They advertised it a lot. There was tons of hype towards MadWorld. Niche is a word this game is not. I do admit people turning away because of black and white and length but not because it is niche. I do not care if a game I get is niche, but if it is good. |
A beatem up done with black and white graphics, is part of a particular niche. Games fit into different niches. Now, you may lament that the niche that MadWorld in, isn't particularly popular, but that is life. Why do you think a game with over the top gore, and a black and white (and red all over) color style would appeal to a lot of people, no matter how brilliantly executed it is?
I think Raider Fighters is brilliantly executed. Do you want to lay down $20 for a 2D SHUMP? Do you want MILLIONS of people to do so? Why would you expect people to do this?
