"Nintendo's games well exceed the average marketing budget for a HD game, I think Wii FIt has exceed $40 million in the US alone for marketing (cna dig up a source somewhere)."
It's a major game, which I brought up. Battalion Wars and Fire Emblem didn't have marketing budgets that high.
"But yeah, just because most Wii's games marketing hasn't gone that high yet, doesn't mean it won't or shouldn't. Most people on here are quick to blame a lack of marketing for a Wii game struggling, and I personally think third parties need to up the marketing budget to turn their Wii fortunes around."
Of course, but even then the marketing doesn't need to be as high as an HD game. Those often cost far more than $10 million, due to the development costs requiring even more copies to make a profit. SD games do not have that issue.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
