and dominated the charts?

If ppl want the most of the best games out there, just a Nintendo system is not the answer.

Its recent systems were lucky to get a top 3rd party game once in a while but it's still starving for a better selection like the other systems have.


Wii looks like it will be good like the SNES days, however with all the competition going on, the Wii will naturally not get all of the best this industry has to offer. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

My friend bought a Gamecube for Resident Evil Remake and a few other non-Nintendo titles. Unfortunately they got bored of the system's lacking selection and then tried Xbox, then PS2.

I don't think it would ever happen actually. It doesn't seem right to have MUCH later launched PSU for Wii. It most likely won't happen because why would it be on the PS2, X360, and Wii? Two next Gen consoles one this gen...hmm you would think if they put it on the Wii then they would have to make a PS3 version. Which will probably cost Sega way too much cash to keep all those servers for all those systems up and running. I don't like the idea of it anyway, even though PSO was big on the cube.

They are better off waiting for PSU2 (the sequel) before bringing it to the Wii.

PSU is a huge project so people can be sure there will be a sequel/expansion.

If the game has expensions, then I think Wii version should come out then (like what they did with FFXI on 360). It would suit the timing but they really would need to focus on making it compatible with PC, and PS2, and I believe Wii has USB ports now so you can use a keyboard with ease finally.

Aug 10, 2006, 01:46 PM
I'm in full support of it being on the Wii, and Takao Miyoshi said that they'd consider it if they got enough feedback. Seeing as how we're not Japanese, that's for the most part out of our hands, but we can still hope. The controller isn't an issue. As people have said, we don't need motion control, and they're not gonna stop production because one button is missing. Anyways, I had a topic about this back when that interview came out if you want to take a look at it.

Even Nintendo has said this. Some games like F-zero, are meant for the GC controller and not the Wiimote. Expect a lot of developers to either create their own attachment, or use various types of the remote.

ACtually I think the classic has 1 more than the gamecube because it (seems to have) has 4 (L1, L2, R1, R2) as opposed to L, R, and Z oh and it also has a select button. Although they havent confirmed on whether or not the joysticks be buttons as well (like ps2 and xbox). If this has all been debunked or proven otherwise, tell me because most of this comes from assumptions from pictures.

*sigh* I'll provide the link yet again:

http://www.pso-world.com/article.php?sid=1504

There was an announcement quite a long time ago that the 360 servers would be seperate. So it's pretty likely that they will be seperated unless they reveal their stance to have changed, which they haven't.

SolRiver
Aug 11, 2006, 06:10 AM
Well, there must be some reason that they haven't say anything about wii yet. Other wise, if I was a developer, I would defintely want to get something onto wii (and early! before the player base get taken by other mmo).

NDS's online service had been quite steady I believe, so Nintendo is defintely not lacking around the networking department.

It has been common knowledge for some time that the PS2 and PC versions of PSU will be linked together, allowing players on either platform to interact with each other. There has been much speculation about whether or not the Xbox 360 servers would be included in this as well. PSOW has learned from an official source that, at this time, the Xbox 360 servers (which will use the Xbox Live service) are planned to be independant of the PS2 and PC servers and will not be linked.

In my opinion, I would obviously love for all the consoles and regions to be connected O_o that would be a dream come true. Though I find it 'unlikely' coming to the Wii, there's still the possibility. What this situation reminds me of is of the PSO days when PS2 players wanted PSO http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif Ironically PSO ended up coming for everything EXCEPT PS2 lol I wouldn't doubt if PSU will end up coming for everything except the Wii ^_^;

Anyways ST has changed their vision of things with PSU >_>; Region separated servers which throws down the drain the international aspect a lot of people liked from PSO. Before the games would bring various languages, also went down the drain. They'll probably separate 360 servers so its PC/PS2 or 360. I'm actually surprised they even connected PC/PS2 O_o Still there are options, and I don't think anyone will find it too tough to get on PSU if they like it. The PS2 isn't that expensive and upgrading the PC for PSU isn't that expensive either, and I mean getting specs higher than the mininum too :/ Sometimes building your own PC is a nice solution too >_>;; and its not as difficult as you might imagine. Anyways again, I'm all for PSU coming to each and every console, and if all of them were connected it'd be even greater, who knows we might all be surprised, I know I was when it was announced for the 360 O_o

The problem is most people that play games dont have the money (I.E. 400 - 500 pounds) to build a system of their own and on top of that many dont know how to build a PC.

By all means though if anyone HAS the equivalent of 400- 500 pounds i can easily assist them in building via the internet if they need it.

I was going to make a topic, but I searched instead so I'll just say what I was going to here.


I think that Sega isn't putting it on the Wii, not because of the controller (since you can just use Cube Controllers), and not because they have no respect for Nintendo (they have been rival/friends for years and the Cube kept PSO alive), but because of pricing plans, since the Wii is free to play online, maybe Sega is more reluctant to put it on out a system that's being pushed as free to play online machine. Unlike all 3 of the other mediums which have to be paid for on top of PSU subscription fee.

