Supply shortages & poor quality games could pose serious problems for developers. Simon Phillips, managing director of Gusto Games, has voiced a number of concerns about development for Nintendo's Wii. While Phillips is enthused by the success of the format and the support Nintendo is giving to developers, he has raised a number of issues such as product shortages, an influx of 'me too' products and the sheer amount of product on the shelves as possible long-term problems for the system.

Sure buddy... You're trying to tell me it has a deeper story than goat 🐐 simulator 4000?!?!?. I wanna give bg3 a shot but my brain is burnt out on long games
The long-awaited sequel to the 2013 narrative adventure is currently expected out sometime in 2024.
Oh hell yeah! I feel like this was one hell of an underrated game, and I'm glad to see that a part 2 is coming.
This was my favorite Telltale game. I’m definitely going to play this. Hopefully it has less jank than the Telltale games had. I didn’t think it would happen but I’m happy it’s coming
Great, loved the first game and happy a sequel is coming but after such a lengthy development, are Telltale gonna be releasing it episodic with non specific time delays between episodes? If it is episodic, they need to have a full set of dates laid out for every episode so we know what we are getting & when like Resident Evil Revelations 2 did, buying episode 1 and not knowing when the rest will come is just unacceptable in 2024.
I always loved Telltale games. They were like those old choose your own adventures books.
If this shortage keep continue throughout this Winter I don't know the Wii will sell, this will look more likely to be the 360 and PS3 Holiday
He does manage to point out that Nintendo is giving a lot of support to 3rd-parties, which is something really only started with the Gamecube generation.
So there are shortages, it won't last forever. Wii is already the #1 system, developers just need to stfu and make some good games for it.
The number of "me too" games only hurts the developer that says..."me too."
Make a good game that isn't something that's already been done and you'll have a hit, regardless of the number of low quality games on the console. Everyone seems to forget that the PS2 had little more than terrible games its first year.
Looking at Gusto's website, the Wii is a chance for them to do something special and become known, but when you see 6 games a developer wants to show you they have done, and 4 of them are "Championship Manager," and 5 are soccer games, forgive me if I'm not ready to listen to them about "me too" games hurting a console.
