Another WiiWare question -- considering the Wii has a rather small flash drive, how many titles will it be able to hold? For example, even though Crystal Chronicles on WiiWare is not going to be large, it might be difficult to have even ten games of that volume.
A lot of the games for WiiWare that have been submitted so far are smaller in size, so they're not gonna take up a ton of your drive. But the way that we look at it is, we really don't want people storing every single game they buy on their drive. When you buy a game, it's yours forever, so you can delete it, and go back and get it at any time you want. In a way, we liken it to putting music on your iPod; you listen to it for a while, and then you get tired of it, and you pull it off, and you put some new stuff on.
Now that Monster Hunter 3 is announced as a Wii exclusive, there's been some speculation that this game might be the first to "circumvent" friend codes, because it really hinges on group play, and friend codes can be somewhat unwieldy. Will there be some kind of solution to this?.
We're still discussing that; we don't have anything to announce today. But the way that we think about friend codes is, when folks are online, and they want to play, they typically want to play with their friends. And so, they want to keep it to groups of people they know. We've seen, in the feedback we've gotten, that people don't mind the friend codes. They like them, because it keeps them playing with the friends that they do know, and it keeps their games "undisturbed," if you will.
It's interesting that Nintendo has managed to hit those targets pretty well, when other things have been multiple-SKU, and confusing to people.
Sure. A lot of folks always think that there are no games for the "core" on the Wii, and we've only been in the process for ten and a half months now. And I'd say that with the last three or four months, we've had some really great titles, like Metroid Prime 3; we've got Galaxy coming out in November, we've got Smash Bros. coming out in February, and we have Zelda on the DS. So I think there are really a lot of games that definitely reach to that core audience. But we feel like everyone's a gamer, and we want everyone to be involved in gaming and enjoy it. So the more folks we can bring into it, the better.
