Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii Developer To Fans: Keep Me From Making Mini-Games

Probably the most interesting snipit from this interview.

MTV Multiplayer: How did you persuade THQ to greenlight this idea?

Itkowitz: It was pretty easy, actually, because of the fact that we pitched it on the Wii — that was the magic word. [THQ] was really interested in doing something for the Wii because they didn’t have a whole lot on the roster for that. They were really supportive of the concept the whole time. I mean, it is kind of an experiment though, because everybody — from fans to the press to gamers — have been saying they want more core stuff on the Wii, and they’re tired of the mini-game compilations. So the response to [the game] so far has been really good. I hope people vote with their dollars in February so we can make some more. Otherwise, it’s back to mini-games.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you don't buy Deadly Creatures, THQ will go back to publish mini-game complications.  Please buy it people... I loved de Blob and I hope for more games like it from this publisher.

Well, I don't want more miny games but I havn't seen anything in Deadly Creatures that would make me what that either.
Who wants to play as a bug? A creepy bug at that? I don't see any mass appeal in this title but I hope it surprises me.

not going to happen. De Blob was amazing and nobody supported it.

I was gonna say, de Blob is waaaay past my expectations right now, and I thought I was being optimistic at thinking of 500k before the end of the year...

No No No it must sell millions and millons of copies and at the same time lose millions and millions of cash

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Im not going to argue with you.
I convinced 7 people to buy the game myself. I looked at deadly creatures. It doesn't look near as "successful" as de Blob.

I would enjoy a game in which I get to play as an arachnid. But my tastes don't represent those of the mases.

Yeah de Blob is easily going platinum sometime this year.   Good games on Wii start slow and then build up as word spreads.   Wouldn't surprise me if De Blob goes double platinum but I still have little hope for DC.

 Yea, Deadly Creatures seems a bit niche compared to de Blob.  Still doesn't mean it should go unnoticed.
