So...are they going to change the face buttons on the controller to square, triangle, circle, and X? You know, so it will match the rest of the dual shock ensemble.
You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

Yes. A Kamek controller would be amazing.

Mario Kart Wii? No focus on motions controls + online is a big feature of the game. It already has 1 million in the bag. I could easily see another million spread out between North America and Others. |
Maybe you meant SSBB or something else. As was pointed out, Mario Kart Wii does focus on motion controls. Either way, his point was not valid.

I do think there's a chance that this will be a break out hit and maybe sell a couple million in the west, but honestly I don't think this really has the ingredients of a big hit. I think it's possible only because it may have good enough arcade combat, and maybe the online being free will make it what it wasn't to Japanese gamers (Japanese gamers being more handheld oriented these days). But a focus on local multiplayer and great motion controls would be more what the expanded audience is looking for.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

One million to me indicates strong sales in Japan.
The game doesn't need to appeal specifically towards the expanded audience to sell another million outside of Japan.
The most pertinent thing to me is the strong backing this game has from Nintendo.

Of course it's strong sales, but it was also extremely front loaded, indicating that it didn't quite live up to the hype. If more people were satisfied by it and spreading their enthusiasm we'd see a longer tail.
Punch Out! was also heavily pushed by Nintendo the same time last year, but that didn't manage great numbers.

I might grab one of those bundles. The normal CC works great as a SNES pad, but when I try to use the thumbsticks I really start wishing for some grips.

Umm... I wouldn't call 560k first week (beginning August 2009) and then going on to sell 1 million as "extremely front loaded". 5 months later and it's still selling regularly around 3k per week, which is more than most games in Japan do after a few weeks.
