in the wake of E3 the internet has been flooded with  cries of nintendo has abandoned the hardcore and only focusing on casuals. now to my mind wii music is the only casual title from nintndo as i consider both animal crossing and super mario baseball to be bridge titles similar to mario kart. but these titles are apparently not core enough. fatal frame and captain rainbow(yes id say this is core, japanese core mind you) are not countered as they are not seing a western release this year (as far as we are aware).  i have no idea why wario doesnt seem to count but oh well.

suddenly disaster is announced for europe which messes everything up. its quite clearly a core title that seems to fit wehat people have been asking for. it is mature themed, involves an engaging story, has a high difficulty mode so cant be 'dumbed down'  and is a new IP so cant fall pray to the 'we dont want the same old mario/zelda crap' thing. plus with its variety in gameplay and game modes as well as some interesting replayabillity it looks like it could be a very good game. i see monolith soft becoming another retro for nintendo.

from what ive seen the new argument is either 'too little too late'(which i really dont get) or 'its only one core game' (again wario is forgotten)

put down what you think and what u predict for first year sales

ya I cant wait for this game.

I really couldn't say, because we can't predict the level of advertising it will get, which seems to greatly affect the sales of these games on Wii. If properly advertised (and if it's of suitable quality), I think this game could do 2 million at the very least.

500k..Depens solely on advertising and if it receives good reviews,then it will sell million..

So true. Nintendo fans are fucking annoying sometimes. I still can't believe all the Wii Music hate.

 i kinda get the wii music hate cos it doesnt look like a good game. and im not saying that cos its casual as i though wii sports and wii fit were quite good. i just think that E3s focus on wii music i responsible

I hate how people forget Wario Land. Am I the only one that didn't care about E3? Nintendo will never stop making core games... I haven't even finished most of my Wii games.

and yes, Disaster does prove everybody wrong.

Because it's a crappy looking game that seems to require no actual skill to play. 

For as much as I'm looking forward to Disaster: Day of Crisis, I have my doubts that it'll be super successful since it has very little hype and was considered nearly dead vaporware for quite a while.  If Nintendo is smart and they properly promote the game, it could have a great deal of success.  But I don't see Nintendo doing that.  Even on online forums, people hardly mention it, and there's no new trailer or gameplay footage.  The pictures alone aren't really selling it. 

I don't know what to think about this game, little is known, there are no trailers nothing. If ninty does not push with marketing the game might not be commercialy succesful , yet there is still enough time untill the release date.

Well i think i am initially interested in this title but i need more information, from what i saw visually game looks good enough.

they could use Tv adverts like they didn with brawl. but yeah they need more internet marketing
