I'm fascinated by this decision, but can't figure out the motivation. So, where would a retailer put a new Wii game? Won't this confuse consumers? But is that rational? Consider the retail landscape -where does one find Wii games in stores? I find them scattered in bargain bins with $5 price tags.

I initially thought they may have significant experience with the Wii and chose to code a Wii version, knowing it will also play on the Wii U. This Wii release makes me wonder what motivates such a decision.
The packaging will assuage Wii U owners with a badge stating it will work with the Wii U (via it's backward compatibility). Less expected is it's release for the Wii. Predictably, it will release for PS4 and Xbox One. They have an upcoming game (developed by Voxler) based on the TV reality music show The Voice. They've also released Flap Flap (a Flappy Bird game for 3ds) and Asterix - Mansion of the Gods, also for the 3DS. They needed more games! I've enjoyed the Wii U, but it could have been such a positive part of Nintendo's history.įrench publisher Bigben Interactive is not a company I'm familiar with, but they seem to have been around since the 80's with a few PS2 titles. Developers seemed to steer clear of the Wii U platform. Marvelous games that should have reaped additional income from Wii U versions were never made. The Wii U found itself in the same situation as the Wii. This was a costly scenario for devs and Nintendo said they would address it with the Wii U. Thus, a game that could easily be ported between Sony and Microsoft consoles could not easily be "ported" to the Wii.
The Wii, while very successful, was a coding nightmare and required developers to create separate code for it. One of the early pretenses of the Wii U was to be it's ease of programming/development.
This time there's a Wii version- compatible with Wii U! When games are released for PS4 and Xbox One, Nintendo fans hope to see a Wii U version.
