"And you thought Halo 3 sold well?"

the shipment numbers are important, no big deal if a shipment of a 1000 sells out on the first week.

As a guess the shipment would probably be 25,000 to 100,000. The 25,000 range would demonstrate that retailers had little faith that they could sell any copies of this game (and it was bound to end up in there bargin bin) whereas 100,000 would mean that they thought the uniqueness and low cost of this game would make it a very popular budget game. Personally, I would expect 50,000 units but wouldn't be surprised to see 100,000.



It's a shame that Popcorn's other release did not get as much loving as Ninjabread Man.

Anubis II review from IGN:

2.0 Presentation
No mention of the story in the game and a blatant, shameful rehash of a PS2 title
that came out two years ago. 1 point awarded for rumble in the menus.

1.5 Graphics
The famous mantra, "The Wii is capable of so much more" is moot, as the N64 puts this game to shame. Horrible textures, models, animations, and particle "effects".

1.5 Sound
Pathetic, sparse sound effects accompanied by a grossly out-of-place soundtrack. .5 awarded for the option to turn off the audio.

1.0 Gameplay
The tacked on Wii controls and poor combat will have you running through the levels, avoiding contact with enemies as much as possible.

1.5 Lasting Appeal
If by some means you're tied to a chair, eyes pried open Clockwork Orange style, and forced to endure all nine levels, there's a nifty time attack mode as a bonus for such a fine display of masochism.

2.0
Terrible OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)



Anubis II...well what did you expect from a game with a name like that?

Does anyone know why IGN hasn't reviewed Dewy's Adventure yet...sorry if off-topic...but Rol's comment about IGN not reviewing a bad game made me wonder.



How did Ninja Bread fair on the IGN review?

They haven't done one yet, I think we all should email them asking them to write one.

 Does make you wonder how horrid Anubis I must of been. =O

I think it's funny IGN still gives it a 2 instead of a falt out one. Guess those rumbling menus were a exceptional touch. XD 



I heard of this game whenever my EGM article came in and they had an article about the shovelware landing on the Wii. This game was mentioned, Chicken Shoot, and Escape from Bug Island.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
