| Kyros said: Besides some great multiplatform games(Force, PES, Alone in the Dark), the rest is either japanese and/or I have never heard about it. The situation simply is that there are no really big third-party exclusives that appeal to the western world to generate some hype. (Red Steel perhaps but thats rather embarrassing) Get over it. There may even be some games that will sell really good because they target a wider more casual audience (like Carnival or Sega Olympics) but its hard to generate "hype" for games like that. |
So, just because they're Japanese (ever heard of a series called Final Fantasy?) or you've never heard of them, they can't appeal to the "Western world"? Whatever.
@ Words of Wisdom: The reason why Wii fans are hyped for some of these games is because they look good. C;mon; don't tell me you're not excited to stab things with your stinger as a scorpion, or shake maracas without having to own a Dreamcast, or play a Red Steel game that doesn't suck. :)
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
