Outside of France Wonderful 101 is tanking. I played it and am not impressed in the least, I am not shocked the game is repetitive and boring as hell. My friend made the mistake of buying two copies at PAX in advance of launch. He's trying to give the one away and he can't even find anyone to take it for free. I live over an hour away or I would take it.
But seriously Hideki Kamiya is losing his credability, I hope Bayonetta2 can revive it he is an amazing artist but his games just aren't that fun. MadWorld was repetitive and boring as well.
The poor sales of the Zelda Bundle has me down too. You can't even sell out when you have five units, though selling 2 of the normal units is really impressive considering the fact that my EBGames was selling one every two weeks. Nintendo's marketing simply isn't acceptable outside of their amazing social media campaign their is pretty much no marketing at all. The kiosks going around from mall to mall were pointless they were poorly assembled and the game selection wasn't impressive.
Nintendo's marketing was amazing at the end of the GameCube and even better at the beginning of the Wii. They need to get their act together or the WiiU can't recover the console itself isn't the problem, the games are a problem but won't be by November...the marketing however is crap!
