Killer App! cant wait for this!


I honestly can't see this being a killer ap. It seems too colourful and cheesy for the brooding dudebros who need to play grey-and-brown gorefests to make themselves feel like men, but without the kind of hook that would grab droves of casuals. That's not to say it won't do well, but I have trouble imagining people by the millions running out to buy Wii Us to play it.

Well its the type of game Nintendo core players go for games that know they are games.

True, and I reckon it can crack a million, but I just don't see that extra special something that would propel it to system seller status.

Yeah, I don't see it moving a ton of consoles but it could prove to be a sleeper hit with the critics.

Hey, Nintendo, here's a thought: put some freak'n money behind it with some advertising so it doesn't go unnoticed (unlike poor ZombiU).


That seems like what Iwata has in mind when he stated that he has no intension of lowering the price of the WiiU. He said that the value of the console needed to be communicated better. i.e. better advertising. I guess they had started. The following days when ever I tried to pull some gaming videos from Youtube I usally had the advertisment to come and watch the Nintendo Direct pop up before hand. Whether they continue to do so remain the question. They have the right idea in that just carpet bombing TV isn't the answer. Lower cost approaches that target where the target audience is does better.

Plus bring in software, but we will have to wait for the next ND for that.
