De Blob dev: 'Wii HDD would be awesome'

Speaking to VideoGamer.com de Blob lead producer Nick Hagger said that while the team didn't need a HDD for de Blob there are "loads of things we could do with it".

Hagger's comments come as speculation surrounding a possible Wii HDD release reaches critical mass. Earlier in the month a Nintendo job posting revealed the Japanese firm was seeking staff who have experience in developing software for USB.

"It's always good to have more storage space available, but we didn't need it for de Blob. I think it would be awesome if there was an HDD for the Wii; there are loads of things we could do with it. Let's keep our fingers crossed," said Hagger.

I think it would be awesome too :)

kewlkat0076213d ago

is really gonna open the gates for Homebrew and piracy.

Before you know it, we'll be play SNES on there and genesis with your roms on the HDD.

PS360WII6213d ago

True there is always that problem which is probably why they haven't made one yet but the DS has a big piracy problem but game sales are still great so it could be the same outcome on the Wii.

You would have 2% of Wii owners with an HDD, so it would be ignored by developers. This deblob dev is not too bright.

ChickeyCantor6213d ago (Edited 6213d ago )

but it seems this 2% is also a "market" and they are willing to spend their money on it.
2% ...isnt that like over 2 million people? enough to make a profit?
I guess someone turned your brightness knob to zero XD

tplarkin76213d ago

Trust me. It's been done many times before and failed every time. Any add-on will get a few 1st party games that use it, then it will be a dust collector. How many games support the PS2 HDD?

ChickeyCantor6213d ago (Edited 6213d ago )

IF nintendo announces a HDD thats made by Nintendo and they will add a new logo to their game covers its not going to fail.

or at least put a new logo on the covers telling they need a HDD to make full use of the game.

also we are in a time where downloadable content is a standard

Sony didn't do anything to make it a standard back then.

Le-mo6213d ago

Why don't they just develop games for the PS3? If a system is restricting the developer at a development standpoint then just move onto another system.

PS360WII6213d ago

They never said it was restricting them

Le-mo6213d ago

I never said it was, I said if.

ChickeyCantor6213d ago

Because of a financial perspective?
Budgets?

Intrepid6213d ago

Because

Certain genres + Wii = Perfect harmony

Perverted6212d ago

As much as I hope not.....I get the feeling this will be a Zack and Wiki title....wrong appearance for the Hardcore crowd and the wrong gameplay for the casual crowd....
Still hoping it runs it out well...
And after seeing the Wii scales sell through the roofs an HDD could also sell.

And for $10 people can purchase Gamepass for one month and have access to 100+ games on top of SOTTR.

SOTTR Is a game that you can just beat and then move on anyway.

Zeref2337d ago (Edited 2337d ago )

Yeah and i get almost 200 other games for the same price.

EasilyTheBest2337d ago

Wow can't believe Shadow of The Tomb Raider and Crackdown 3 this month. I only just bought an Xbox One X a month ago and have only played Forza Horizon 4 and Quantum Break...
Is it only me who drives around in Forza just looking at the scenary and looking in shop Windows? The attention to detail is insane....

Marioraider182337d ago

Says the guy who said "I for one was going to hold off buying an Xbox One X, but after the recent news about playing Xbox 360 games and Original Xbox games at 4k I have changed my mind, I will be buying one day one.
I missed out on this gen my last console was an Xbox 360."

EasilyTheBest2337d ago

That is true, due to personal circumstances I had to hold off buying one but I eventually got a gold rush edition of the Xbox One X early this January.. Hope this is OK with you...

Bronxs152337d ago

I’m the kind of gamer that stops in uncharted and god of war just to admire graphics. I never thought I’d be doing that in a race game as well. Forza on the x is simply amazing looking. Heck I stop mid race to look at my car and the lighting and environment like trees in fall or stone bed rivers in spring and just say I gotta stop and look I’ll restart the race!

EasilyTheBest2337d ago

Yes I'm constantly stopping and changing camera positions to look out the side of car etc
Looking through shop and house windows like a peeping Tom.
The scenary is so varied. Just bought Fortune Island today and don't mind one bit as its certainly worth it..

Bronxs152337d ago

Yes see how good the environments /open world are in Forza has me really excited for their rumoured open world rpg. Can’t wait to see what they do...

monkey6022337d ago

Shadow of the TR came around fast! Might actually try it now

Livingthedream2337d ago

This is the only one I haven't played, was waiting for a big sale, this makes it so much more convenient. I say this a lot, the value of gamepass is just incredible.

Vasto2337d ago

Xbox Game Pass is too good!
