" If MDK2 was a good title, it would have come to the HD consoles as well, because that's how remasters of old games work "

Sorry? What? Since when? And for your information, they have released it on steam and gog.com. On gog.com it has a rating of 4.5/5 from over 1000 users. I found 3 reviews on metacritic, all 8/10 or over. There is no metric by which you could say this is not a 'good' or 'well received' game, apart from a made up one. (like the one you just made up.)

I cannot believe you are arguing in defense of the 6000 sale limit. I really cannot.  

You are trying to rationalise a multinational company such as Nintendo, with billions upon billions of dollars in capital, refusing to give a small third party a single cent from their video game release, because it sold less then 6000 units on their service.

"Oh, your game sold only 2000 units? Oh, your game sold only 5999 units? Whatever, we are not giving you a cent of that money for the game you developed and released on our platform." Talk about a healthy relationship with third parties!

I recognize your quality control argument, it is the only believable defense that anyone could conjure up for this horrible business practice. How is an arbitrary limit on the units a company has to sell a quarantee of quality? 

Let me ask you, how do other donwload services manage quality control without withholding money from developers? That's right, they use a better system to determine the quality of the game. Steam and gog.com, hell even PSN and xbla seem to manage it, why hasn't Nintendo thought of a proper way of doing it? They're definitely not short on cash and they could hire whoever they want. It's plain incompetence, is what it is.

All of those games. I remember reading this on a link. Useful, I know. I'll tell you if I find it again.

I am not going to praise the whole 6000 unit limit, but I will ask this, what are the rules for XBLA and PSN? Are there limits, and do you know them, does Wii Ware take a lower precentage of a sale once past the limit compared to others? 

As for why Nintendo hasn't done this or that, the past is the past and we all know they kind of blew chunks at online features previously, but relating this to the Wii U is what the topic claimed and we don't know exactly what the deal is yet, or do we?

Thanks.

It's a Bioware classic but not as well known as Baldur's Gate. Should be worth checking out though, if you're a fan of Bioware's earlier work.

Its not Nintendo's fault you couldnt sell 6,000 units lol. Market yur game better and he knew all this before he started development why bitch now.

Well there's definitely a problem with how the game is advertised if it can't push 6k units.

Lol i can't tell if your serious or not Pezus....ok you are I believe. I just think if your game couldn't sell even that many then its your fault mostly. Even if nintendo did something where they give the dev and publisher half the revenue in sale until it reaches a certain milestone this developer couldn not have broken even at all with less than 6,000 units sold im guessing. 

It didn't sell because they didn't advertise it. I've never heard of it, let alone have any interest in it...

Whilst the rules regarding WiiWare are silly, the 'excuse' of 3rd parties not selling is wafer-thin. For example, look at Epic Mickey, Goldeneye and Monster Hunter Tri. 3 discrete devs, who all made the effort to produce a AAA 3rd-party Wii exclusive, all of whom received sales of over 2,000,000 for trying.

To put it simply, don't put in the money and effort to let people know it exsists, you don't reap rewards, and vice-versa. They have, sadly, no-one to blame but themselves.
