Yep, it's the weekend alright.

Seriously though, the only reason Ninjabread Man didn't sell well was because it was a niche core gingerbread ninja game. Honest!

At least humanity has some sense.

Ninjabread Man was such a raving success that they are making a sequel. Don't trust people with Knuckles avatars!

Well it did have 3 other games that was exactly like it but with a new coat of paint.

Anubis II, Some candyland game, and an Elvis game.

 

 

 

Yes and they were all originally released on the PS2 but Sony fans seem to not notice that.

In Europe only. The Wii opened the door for Data Design Interactive.

Unlike "Hardcore" games, "Core" games have a definition which doesn't change to take on any meaning that the person using the term wants to at that point in time ... "Core" games are the kinds of games which have been popular on multiple consoles for multiple generations, and they represent the center of the videogame market.

Whether people want to call games like No More Heroes, Zack and Wiki and MadWorld "Core" games or not, there haven't been many games that are similar to them and been popular so I'm not so sure they can really be called "Core" games.

STOP defending trash on Wii with excuses about core,casual and niche. Get involved. Inform your local community that the Wii is so much more then the sub-par games that seem to be all the rage these days. If good games sell well on Wii that means they will make more of them.


All of teh AAAA games have sold on the Wii except for Okami.. which didn't do so hot on the PS2 either. What is wrong? You don't trust metacritic anymore?

Triple A will generally sale really well no matter what console it's on too.

I'm wondering if this is a troll thread.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

I'm going to ignore the topic for a minute here, because this discussion warrants a lot more time and effort than I'm able to give.

What's up with the JEM avatar? Is that your name - no one else is the same?

Well, I have a Wii and am very pleased with almost every one of the games I've bought for it. So to each their own, huh?

What is with all this talk about core and niche and casual with Wii fanboys? "This game sold like crap because it's not core it's niche", "Petz isn't shovelware it's casual", "Core is not hardcore it's any game that bolsters my arguement at the current moment".

2 years and three months later I can count the number of great Wii games on one hand (PS2 and Gamecube ports not included). As a Wii owner that makes me sick. But not Wii fanboys. They are too busy jumping up and down with joy every time the Wii outsells crack, or gets a larger shelf spot in their local Walmart.

I find this post funny.

People bitched that Nintendo where to hard on quality control in the N64 days and because of that they lost ground  and relationships with developers to Sony and some core franchises.

Now that they are getting more support slowly again because of their relaxed game control, you want to complain about shovelware? Sadly this shovelware sells to casuals as well as ends up on the console with the largest userbase.

Nintendo can't seem to please no matter which way they go.
