cant wait for it will be fun to see what it is like

Looks interesting. It's a pity that it's just for the Wii though. An obvious mistake missing out on PS3 and 360.

I suppose this means the Wii is vanishing back into the owners bedroom once the game is released.

is it deffinatly getting released in the uk though?? just looked at a release date and it says imports only, any idea what that means??

u can pre order it on amazon

why would they release a mans game exclusively on a girls console?

Cheapest version to release on, imo i think it will be w@nk but will still give it a bash

SUPER!!!!

A blinkered comment if ever I saw one...

The Wii is BY FAR the biggest selling console. Hence a first release on Wii rather than Xbox 360 or PS3.

HOWEVER, we all have PCs... I would bet there's more PCs to release for than Wiis.

PC sales for most games lag significantly behind their console counterparts (with a few genre exceptions).

For RL and RL2, PC sales were very low as compared to PS2 and Xbox.

the wii is crap... fact. It's a 10min novelty machine aimed at kids and jap school girls.

I would consider this game, like many others, to be more of a port to the wii rather than a new exclusive game or follow up.

The makers have gone on record and said the only reason there has been no new one for xbox or PS3 is because they consider the market too small for niche game like Rugby League. So releasing a brand new version on the wii only makes no sense... hence I highly doubt it will be a new version and more of a port

No, it's a major leap forward in gaming aimed at EVERYONE.



The reason is simple... There are more Wiis sold than any other home console. In July for example:

Wii - 252,200
Xbox 360 - 202,900
PlayStation 3 - 121,800

It makes PERFECT business sense to me. Just because you don't like them, or you have a 360 or PS3 doesn't mean you shouldn't do your research.

The Wii has hardcore and exclusive games that are simply NOT POSSIBLE (currently) for PS3 or 360.

We all know the Wii is basically an accelerated Gamecube, and doesn't pack the power of the 360 or PS3... but if great games are being released at prices that aren't so hard on the pocket (I believe some new PS3 titles are approaching Neo-Geo prices these days!), then it's going to do continue to do well, whether you like it or not.

As for whether RL3 is a new version or a port, according to the website there is significant changes to RL2... this would signify a new version.

Surely a more constructive (and intelligent) thing to do, rather than shouting as loud as you can about how much you hate the Wii, is talk about how much you love your other console and want to play this game on it, start a campaign for dual/treble release, even a petition.

The "makers" have not said it is a port at all. Rl3 for Wii is a true sequel.

so by not releasing it on xbox and ps3 (which together sell more than the wii) thats perfect business sense? They haven't done a sequel for those machines yet because they consider the market too fragmented to be commercially viable. Again that makes what sense by moving from releasing it on xbox, ps3 and pc to just the wii??

It looks like they are targetting the only gaming console they haven't released the game on yet rather than the one with "more sales and hardcore fans".

Mario aka penguin boy- All the best with it. Hope the sales are good enough to merit future releases.

So you decided to ignore my advice, then.

Just so you're aware, those were July's sales only, and those were unusually high figures for PS3 and 360, mainly down to recent price cuts. In total, the Wii has sold MILLIONS more than the opposition.

And why add 360 and PS3 together? Just because it worked for Hitler and his coming to power doesn't mean you can do the same. Why not add Wii and 360 together? Then the PS3 may as well be dead and buried.
