I figured out why 3rd parties hesitate to put their best teams on Wii games

Malstrom? Partially correct though.

 

 I was thinking the same, lol

I agree with the OP, but then we see things like Deadly Creatures bombing, and it becomes pretty clear why third parties hesitate to put some effort. (The game may have legs though)

 

 An abstract,different game that had no advertisng campaign,its their fault it bombed.Not pumping cash into advertising a wii game is part of what we're talking about here.Imagine this game being advertised on documentaries,online encyclopedia,horror movie TV-hours and anime websites.

All that advertising would cost more than the development costs lol

I think they are probably waiting to see if it gets some positive word of mouth and save some money. I mean, the game was well known on videogames sites, so core gamers should know about it..... right?
