I don't get it, why is there so much discussion over this relatively minor title?

It had a mediocre budget and didn't sell so well, is that so earth shattering?

It is the cornerstone of third-party Wii success: the fact that Capcom USA's marketing VP says it was a commercial failure is proof-positive that third-party Wii game cannot sell, and will not sell. The curtain has been pulled back, the emperor has been shown to have no clothes, the Scooby gang has pulled off the "monster's" mask and revealed that it was the gravedigger all along. From this day forward, there will be No Joy In Mudville.

Any questions?

While I personally don't care about the great Z&W controversy of '09 (unless it pertains to the factuality of whether a game that has multiple sequels/spin-offs can somehow be considered a failure), I must say that's certainly a reasonable and entertaining response.
