| kingofwale said: What Nintendo has... not so much 'the game', but 'the tradition' or the 'name recognition' It has proven countless times that Nintendo doesn't even need to make good games, they just need to 'whore' their mascots around. the fact those games are good (SSBB and SMG) is just a bonus. |
Except there are quite a few games that have Nintendo mascots "whored" out into them that don't sell well at all...
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
