Now, I am in no position to say that the Wii U holiday line-up this year has been anything but...sparse.

But, even then, this is the only game apart from FAST Racing NEO that I am really starting to look forward to for the holidays - and I find it utterly ridiculous that NoA has chosen to ignore this title, and lots of other people too. I mean, it's a very real possibility that the game won't even reach Sonic Boom for the Wii U in terms of sales figures - despite the game being arguably superior and being a much better deal.

It's rather sad, too, considering how 3D Sonic has never really been nailed.

I mean, while the game looks rather dated, just look at this trailer:

Even if the Wii U version turns out to be crap, there's a possibility - a rather big one -  that the Wii version has actually turned out even better with its arcade-style focus. And, it is bundled with the Wii U version, too, so it's a better buy than the 3DS version - which appears to be based off the Wii U version.

Devil's Third sucked enough that it got a bunch of attention for being mega terri-bad, Rodea just doesn't get any attention at all.



What? You are looking for Rodea but not for XCX? pfff

Sorry, I don't want to get burnt out on JRPGs, there are simply too many for me to play on the 3DS. And...it's too long, I'm thinking of getting it around the time my second semester ends - which is way after the holidays.

But, yeah, I'm starting to really think that Rodea is more interesting than Xenoblade X. Especially that Wii version, it's interesting to see what development changes they have made - I'm thinking of taking some time with the title to appreciate both versions.

I didn't think it was possible, but after watching that trailer I'm even less interested in the game.

That trailer doesnt really do it any favors.

Gameplay doesnt really look that fun.

 

Either thats a bad representation of the game, from the trailer, or the game just isnt going to be that "magical".

 

*I found the issue:

The single player part of the trailer looks horrible.  throw that part away.

Then they showcase like 5sec of the Wii U version, rest of the trailer is the Wii one.

Make a new trailer with 100% of the footage from the Wii U version and just mention it also runs on the wii.

Make 2/3's of the trailer showcaseing multiplayer race mode, that actually looked semi okay.

 

^ do above, and make sure its seen, and it ll probably sell okayish. 



You know, I was going to buy this game at release, but my job is eating my time away, so no games this month or the next. If it gets s digitsl discount, I'll get it.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.
