Any talk of why NMH2 bombed so hard? Or what about S&P2?
There must be some reason all these core games bomb on the Wii. Or we should atleast hear an excuse.

The fact that NMH2 has a limited appeal to begin with and was released with barely a whisper of marketing attached to it on the same day that Mass Effect 2, M.A.G., and to a lesser extent Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom was also released may have something to do with its underperformance.
Sin & Punishment 2 was never going to sell well because, among other things, it's a rail-shooter, which means its success is going to be very limited (unless it has a huge name attached to it, which it didn't).
I'm not bashing either game, though. I think both of them are great.

Well in my opinoin, the original was not very good and that might have a lot to do with the poor sales of NMH2. I mean the original sold well so why didn't they come back for the sequel? Even the legs have been bad at discounted prices.
I don't expect mega sales for a rail shooter. But I was expecting better than it has received. Its almost like TV advertising had no impact.

S&P2 doesn't surprise me. I'm sure there's a lot of people (like myself) who'd like to own it but simply can't justify paying $50 for it.
At this point people expect so much more for the money.
S&P2 should have been a Wiiware title for $15 - and would have likely sold very well at that.
