Brutal Legend Wii Cancelled

Crud. [FIRST!]

I don't care about Brutal Legend

Damm shame but never mind, I could just get it for the 360. Doesn't really interest me but I know it does a lot for others.

Brutal Legend looks awesome. It's a shame that the Wii version got cut, but not too surprising. As long as it hits the 360 I'll be happy.

Ah @*%#.

But was is announced or something? I've never seen anything that confirms a Wii version of Brutal Legend.

Sweet, I don't know anything about it, but the mention of Jack Black means it was probably destined to be terrible.

Good. The wii doesn't need it. It doesn't look funny, it doesn't look original, and it flat out doesn't look good.

I had heard the hype before seeing the game. Saw the footage from E3 and all could think was, 'Really? This is it? This is the big game of E3!?'.

This game makes Redneck Rampage look like a Game of the Century.

@post 8:
Being wrong on all counts must be a difficult task.

Didn't even know it was planned, too bad.

Although, now please announce the PC version!

I won't feel bad until the reviews for it come out. If it is great, which I doubt for some reason, then I may be jealous, but if it is one of the worse games of the year, then who cares?

I didn't really care about this game so I won't be missing it but that being said it is sad that Wii isn't getting this game at all. But if it is going to be canceled then this reason

due to quality and technical concerns

is good enough for me if it's true. Better to have a good quality game than crappy games!

^{the Jack Black-starring rock epic}

Anyone else get that far and stop caring?

I was under the impression that it got cancelled a while ago. After all, the final game for other platforms is coming out in September.

Ha, there was a Wii version of BL? I would die without knowing about it...

Guess its for the best, I don't think it would be a great hit on the wii. Nevertheless, I'm playing this as soon as possible

Wait ... there WAS a Wii version? Huh ... I guess I'll just stick to my plan of getting it for PS3 ...

Seems that like myself, a lot of people didn't even know there WAS a Wii version. I was planning to play it on PS3 if at all, so no worries for me.

I only though Brutal Legend was for 360 and PS3 but a Wii version? Never seemed real to me.

I didn't think it was coming to the Wii in the first place. I'd rather get it for my PS3 anyway. Better graphics and trophies.

This game doesn't appeal to me much anyways. I thought it looked really stupid.

I'm with those who were pretty sure there was never a Wii version in the works (i'm betting maybe they had a team tryng to port a version but couldn't get it done). Probably was going to be picking this up for the 360 anyway, depending on how reviews look.

Good I hate Jack Black but never knew they was working on a Wii version

BTW, to those who are hating on the game, you do realize it's from Tim "Psychonauts" Schafer, right?

Whatever. I wasn't gonna buy the Wii version anyway. Like pretty much all multiconsole games on Wii, it was probably gonna look like s**t and be inferior to the original. I'm getting it for 360.

@Shpydar. Exactly! This is Tim Schafer people, the guy who made Escape from Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and Psychonauts! I personally think the game looks very unique and awesome! And to everyone complaining about Jack Black, I hate him too, but it's only his voice, and it's not like it's gonna ruin the actual gameplay or anything.

Clearly not too many gamers here can feel the awesome power of metal.

So basically a rumor on top of a rumor? It was never confirmed for Wii in the first place, so why bother rumoring it's been canceled? Just diffuse the old rumor and leave it at that. I guess that would be too easy.

i hadn't even realized there was a Wii version of this in the works, so i'm glad i never had my hopes up for it in the first place -- otherwise, i would be hella disappointed at the moment.

Ill definately be buyin this on PS3 for sure. Mostly the Wii gets crappy ports of HD games anyways so prob not a bad thing that people arent wasting their money on a game that is suppose to be great isn't because of tech limitations.

Unsurprising.

Hell, all good games are going around the Wii... can someone tell me, if EU will get Ghostbusters for Wii? Thanks.

@opeter: Is there any particular reason you guys wouldn't get the Wii version? It was finished and released in NA, after all...I see no reason they wouldn't just localize it alongside the other versions.

Why are so many people hating on Jack Black? He's quite good in some things (School of Rock; that one episode of the X-files; Be Kind, Rewind), even if some of his other work isn't so good (I hated Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny). I think he'll fit into Brutal Legend quite well.

I love Tim Schafer, but I simply don't like this mash-up of high fantasy and heavy metal he's come up with... especially when it "stars" Jack Black. Couldn't care less that it won't make it to the Wii.

Damn it, now I need a PS3 even sooner. It's driving me crazy not being able to play this, Ratchet and Clank, Disgaea 3, and Metal Gear Solid 4!

I could see this doing extremely well on the 360 or PS3, but a Wii version would have been awkward and probably wouldn't sell as well as it will on the other counsles. I'll look for it on the 360, but this is probably for the best anyway.
