Would they port Oddworld already?!

So, first two games were on the Playstation, second two on the XBox.

Its really the XBox games I'd like to see ported, basically for the completely selfish reason that THERE IS NO WAY I'M BUYING AN XBOX FOR TWO GAMES! (and for XBox fans, yes, I'm sure there are other games worthwhile, but I'm more then content with other consoles for my non-oddworld needs, thank you very much).

Anyways, I suppose we're talking Current-Gen machines right now, which is basically the PS3, XBox360, and the Wii. Porting them onto the 360 would be silly, especially seeing as one of the two games is already backwards compatible with the 360.

The PS3? Well, they were bound for the PS2 in the first place, but the PS2 is starting to come to its end, OWI isn't going to grab the attention of anyone by keeping it there. But PS3 fans have much greater expectation then fans of other consoles- the PS3 is capable of the best graphics, and PS3 owners spent alot more money on there machine. Straight ports would get you no where, and its too early for full-blown remakes.

Now, the Wii- this is where I think SW and MO should be heading towards. The Wii, great as it is, doesn’t have the horsepower of the other two consoles, so no-one is going to particularly mind if MO and SW retain their XBox era graphics. As well as this, the Wii has an entirely new audience then what Sony and Microsoft have captured, which would help draw in new fans to the series. As well as that, the Wii is easily the hot console at the moment- its selling like hot cakes, and if more people have it, then its more people likely to buy a game for it. As for the controller, there are little places where it could fit in, it doesn’t have to be modelled around the controls (look at Zelda, where the motion controls were minimal but undeniably effective).

Anyway, that’s enough from me, what do you guys think?
