Let's be honest for a second. The Condiut, Madworld, Muramasa, and NMH all sucked. They weren't good games by any real standard. Okami sold like crap on the PS2 also. Personally I'm happy about its failure because I hate Okami with a red hot fiery passion, but that aside it's a last gen port of a bad selling game. Metroid Prime 3 sold better than Metroid Prime 2 and according to VG chartz it sold more than Super Metroid. I have all the console Metroid games but they definitely appeal to a specific type of player and looking at the sales of the previous games it's successful by Metroid standards. Punch Out I don't have an answer for. Its legs don't look too horribly bad, though, so it may slowly eek its way past 1mln which is never a bad thing. A crappy game is a crappy game and I have no problems watching games like The Condiut, Okami, and Zack and Wiki flounder and die horrible deaths. I mean was anyone honestly excited about a Dead Space rails shooter? As soon as I heard it was on rails all interest in the game dropped. They had a young interesting franchise they could have exapanded on with the Wii but instead sat around on their asses enjoying the smell of their own farts and phoned in a spinoff like anyone actually gives a crap about the Dead Space franchise. The Wii will probably not see a really breakout non-Nintendo game, but it's hardly Nintendo's fault that the video game industry is largely lazy uncreative hacks. |
Well that's just an opinion, but i really think that those games are some of the best 3rd party efforts on the Wii. Madworld and NMH are excellent (havent played Muramasa or the Conduit yet)
People are silly thinking that games like Madworld, Muramasa, Okami or NMH would sell loads on HD twins, those games arent your typical big budget productions that sell on HD twins , they would share the fate of tens of titles that get released every week but dont appeal to the "hardcore".
