“The Wii Sucks” – Telltale Games
Alright, that’s not a direct quote, but its close.
Well, this might fan the flames of the console wars…
Gamezine points out an interesting thread on the Telltale forums where a programmer for Telltale defends the low quality of Tales of Monkey Island on the Wii.
He explains it by saying, “The voices and textures are the way they are because we’re limited to 40 megs for WiiWare titles. The PC versions of our games are usually 150+ megs, and most modern games range anywhere from one to ten gigabytes or more. Talk to Nintendo about this one.
“Frame rate issues will probably get sorted out eventually, but keep in mind that the Wii is just not a powerful console. An iPhone is much more powerful than a Wii, even.”
He later added, in reference to his words in the above quote, “I stand by them. The Wii and DS are extremely underpowered and their popularity doesn’t remove the hardware limitations.”
Ouch….

Good heavens. And I thought some of the quotes that came out of Sony were ludicrous…
But yes, the Wii and DS are the least powerful machines in terms of raw power in their respective markets. But we’ve known this for a while.
