View Full Version : MotoGP08 for Wii?
Hi there!
For a game that is supposed to come out in november theres surprisingly few media out. I didnt even see a single screenshot of the Wii version yet.
Even more puzzling, Capcom America has it listed for PS3/PS2/X360/PC, but not for Wii, so I wonder if a Wii version is actually planned at all?
Id also like to know which studio is working on it.
Anyone having more info?
Greetings,
Manuel

Hope that helps
Hm... I think milestone have a pretty good reputation for motorcycle games, but AFAIK they never did a Wii game before.
I see Europe finally has a MotoGp08 page! And it mentions the Wii too!
Still find it surprising that so close to release there arent even Wii screenshots ready. I saw some at a french page, but they were at a very high resolution, so Im uncertain wether they were really Wii screens. In case they were, they looked very promising.
These are taken from capcoms press site Wii section

Edit re hosted and sized
They look similar to the ones I saw. Well so they probably were legit Wii shots after all. The puzzling thing is the high resolution, which the Wii cant do, but maybe theyre shots from a development system :)
Thanks for sharing those!

Have to say the shots of the 360 version are looking amazing at the minute. Severly disappointed however Capcom Europe have no supporting community on the site.
Yes were regularly discussing it on the US site but seeing as Cap Europe are handling the bulk of it, it is slightly surprising.
Looking though!
Now that MotoGP 08 has its own forum, maybe we can continue hunting for Wii Screenshots/Videos/Info there? :)

"The Wii version is running late production wise and it will not ship at the end of next month with the other SKUs. There are some improvements from the PS2, in particular the control mechanisms with the Wiimote, but It is true that there is no online play."
- Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development
MotoGP 08 is scheduled to release on Xbox 360, PS3, PS2 and PC at the end of this month, but there have been some unforeseen delays with the development of the Wii version which means it will not be ready to launch at the same time.
Still nothing to hear or see from the Wii version. I think its never a good sign when you get nothing at all from a game before it hits the shelves.
Lets hope for the best and that the extra time is used to add the missing online modes.
Found these European dates on a french page:
Neopets Puzzle Adventure - 23 janvier 2009
MotoGP 08 - 20 f‚vrier 2009
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop - 27 f‚vrier 2009
