"Fans Will Decide" if Tournament of Legends Goes Multiplatform
Vote With Dollars
by Coop
Recently, Gamervision sat down with High Voltage Art Director Matt Corso to talk about Tournament of Legends, the Wii-exclusive fighting game that rose up from the ashes of Gladiator A.D. At one point in our conversation, Matt mentioned features that wouldn't be included in "this version" of the game. When asked if saying "this version" meant the Wii-focused developer would consider bringing this game to other consoles, we were surprised at his response.
Q: When you say this version of the game... do you mean this Wii version of the game? Is there a chance to see this game move to other consoles?
A: I think it's really going to be up to the fans to decide. So, you know, folks are going to vote with their dollars, as they say. So, if Tournament of Legends does well we'll see what happens with future versions.
This, when compared to the company's former stance as flag-waving Wii supporters, shows a major shift for the developer. It appears that the lackluster sales of The Conduit has made them rethink their previous goals, and, to be honest, it's hard to blame them. Despite high review scores, the game simply didn't perform as well as it should have when it came to sales, and the audience for the type of game High Voltage makes doesn't appear to be as large on the Wii as it is on other systems.
Check back soon for the full interview with Matt Corso and a hands-on preview of this rebranded Wii exclusive.
