Employee at GameStop said we were the only customers to pre-order this Wii U launch title. No online play, but it seems promising. We could use some arcade tank blasting fun!Like · · Share · 35 minutes ago

 

 

Seeing how they were the only ones to pre-order this game, I am kind of thinking this one will not do too well.

ESPN may not do too well either.

 

What games do you think will bomb?

Mass Effect 3 will probably bomb hard. Then EA will go "hurrdurr our gaemz don't sell on Niitendo conzole, we outa here". And I will be like

and pick up ME3 for Wii U in 6 months from the bargain bin.

I am sure they will. "Lets release a game that no Nintendo gamer will understand because they have not played the other ones, make it no different than the HD systems, and call it a day!" Hopefully it pushes a million so we can laugh in their faces!

Bomb sales wise - Probably a lot simply because there are actually too many launch games to be properly supported early on. Not the fault of the games but the nature of a selection.

Bomb review wise - Could also be several as teams rushed and/or were outsourced to quickly cash in on the Wii U launch.

Given how well TTT2 sold elsewhere, the bar for TTT2 is pretty low here, given the additional handicap of a late-port-launch-title. I think it could handily meet reasonable expectations

Mass Effect 3 is going to terribomb.

Mass Effect 3 has been designed to bomb, and it will do so in a glorious, spectacular fashion.

My bet is 350,000 LTD

Those types of numbers were fine for the Wii back in the day. Just to maybe break even. But that is not going to cut it this gen.

I think most titles will underperform, simply because there's too much and too many late releases:

Flop:
Mass Effect 3
Darksiders 2
Trine 2
Tanks Tanks Tanks
That 101 game whatever it's called now

Tekken Tag TeamNinja Gaiden

Mediocore:
Batman:AC
CoD:BO II (very poor compared to 360/PS3 but okay overall)
Madden

Well:
ESPN
Rabbids
Sonic Racing (probably sells best on WiiU)
ZombiiU
Assassin's Creed 3 (by far lowest of 3 consoles)
Wii Fit U (but this will be terrible compared to the original's sales)
Just Dance 4 (poor compared to JD3)
Rayman Legends (I'm just hoping here...)
Lego City
Scribblenauts

Great:
NSMBU
NintendoLand

ME3, AC3, Darksiders 2, Tanks Tanks Tanks, the 101 game. What's ESPN?
