Machinarium WiiWare port was nearly finished, killed off cause it was 'not good'

"The port is practically finished, but after some discussions, we decided not to release it because it's just not good.. The resolution is crap, and we had to squeeze the whole game (which is around 360 MB in [the] original version) into [the] 40 MB WiiWare limit. The music sounds terrible, the background pictures are heavily compressed, and we had to throw out ... some animations." - XGen Studios' Jakub Dvorský

Machinarium is an amazing game, but this WiiWare port sounds like it would have hurt the overall quality of the product. Glad to hear the devs backed off. Let's hope that possible Wii U version ends up a reality.
