| KungKras said: Red Steel 2 Didn't sell becasue of the Samurai western theme. If it would had a more familiar theme that spoke to more people, say like a classic fantasy theme, it would have sold tons regardless of its name. |
That's probably 10th on the list behind:
piraters
Red Steel baggage
hardly any replay
WM+ still in toddler stage
lack of substantial advertising
not as 1:1 as people originally thought
lack of multiplayer/co-op as originally thought
not a nintendo product/distrust for 3rd parties
no online component
I don't think many people would avoid the game because of the setting. For a sword/gun weilding hero, western samurai makes sense.
This game will have legs at a discount price. As of now, it isn't valuable enough to most wii owners
