So you pick up a struggling developer, make them make a game - just so you can smuggle a few more exclusives to your console, and then let the company burn out?

Lol, what you just stated in their defense, is even worse behavior.  Parasitic almost.

They really should advertise it more. ND doesn't help one bit since the audience it reaches already know about it. I don't really agree with the classification of a niche title. It could be a real breakout success like the lbp series or it could fail hard. This seem like a franchise that could be fairly popular with the younger audience, like you said if they have toys and stuff. Think along the lines of skylander.

            So... Nintendo fucked up again. Kamiya tweeted a while ago about how there  isn't any marketing for  The Wonderful 101. He is saying how stores aren't marketing it because they don't understand what it is.

            You are controlling  a bunch of heroes and you can transform into different things. Yeah. Very hard to understand. Anyway, he is also saying how there are no previews in magazines and such. He compares it to Okami by saying how nobody understands it. Sigh...

            I REALLY DON'T WANT THE  GAME TO BOMB LIKE  EVERY PLATINUM GAME EVER MADE, but Nintendo just keeps fucking up. This game is getting  a Direct, but the people who will watch that direct alredy know the damn game.

            I will suggest this idea until Nintendo fucking gets it.  Start a new series of NPC toys featuring heroes from the Wonderful 101. Market the heck out of the game and the toys and everything will be fine. But, NO! Of course they are not going to use that idea that is almost common sense given the type of game The Wonderful 101 is. Why?
            Because it doesn't have  a Mario sticker slapped on it. It doesn't have a Zelda sticker slapped on it. It doesn't have a Mario Kart sticker slapped on it. They are playing it safe instead of taking minimal risks. And Nintendo wonders why their sales are struggling.

Well instead of talking about what nintendo is not doing why don't you and the rest of the people who want this game to succeed do something. This is 2013. If you wan something to succeed go viral with it. Companies like nintendo will only do so much. Which is still more than you all give them credit but maybe not enough to guarantee great success. Us gamers are ones who spread the word about these games. Without gamers going on viral campaigns like using twitter and youtube so games now would not be successes at all. So if you want this game to be very successful lets start making hashtags on twitter and make this game a trending topic. Lets go on youtube and say how awesome we think this game is. Lets go on nintendos Facebook and twitter and tell them not to let this die and put and bigger presence of this game out there to the media. Superheroes are big, a lot of us still love nintendo, and most of us want platinum to be a success. So if you want this game to be big make it big.