It's not like it couldn't be on Cube and still playable on the Wii, so I think it had to be a pricing disagreement.

Losodo1976
Sep 18, 2006, 11:34 PM
I doubt PSU will come out for Wii... but then again, it was on NGC. There's many controller options on the Wii so I doubt the the controls available will have any impact on the idea of making a Wii port.

Which makes me wonder... I haven't heard of any keyboard support for the Wii.

Tystys
Sep 18, 2006, 11:37 PM
Eh, I'm not sure about PSU coming to the Wii. It just seems like an extremely huge game for it to be taking on so early into the game. What's worse is that people are going to be expecting for the Nun-Chucks to be involved in some way, but I just don't see that happening for PSU, O_O.

It'd do-able, but the fact of the matter is, SEGA already has a handful of crap they need to do. First off, since they announced the expansion pack way to early, we're going to be expecting results. Not to mention the fact that they needed to actually turn the online mode for the JP version into a temporary beta for the time being thanks to server issues, so something tells me SOA isn't really going to have an easy time trying to get it to work with the nun-chuck controller without atleast a little bit of support from SOJ.

AND, the fact of the matter is, running a game of PSU's size takes alot of work. I'm expecting there to be alot of people playing PSU on both sides of the spectrum, so while a WII release IS possible...I highly doubt it'll become a reality.

jarek99
Sep 18, 2006, 11:47 PM
I cant believe so many people are shying away from 360 because it isnt linked with the other 2 games. Theres still going to be thousands of people playing! You have to be a fool to think that theres not gonna be anyone to play with. Arent PSOBB, gamecube and the xbox version independent? They arent linked and they are doing just fine. PSU will be much better off since the game is much larger and will have more replay value.

I dunno, I think a Wii version is plausable. Maybe not now, but soon-ish.

They already said they're doing a PSU expansion so probably by the time the expansion comes out, they can do a Wii double pack of the origional and expansion.

Controller-wise, we can use Gamecube controllers. Perhaps my memory is foggy, but L2, L3 and R2 aren't used on the PS2 controller, so we could just use Z for R3 and L and R for L1 and R1. Remember that the Gamecube controller ports are right there on the system so yeah, I could see it working.

Online connectivity is a non-issue this time around too. Yes I know you're all worried about freind codes, but obviously things will be different for a game like PSU.


In short: It's possible I think and I am hoping for a Wii version, but it will be at least a little while before it shows up.

Regardless of being able to use a GC controller, Sega would HAVE to add wiimote support, being that the wiimote is the default controller you get WITH the console, and I personally don't think it the wiimote would be practical for a game like this.

I have no idea of Nintendo's online network plans so I won't even bother, but that could be a factor.

A wii version most likely wouldn't be linked to PS2/PC versions because of the time difference in release dates should it ever see the light of day.

That doesn't make sense Kassy. They wouldn't HAVE to use the wiimote, just becuase its the default controller. Just look at smash brothers brawl, it requires the GC controller.

I concur. You DO NOT have to use the Wii controller for certain games and it encourages you to use a GC controller! Nintendo already announced that ages ago. And the "they have to add support cause the controller comes with the console" is just stupid because i bought an official ASCII controller for PSO on the GC. That sure didnt come with my gamecube.

Dont cross out the possibilities, yes it's incredibly unlikely but thats not to say theres no reason it couldnt happen. Just dont get your hopes up high.

Well, the fact of the matter is, the fan demand for it could be slightly increasing, because I remember a time where I would see countless thread topics about what system they would like to see PSU come to, and alot of people chose the WII. If SEGA hears our calls, they just might consider it.

It be nice to come out for Wii, but im not going to get my hopes up., if so I hope it links up with the PC and PS2, that be a nice thriving community, with a few fanboy skirmishes.

And if they did have Wii and 360 connected to the same servers, omg, could u imagine the fanboy battles *assuming battle is gonna be in it* Not to mention children screaming at each other over which system is better. You could make a sitcom outta that.

Developers don't create games that have a heavy online reliance as a launch title, you take the "wait-and-see" approach to see if people even buy it and are playing the system online. They would have to invest in extra servers before the system even comes out which is NOT a good business move.

Developing games is a business, those "I don't see why they don't do this and/or that" get spouted out because people forget this or they don't know or never relaized it.

Regardless of being able to use a GC controller, Sega would HAVE to add wiimote support, being that the wiimote is the default controller you get WITH the console, and I personally don't think it the wiimote would be practical for a game like this.

I have no idea of Nintendo's online network plans so I won't even bother, but that could be a factor.

A wii version most likely wouldn't be linked to PS2/PC versions because of the time difference in release dates should it ever see the light of day.



That doesn't make sense Kassy. They wouldn't HAVE to use the wiimote, just becuase its the default controller. Just look at smash brothers brawl, it requires the GC controller.



Really? I stand corrected http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
I don’t like the idea of having to buy a certain controller to play a particular game though, I certainly would in the case of PSU, but not sure other gamers would agree.

