People need to stop blaming the sales of games based on excuses such as a game being 'niche' or 'bungled Cover Art'. Muramasa falls under the same genre as Metroid and Castlevania, its not niche. And the concept art for Little Kings Story is no different or obscure than something such as Katamari Damacy or Disgaea. The simple reason these games didn't sell is because they didn't have good marketing (IE: any aside from limited online advertising) and were poorly distributed (were only available in limited venues such as Game Stop and certain department stores, but not found in most Best Buys, Wal Marts, Toys r Us, etc).
The simple fact is, hardly anyone is buying Marvelous games because hardly anyone knows about them. Not because of things like 'niche genre' or 'bad cover art'.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
