I think its pretty obvious RS2 failed because the Jews run the world and start all the wars.

Ubisoft is releasing No More Heroes on PS3 and Xbox 360.

If it generates enough revenue as an experiment, I don't see why they wouldn't consider doing a Red Steel 2 port for PS3 Move as a budget release.

Generates enough revenue for the publisher to finance another sequel.

Generally, making guestimations of a game's budget retroactively to justify poor sales would be a pretty poor marker for success (ie "it was a low budget game so it only needed to sell XXXk copies to make a profit/be successful"

Of course, it sounds like Ubisoft is pulling back from supporting the Wii platform with more games like Red Steel.

Either they'll continue to cut the budgets from both R&D (shorter turn around times, smaller staff) and marketing, or they'll just stick to the family games that are apparently providing a decent ROI considering how many of these they've been publishing.

Hard to declare "success" a year later when the totals include all the inventory that was dumped at bargain bin prices. There's quite a difference between a "platinum hit" that sold a million copies yet stays in print at a reduced price and initial print run inventory on a game that is currently no longer under production being sold at inventory clearing prices.

Absolutely unrelated. The No More Heroes PS360 port has no motion controls and likely isn't coming to America. That's more of a fan-game than any serious attempt at bringing Wii games across.

Besides, Red Steel 2 would have to be good enough to *sell* PS Move to sell on PS3, due to the vast userbase differences even if we just consider Motion Plus

Personally, I don't think it would sell well on the PS3. There are a lot of other titles that are of much higher quality for consumers to choose from.

It would only make sense as a budget release/quick and dirty port. It's perfectly possible to still pull a small profit from such a title.

Anyway, if Ubisoft wants to release NMH in Japan, again why not Red Steel in Japan (doesn't make a difference where it's being released) for reasons other than it may simply not have the small fan base that a game like NMH has. 

Mario Kart has local multiplayer therefore it's a party game. It is also an arcade game which makes it 'casual'.

Casual party games aren't core.

third party games always bomb on the wii. thats a fact.

But the Wii is domed before it's even possible for anything on it to bomb.

According to your definition of party games it looks like Madworld and House of the Dead are party games.

Also, any arcade game being casual must mean that something that I thought was pretty difficult like the original Donkey Kong or Defender is a casual game.

I wasn't aware of any of this.

You learn something new every day. 

Now seriously, if Red steel 2 sells 10% of what Wii Sports Resort sold, it will be fine.

(WSR sold so far 14.46m)
