Yes...because every time quality games come out, you guys don't buy them. So when a developer knows they're taking a risk, they let the consumers know. Then, it turns out that the product is quality, and not just some shovelware, and you guys still don't buy. It really is a shame, because you've failed all the "tests" so far. 3rd parties doubted the Wii, so none of their big projects come to the Wii. When a good game finally does, you don't buy. Yes, shame |
Rather, every time a 'quality' game on the Wii fails to meet 'expectations' somebody makes a thread about it. I would love to have seen how this would have sold on the HD consoles, even with the existing fan base from the first game.
I think what Wii owners have voted with their wallets is that 'tests' aren't quality. I mean come on, "if you buy this game which we admit isn't our best effort we promise we'll make a better one next time". That's how the whole shovelware cycle started. If DSE sold well on a smaller budget and shorter development time what incentive do the publishers have to fund a larger project if they can just release DES2 on a smaller budget and watch it sell to people who bought the first one.
Furthermore, there is a very big gap between shovelware and a game worth buying for most people. This game certainly isn't shovelware, but it's far from the best or most unique game in the Wii's library, even among recent releases.
Finally, for the person who suggested that this game is more worthy of my hard earned $50 than NSMBW, thankyou, I laughed heartily.
