Look, from all games showed at first post, i gotta be honest: i want em all
However, which ones should be considered AAA releases?
The kind of AAA releases that really gets some marketing effort from the publishers? The kind of AAA releases that, if the game dosent sell, the publisher can REALLY blame it on the wii?
My guess is that only Red Steel 2 could be considered a triple A release. It really does look great. Check the video at http://redsteelgame.uk.ubi.com/red-steel-2/ This video is some months old now, but i missed the when it came out. Gotta tell you: looks amazing
- Better graphics than most wii games check - new technology/popular peripheral support check - universal appeal themes (first person? Guns? Swords? Do you know anybody that dosen like that?) check - deep, well made, fun game pending - incisive marketing campaign pending
I really want these two last points to be checked too. Cause if they do we can REALLY give all this charade an answer: could 3rd parties really sell on the wii? |
I would call Monster Hunter 3 a 'AAA' release and an argument could be made for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom due to the effort Capcom is putting into that game.
But who the hell cares about 'AAA' games as long as you like the games that are releasing?
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
