omg - will nintendo fans every be satisfied? does every wii game have to have a GTA/halo level advertisement budget?

I believe the mentality goes: if a good yet edgy little title graces the Wii but fails to find an audience, it's ALWAYS the fault of the publisher for not spending more on marketing, even if the game was developed on an admittedly tight budget. 

The Red Steel 2 reception is looking eerily similar to NMH2, Motion Plus selling point aside. It can only mean that games like these will continue to be the rare exception to the normal fare on the Wii.

 

Oh please, Wii games are supposed to sell with minimum or crappy advertising? Ever notice anything that all the big Nintendo games have in common? Nintendo advertises them, they do it a lot and they do it well.

 

Secondly, what does NMH have to do with Red Steel 2? Red Steel 2 isn't edgy at all, it's a teens rated sword fighting game. Something a hell of a lot of people would want. Which is why even without advertising the game will do well in the long run, but not promoting the game is such a waste of potential.
