I imagine third parties have burned a lot of bridges on the Wii. As much as I think Red Steel 2 will be miles above the first one, I have the sneaking feeling it's going to sell less. Not only because of Red Steel 1, but because Ubisoft has become the LJN of this generation.
I have a feeling 20 years down the line there's going to be a whole generation of gamers that had Wiis as kids, memories of playin Mario Kart and NSMBW, and Assassin's Creed won't even be remembered. Ubisoft's legacy this generation will probably be defined by the shovelware, because the biggest audience will be the one defining them.
This pretty much sums up LJN, but anyone who was a kid in the NES generation learned this rule after 1 or 2 screwed weekends stuck with a shitty game:
