Indie developers hate retro games

[lion2]

It seems that some Wiiware developers are complaining about the amount of retrogames on Xbox Live arcade. They seem to be tired of being outsold by these games.
Having better royalties is a great reason for switching to Wiiware, but I don't see how the problem of too many retrogames will be any different on the Wii. They have the virtual console with even more retrogames. Just because you're separating Wiiware and the VC doesn't mean that they aren't competing for the same dollars. It would probably piss of consumers more if everything is not integrated.

Some people dont' consider the old classic arcade games "s***".

Come out with compelling content, and people will buy. Or you can just whine about how you are losing out to "rehashes" of 20 year old games.

That makes absolutely no sense to me , whatsoever. That said, I still think that Wiiware might turn out to be interesting .... I'm not holding my breath but if it turns out to be half decent it'll be a pleasant surprise!

They should stop crying and concentrate on making their games. And keeping the file size down.
