I mean no Wii gamer gonna buy a bloody game for their 5 year old child who is playing Wii Fit Plus with their grandma. Its gonna freak them out LMAO. So mature games are a no-no in Nintendo's systems. Thats what i think BTW so no trolling or flaming all right??? |
I'm sorry but this post makes no sense. If the Wii is only used by 5 year olds and their grandmothers playing Wii Fit together as you so quaintly put it, why on earth would EA bother to make this game in the first place? I fail to see how this is the fault of the machine.
No matter what way you cut it, it's the publishers fault. They didn't make the right game for the right market and even then, as much as you seem to want to deny it, they totally failed to market it, vital if you are hoping to tap the large casual market. The only thing done right, was that apparently the developers made a half decent light gun game.
However, as has been discussed ad nauseum it seems Wii owners; grandmothers, 5 year olds, and the core alike have had enough of this particular genre. If in fact EA do want to make a game for the Wii core then half-assing it (rail shooter, short, buggy?, limited replay + full price etc) really isn't the way to go.
So no, it's not a case of mature games not selling on the Wii, it's a case of releasing a game that half the userbase doesn't know about and the other half doesn't care for.
