TVGB: One of Nintendo's major reasons for not supporting HD and keeping the Wii's specifications conservative was to make it a viable platform for original IPs. The argument was that developing games on machines with multi-core processors and complex architectures was increasing development costs to such a degree, that the appetite for risk was rapidly diminishing within the industry resulting in endless sequels and me-too titles. Two years have passed since the Wii was released and it has since gained many original IPs that allow us to see if Nintendo's decision has borne fruit, or whether it was just an excuse to limit R&D expenses.
Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, and Silent Hill 2 are some examples of games that still offer a mighty good time in 2024 if you pick them up today.

The PC version of No More Heroes has received an update that now allows gamers to enjoy it with a keyboard and mouse.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
The more I think about it, the more I kinda want it to be a thing lol. Ryan Gosling would be awesome. He would need to play it less serious, but he's shown that he can be a goofball.
"Overall though, the case for a game like Okami is not strengthened even with the additional Wii sales - a port got the go ahead, but a sequel never will."
