While some efforts from third-parties have reached for the stars, a large majority of third-party developed titles have been less than impressive. Capcom, however, has provided the Wii with ongoing, strong support and seems interested in continuing their pattern. Spyborgs is one of the latest titles that have been revealed by the company. The game did not receive a terribly warm reaction from the hardcore Wii crowd, though numerous Capcom representatives have expressed feelings of faith in the game. Based on recent words, Wii owners should begin to believe in Spyborgs too, as Spyborgs, according to Capcom’s Christian Svensson, will max out the Wii and will make the most out of the Wii’s power. Svensson explained,”Spyborgs will be that product. Wait and see.” Also, on a slightly different note, Svensson gave the unfortunate news that Spyborgs won’t have much of a presence at E3. “Captivate was the announcement with very little detail shared… it’ll lie low for a bit until we’re ready for a bigger reveal (similar to what we did with the Dark Void announcement last October with the bigger reveal at Captivate), so no E3 showing.”

well heres a thought capcom: why dont you max out wii with a mature franchise, that way the hardcore gamers wont be turned off by the kiddy exterior.

If it's up to the same quality as Zack and Wiki I'll be stoked. Games don't have to be "mature" for me to enjoy them.

yeah thats true but you would think that with the example of zack and wiki selling poorly despite being an awesome game, capcom would not revert to using a kiddy exterior for their game to help them sales-wise.

EDIT: they only need to look in their own backyard: the million-unit selling re4 and reuc.

That's because Resident Evil was a known franchise, Zack and Wiki isn't. There was nearly no advertising either, if I didn't check IGN regularly I'd have no clue what I was potentially missing out on.

yeah i know. when i first saw it, the cover was screaming "anime shovelware"
also the name was too close to a certain disney tv show which i hate.

From what I've seen of it so far it doesn't really interest me, it did look pretty in places but its not my thing really. I'm more excited to see their "secret" or "surprise" game.

Maybe they are gonna re-do the art-design which is what most people complained about.
