deluded argument
"Tomb Raider is a Playstation thing, along with Tales of___" - First tomb raider game was PS1/Sega Saturn.... all tomb raider games have been multi-platform outside of 2, and 3 which remain PS1 exclusives..... So no, its not a playstation thing. She's "Associated with the Playstation" brand, because she was marketed during the PS1 days, not anymore. Tales of has been milked to death. It's been in every console. Tales of Graces on the wii got oustold by a 1 year old-port on the PS3.... with an inferior userbase on Japan.... so yeah... good luck with that. Even tales of vesperia on the 360 outsold tales of symphonia wii...
"2D games and Sonic games are at home on Nintendo consoles. New Super Mario Bros, Epic Mickey, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Sonic, Klonoa, Castlevania Rebirth, A Boy and His Blob, de Blob, Flip's Twisted World, the list goes on"- this i can agree with, but i would argue that it would be better to make a 2D game on the Nintendo DS, Xbox Live Arcade, Wiiware, or even Playstation Network. Better, faster, cheaper.
"The Wii, at least, is the most accepting console for games of Castlevania's true nature."- so your argument is that since games that feature Mario, Donkey Kong, Sonic, and Mickey sell, then Castlevania will sell as well.... flawed argument. Also Klonoa, A boy and His Blob, Flip's Twisted World bombed hard. I'll add the Batman: brave and bold 2D game from wayforward to that list of bombs.
"If Lords of Shadow was a Wii exclusive, even in its current form, the only competition it would've ever had was the Rygar port which couldn't push 75k. Rygar was a failure on Tecmo's part" - now this is why your credibility on the forums will take a dive. "If it was a WII exclusive".... how many times have i read that this gen. Your argument makes you rather show your true nintendo fan feelings, rather than fact. Why not just say, if there was a version of the game that took full advantage of the platform? The competition it will face, is retail space. It has no brand recognition to the new Wii userbase (soccer moms, children) other than to gamers, and retailers love to stack on nintendo games, because they know people will buy them, because of the brand, or character (mario) affiliation. Thank god you don't run a video game company, it would had gone bankrupt by now. 2D games are a dying breed, and it was a wise choice for them to make cheap , quality games for the DS.
If i'm not mistaken, Lords of Shadow was a success, that DLC is in plan to be released soon, and a sequel is bound to be announced. Doubt you've even played the game.
