  1. Oh noes, a business which has the aim of selling opinions, sold an opinion you don't like. It really is quite pathetic 0_o.
  2. Nintendo Business/Sales Discussion

    Doesn't bother me, it's gonna have the best games for me whether they sell more systems or not. Also at the Giutar Hero vs Rock Band thing, wasn't Rock Band 2 like staggered releases because Microsoft paid for timed-exlucisve? I'm sure EA made plenty of money off of giving Microsoft an advantage.
  3. I love it when hard working people are fired from their jobs unjustly, just cause they disagree with my opinions.
  4. Wii General Discussion

    It should clear be on DS. That game is meant to be a handheld game...
  5. Nintendo Business/Sales Discussion

    Sony have had alot of 'problems' with management of late. The Strong Yen has hit them hardest, most of their manufacturing is in Japan, so when the Yen is high, obviously they're going to lose out. Hell, I think pretty much every company in Japan is reporting losses this year, except Nintendo. Then the recession has destroyed their position as the high-end of the electronics market. Sony's problem is they didn't have a back-up plan for if people literally couldn't afford high-end products, and now they're in the shit. And to be honest, at the moment, not selling the PS3 is probably the best thing for Sony :P.
  6. Fragile Dreams

    16k is pretty bad, looking at 50k life MAXIMUM and that's being very generous. I always wonder how a company like Namco will take it. Will they feel they HAVE to port it to stand a chance at recouping costs, or just write it off as a flop and get rid of it from their memory for good. It does surprise me though, third parties just can't sell software on the console in Japan, unless its from Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest. Not sure if Fragile was ever the type of game to sell big though :/.
  7. What are Wii's killer titles for 2009?

    It's got lots of games, not sure if there are any really huge epic awesome stand out games yet. Mad World could be just that though, has the potential no doubt. But yeah, lists have pretty much covered it.
  8. Fragile Dreams

    It sold 16k first day in Japan. And although you really couldn't have expected much higher... you can't help but say ouch.
  9. Wii General Discussion

    Bioshock says hi... and Half life 2. And Halo 1 :/. And lots more, er yeah. Red Steel was a good game with horrible horrible flaws.
  10. Wii General Discussion

    I was bored of Red Steel by the point I got to the slow motion bit. Saying that, I had Twilight Princess unwrapped waiting for me to play it, so I guess once I started that Red Steel was an after thought. Red Steel 2 is interesting, it was in developement hell for Ubisoft for a while. I think they're banking on the success of the first too much with the sequel probably over-estimating how much appeal the second has, but if they can get good reviews it should be okay. Will be interesinting to see something non casual from Ubisoft though.
  11. Nintendo Business/Sales Discussion

    While SCE's terrible management of the gaming division hasn't help the real problem is the global recession combined with the stupidly strong Yen. That's going to hurt any company, even Toyota are posting a loss I think. Sony have been heading to problems anyway but it was never going to hit them that hard unless it was extreme circumstances, like it is now lol.
  12. I sort of enjoyed it, but for a show type thing like this it was just meh. Why was it like, HEY IM GONNA INVITE ALL MY FRIENDS OVER AND TALK ABOUT GAMES. Just seemed unprofessional, but still, there is still a lack of these gaming discussion things so I may follow it for a bit. Invisible Walls wins for now though.
  13. Games of 2009

    Chances are they've played COD5 at some media events or something. But yeah, the list was meh. Bayonetta 5th? yikes. Need more Brutal LEgend, and Prototype, and InFamous, and Tekken 6.... and lots lots more.
  14. Countdowns!

    http://www.joystiq.com/2009/01/21/poles-big-adventure-segas-countdown-to-reveal-8-bit-wiiware-t/ DUN DUN DEEEEER. Looks er weird, not the sort of 8-bit resurrection I'm into though. Is cheap though so may check it out.
  15. Nintendo Business/Sales Discussion

    Depends how much Microsoft paid for it's exclusivity... Wow, 3 third party Wii games in the top 100 0_o.
  16. The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf (360/PS3)

    Provided they don't put this in the Christmas Glut of games I'll be sure to be an early adopter then. Would be great to have something like this over summer or in the early weeks back at uni, I'll get it one way or another. Sounds interesting anyway, another game for the list.
  17. MadWorld

    Well obviously, I literally said it in what you quoted.
  18. MadWorld

    In the press it's generally 'accepted' to be as positive as possible with a preview, normally falling back on the old if you don't like this, it should be fixed by release. It's hard to find a negative preview, and in my experience the ones the devs care most about are the ones which state possible niggles or problems. But yeah, I've never thought this game would be a repetitive motion-waggler or anything. Quite looking forward to it .
  19. MadWorld

    But you don't know how long it will take until it gets boring, until you've played it that long. You can 'guess' it might not get boring but you don't know. I just don't think the media is in a position to make these promises of longetivity after short plays. And I don't think SEGA have sent out any preview builds as my site hasn't received any yet and we normally get most of SEGA's preview stuff. Might be different in the States though.
  20. MadWorld

    Those previews make me laugh. one literally said "We only played it for 5 minutes, but it won't get repetitive after playing it for an hour!". Not slating into Mad World or anything but that's just a laughable contradiction. You can't tell from 5 minutes how long until it gets boring. But yeah, aside from laughing at stupid journalists, it's getting alot of media hype and it's all been very posititve. Not long until the final verdict now, is there much coming out to compete with it? :/.
  21. Killzone 2

    Not a clue if any of you are interested but the site I work on has a tournament thingy going on with the winners playing the developers. I'll copy and paste the N4G article...mmm: http://www.n4g.com/gaming/NewsCom-263040.aspx?CT=1#Comments
  22. MadWorld

    All games on the Aussie rating board are multiplat, even MArio Kart and Mario Strikers lol.
  23. The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf (360/PS3)

    I'm definitely getting this for PS3. Absolutely no idea what it is or how it plays but I've been pretty hooked on WRPG's lately, think it's due to the lack of JRPGs lol.
  24. Nintendo Business/Sales Discussion

    To me it shows that third parties need recogniseable brands on the Wii - Sonic, Resdient Evil, Star Wars, High School Musical, Sims etc. They're all household names, and it would appear that most the Wii userbase will only buy what it can recognise. Advertising is important but if you're going to advertise a game like Nintendo do a million sales isn't really a good return for the risk you're putting in, and it seems most third parties will struggle to go beyond that. Equally if it allows you to make a recogniseable brand but not get strong profits initially then it's worth it - See what EA are doing with the MySims brand. I'm eagerly anticipating to see how the major publishers will tackle the Wii in the upcoming years, from what I've seen the best approach for the big publishers is get a strong brand and then milk it for all it's worth. Sonic says hi.
  25. Nintendo Business/Sales Discussion

    He got them off of VGChartz if you go to the million sellers list for the 'world'. The list is a sorry sight for third parties lol. Albeit it does hold some hope.
