You know what I miss about those old beat em ups. They were solid multiplayer games. Wii(we, us) is a multiplayer console. hmm I wonder if something is missing.

I agree with ZombLEET. The offerings for the Wii in regards to the aging game focus just isn't with the newer trend of gaming. They like the old style sitting in there dim lounges playing the uppercrust of games.

With that in mind. I don't see any flood of these games coming enough to sway this hardcore! group enough to make the Wii a viable harcore machine. Unless of course something like GTA:CTW Wii game out.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

I bet the sequel will sell better if they make it other with mutliplayer and online and fix the camera.

 

I would be surprised if they made a sequel.  Even if something sells well enough. The ex clover side deveopers are usually not fans of that sorta thing,they like new IP's and trying new things.(Viewtiful Joe only did because Capcom told them to and RE and DMC asked for sequels)

Plus Madworld is not a game that needs a sequel. Some games beg for a sequel as it has a deep story and left loopholes or a cliffhanger but Madworld is one to be a single game.

However I do hope they bring more games to Wii in the future just something new.

based on the first week sales, about 50k, and a recent talk with a gamestop employee, madoworld seems to have flopped and/or not sold well.  Here's how the conversation went.

 

 

This thread fails right out of the gate.  Gamestop employees are as knowledgable about gaming as Pro-Life zealots are about the abortion process.

Thus, this thread gets the official stamp -



i dont have it yet, but i will very soon

definetly next wii game for me. unless im lazy, dont buy it for a while, and a new warioware comes out . . .

but yeh within the month i'll own it



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

i hasn't flopped because it wasn't sold in 1 shop, for god's sake!



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

I don't see what's wrong with 57 000 sales, especially since it launched at the same time as RE5.

Sorry but that's bullshit.

I actually agree with Zomb1337 about the PS3/360 versus Wii deal.



Of course, "hardcore" games don't sell on Wii. Just ask Brawl, SMG, Twilight Princess, RE4, RE: UC, Mario Kart Wii, Red Steel, COD5, Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime 3, as well as a ton of others!
