This game doesn't have "Wii" or "Mario" in its title...it was destined to fail on the Wii

Neither does "Guitar Hero" or "Resident Evil" - neither of which failed.  Go troll somewhere else!

 

 

Yes, because Guitar Hero and Resident Evil are also brand new IP exclusive for the Wii.... wait a second.

 

Third party exclusive title being ignored by casual audience the in absent of any Nintendo paid ads featuring "Wii would like to pay"?? Is this really shocking?

Not as shocking as Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Burnout paradise, and Tales of Vesperia falling at retail. But no one wants to talk about that.

 

Are you referring to the games that essentially got lost in translation amongst the big holiday lineup (Dead Space and ME), the game that has sold over a million amongst the HD consoles, and probably over a million alone on the PS3 due to it being a PSN title (Burnout), or the game that I openly admitted to failing at retail (ToV).

The only thing, under those conditions, that Mushroom Men is comprable to it ToV....there were no big releases around that game on the Wii...except maybe CoD: WaW (but nobody on the Wii bought that game)....and this game is definitely not a million seller. So, what're you getting at about "no one wants to talk about that"?

The reason games like Prince of Persia and Valkyria Chronicles do badly is because Gears 2, Fable 2, Resistance, LBP, CoD: WaW, Fallout 3, etc. completely surround it. What excuse do you have for MM doing badly?

 

Oh please, spare us the half-assed indignation. You don't have a Wii and even if you did you would have never touched this game. There's a 90% chance you never even heard of it until you saw this thread so don't come in here with some piss-poor interrogation like people have to "explain" why yet another gamecock game flopped when the only people putting weight on this game, a game they've NEVER discussed before, are Sony fanboys.

And no, the Vesperia comparison isn't valid because Mushroom Men isn't a big budget sequel to a long running franchise that got outsold by its Wii cousin on a smaller budget.

I know Sony is in a tight spot, but bearing your teeth at low profile Wii games is not going to save them.
