What the hell? Gametrailers didn't notice No More Heroes 2 and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom both coming out on the same day in January? That's like 2 love letters to hardcore gamers right there. |
Oh they discussed No More Heroes 2, as a punchline about Wii don't sell 3rd party hardcore games blah blah blah. One of the panel argued it would be profitable but, as usual, the rest of them, including the goddamned host (indicating just how unproffesionaly biased the show is), tore it down as a waste of time.
The only saving grace was slight bewilderment at Uncharted 2 numbers. Its like theyre in disbelief that a core game for a core console, with tons of industry d*** sucking behind it, doesn't sell.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
