The sequel doing poorly has more to do with it not being a good deal, rather than people being disappointed with Wii Play. As a standalone game, Wii Play Motion feels redundant, because there have been so many minigame compilations for the Wii already. This one supporting Wii Motion Plus doesn't matter all that much either, because in the Wii's fifth year people are looking for something more fleshed out than minigames. As a package with a Wii Remote Plus, it isn't a good deal either. Why buy a WRP when no WM+ games are in sight? Wii Play was a good deal, because it was a compilation of nine more or less fun minigames bundled with a controller. A good introduction to the Wii's pointer controls for a console that emphasized local multiplayer. The game had value, the controller had value. But nowadays people have not only played plenty of minigame compilations, but also own enough controllers already. Wii Play Motion would be appealing, if there was a bunch of great WM+ required multiplayer games ahead of us, but since that isn't the case, what's the point? So Wii Play Motion really only is a good purchase for those who have just bought a Wii recently and considering how poor Wii hardware sales have been this year, it follows that Wii Play Motion does poor as well. |
that makes sense, i still think WiiPlay could have been much better, IMHO