Lol, well here hoping Nintendo don't go to mental with amount of controller add-ons and such, or at least make them reasonably priced, I am after all getting a wii, pre-ordered it the other day ;D

My computer is really obsolete, I could buy a new one for gaming, but I hate comps for gaming, as you never really know if there's gonna be some stupid error and the game you bought won't work on your computer. <.< That's what I think at least...

And Wii is probably as good as SNES was, or maybe even better. I will buy one.
I can't afford both a new computer and a Wii, so, a Wii it is. I'm bored to death and need a console to play stuff on =/

I'm sure Wii will sell big, so, I think it'd be stupid not to drop a Wii version.
It'd probably take a whole year or more if they do, though... Kind of my luck. <.<

Why is it that immediately people assume it will HAVE to use the motion sensitive controller. It would work fine with The Classic or GameCube controllers, it wouldn't need to necessarily make a use of the Wiimote or Nunchuck.

Anyways, I'm not so sure. Alot of people want the game to use the motion sensor, but I highly doubt if it ever came to the WII that it would use it.

I think the Wii is going to be a great machine, but I wouldn't want to use the motion-sensing for PSU. Same thing with the new Zelda... I just want to use a good ol' gamepad for that.

Sony and Nintendo have yet to reveal the specific details about online implementation to developers regarding the PS3 and Wii. Nothing's impossible, of course. Once Sega is in the know about those sorts of things we'll likely see some more online titles, including some form of Phantasy Star Universe.

If PSU came out for the Wii, I guarantee you that it wouldn't use the motion sensor features. However, a port of PSU on the Wii could happen. There are two possibilities for this: Either it will be the same game as the current PSU and hopefully plays on the same servers as the PC and PS2, or it may be a completely new version of PSU much like PSO Episodes 1&2, with rebalanced character classes, new areas, new items, and maybe new modes like Challenge and Battle. The downside to a new version is that we'd most likely have to start new characters from scratch, but at the same time they could ditch the PS2 for this new version much like they ditched the Dreamcast for Ep1&2 and only put the game on next-gen consoles and PC. This way the PS2 won't be holding the game back anymore, and we could see things in the new areas that would be impossible to do on the PS2, such as huge numbers of enemies.

Speaking of Wii. Im friends with the Manager of the local Gamecrazy near me, I went to preorder the Wii now that theirs a release date, I already had Zelda TP Preordered for the wii, and he tells me that their is a rule on preordering the wii, that you have to also preorder two Wii launch titles to be able to get a wii.

Basically to prevent people from hoarding the game system and ebaying it by what he told me. I dunno if hes just bsing me again like he did a few times to get deals out of me on some games, or other Game Retail companies are doing the same thing.

This may be offtopic but if anyone could give their thoughts or answers id appreciate it.

Wii testing tools are not yet available, and mapping the Wii controller, given the option-heavy and fluid nature of the PSU controls, would be a Herculean venture in its implementation.

My forecast: 3-6% chance of Wii PSU, sometime in mid-late 2007.

PSU's never coming out to the Wii.

Clyde

If the Wii did get PSU it need to be a different version of to be able to support those nun-chuck things. And if there were a Wii nun-chuck PSU version, it would probably probably feel more like a FPS which would have you manually blocking enemies hits there would also be fewer enemies. That is if it were to nun-chucks though.

If it could use a normal controller I don't think PSU on Wii would be very un-likely; you would also have to pay to play, SEGA would never miss out on a chance to charge you.

Edit: On the off-chance it happened, Wii would also NOT be linked with any other system.

Two launch titles? Easy, Zelda TP and Metroid Prime 3. And ofcoruse PSU later if it does come out on it. I wonder if I'll be able to use my PC account with the Wii if I change.
Anyway, there is hope, nothing has been said for online stuff apart from that you can download the games from nintendo 64 and before for 2 to 6 dollars depending on the game.
I can just imagine it ;.; Majora's Mask, omg I need to get that game and finish it for once! Also PSO will work offline, but still nothing for the online stuff. they're very secretive.

My two mesetas', whether or not it's been said before:

What might happen is like the 360 release of FFXI; PSU releases for the Wii later, but with any and all available expansions bundled in for the same price.

As for online linkage, I see no reason why the Wii shouldn't be cross-linked with the PS2 and the PC, if it's easy enough to do...

Server side of things, Square have done PC-PS2-360 server linking, so why cant sega? Just takje out voice chat, and leave it like FFXI was for it. Private chats 1-to-1. Voice chat in MMO's kinda spoil it imo.


psu isnt a real MMO ;3, its action-ROPG? if im not mistaken to be technical...not tryin to be a dik or anythin but its just uhh? kinda pretty different. real MMO's would keep you in a world that's constantly changing, from what i understand 99% of PSU is "instance based," if that's true its just an online hack and slash rpg

I think it would be great if it came out for the Wii.

I'm sure the whole purpose for the 360 release is to appeal to western gamers. It would be a better move to release it on the 360 rather than the Wii for that purpose, though I think the inability to link 360 servers with PC/PS2 kills that purpose. It's pretty obvious the game won't be as popular on the 360 servers as it would the PC/PS2 servers.
