I'm a fan of the comics, and can't wait for the movie, and when I saw the game was a classic beat-em up, I just wanted to know when it would come out for wiiware. Apparently, it never will, since it's only for PSN and Xbox Live.

.....May I ask why? There's no reason why it can't be on wii, so why isn't it?

Perhaps there is some content that they didn't think would be appropriate for Wiiware.

Honestly I can't think of anything bad in the game that would say no to wiiware. I mean, it's not that to risque for it

The game may have been too big for WiiWare

They were probably afraid everyone would be buying Enjoy Your Massage!

I think it was a 178 mb download for me.

I have no clue how that would work into the whole wiiware perspective (not that good with keeping track XP) but still, it could be done. Maybe because of the price tag or something? I don't feel like shelling out money for a console just to play this one game.

Wait I thought that movie was Retro video game based and I thought from what I heard there was a NMH part.

But what about Jett Rocket and Megaman 10? Megaman 10 is a retro game for all 3 consoles, and Jett Rocket HAS to be over 40 mb

It was Ubisoft's idiotic choice. They could easily compress things if they wanted to.

I know! Having a sinple beat-em up like this isn't that hard to compress. It would be a perfect fit for the wii, given how people actually have 4 controllers for the game for the most part.

Size limit, duh. Oh, and Wiiware doesn't have demoes, and Ubi's more than willing to let people try before they buy so the game speaks for itself. Oh, and I'm sure Sony and Microsoft had a hand in it, too. After all, someone had to pay for all those ads...where ever they are.XD

@Dude above me I forgot your name

Do you realize how difficult it is to shrink a file down to1/5th of its size without massive drawbacks when it comes to quality? Compression comes at a price, and they can only go so far before it's no longer worth the effort.

Most of the file size comes from the music and it wouldn't be too much trouble to lower the quality of it.

Besides, a dude on the inside told me that it was Ubisoft's call, it could have been on the Wii if they wanted.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about that.

Have you played it? A band did the music and there's a LOT of music.

Because all Ubisoft wants to do is release more Rabbids games and mediocre Petz games on DSiWare. This is really strange, considering there's a band called "Sex Bob-omb," yet it's not for Wii.

I'm back (for the moment)!

I'm planning on reading the books then seeing the movie, and I could of played the game, but it's not on WiiWare. So yeah, I want it on WiiWare.
