 I'm so glad NMH is coming to HD consoles I'm leaning toward it being a GTA:CW situation all over again.

 

So you're excited because an underappreciated game might flop when given another chance to find a new audience? What is wrong with you?

You say underappreciated I say overrated. It did well enough to warrant a sequel so it couldn't have been that underappreciated. But I'm sick of the Wii being used as a scapegoat for why certain titles don't sell. So I guess that is what's wrong with me. CW did well enough on DS now but you probably saw threads claiming how DS can't sell "hardcore titles" and all the other bull shit that follows and it was quite annoying to read such gribble on an otherwise insightful website. We even had ppl believe it should have been released on PSP because it would have sold millions...Now with sucky psp sales it is other excuses as to why it hasn't sold well..but the common idea is that a top down gta just isn't as mainstream as the 3-d ones. SO it wasn't the DS' fault.

So bottomline, you ask what's wrong with me? Nothing. What irks me? devs and publishers blaming an audience for their failings instead of themselves.
