That's unfortunate. You're missing out AU Wii owners.
Pixel Art can be fun.

It's only going to be available at one retailer. I guess Australia's Wii owners aren't ponying up much.
| superchunk said: well, if Nintendo would have made a real ExciteTruck 2 with full online like MK, Wii Speak, and what not it would have sold far better (I would have bought it). But, Excitebots is just too meh in appearance for most to give it a chance. |
What's wrong with Bots' online? I've not heard any complaints about that before.
Plus, you really should give Bots a chance. It's not mediocre, it's wacky.
Well, as long as Nintendo keeps on releasing games without any info or media push and without any ads, they will keep on bombing and only appearing at 1 region, the one where they bomb.
We know Excitebots bombed abominably, and that it was Nintendo's fault for not even making a short TV ad, while on the other hand they keep on advertising Mario Kart, Wii Fit, etc.
Nintendo products are becoming niche, mainly because no one knows about them. I fear this might make Nintendo focus only on their most important franchises while the rest disappears. Hopefully Star Fox, Donkey Kong, Pikmin, F-Zero, Kid Icarus and all those new IP's from the October conference will make it someday to the USA, but all points at the new IP's never coming and those old classic IP's being finally killed in favor of more Mario, Metroid, Zelda and Wii series. I'm a bit sad now.

Bets with Conegamer:
Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
Damn, I was really hoping I could import it from Australia. Guess I've got to give up on a PAL release then...

To be honest, what pisses me off alot is that games like Mario Kart DS still have commercials.
I approve of announcing games late into their development cycles or even when they're done but this is just awful.

I didn't want wacky. I wanted Excite Trucks, faster, larger, more types of trucks, more ways to get starts without minigames, and for the love of God why the fuck even make a game multiplayer if you don't add Wii Speak. That's just stupid.
