That joke's as sharp a page of Oscar Wilde witticisms rolled up into a point, sprinkled with lemon juice and jabbed into someone's eye! It only gets funnier each time!
They don't play it so it's covered in dust....get it? Get it? Harharhar.
I thought the same about the DS and Chinatown Wars.
Scribblenauts is the only game of its kind. It's one of many examples.
Nov NPD:
"The Nintendo DS sales were the highest in history for a portable console in a November month."
"They're not the only ones who can legally purchase a M rated game but decide to download it instead. It happens and it does affect sales."
I smoked cigarettes daily as a teenager. It's easier to find someone over 18 while in middle or high school than to buy weed. You buy the game once, not daily like cigs. You can get adults at the gas station to buy them for you, think it's harder to have someone buy you a game? How many middle school kids have parents who take t...
At least RE5 had unintended racial insensitivity and consequent hilarity. My friend didn't believe me until he saw the zulu warriors...rofl, I love how that game inadvertently turned out.
"The game was fun, but it didnt fit the demographic of the DS. That cannot be argued."
All my hd console owning only friends have a DS. I PC gamed for years and have a wii, ps3, and DS. You can argue it all day.
My friends all have R4 cards too. Adults can warez.
You're partially correct but you mistake the DS demographic. My take is that most DS owners are bored of the same old video game being slightly updated and rereleased each year. ...
My friend is a 360 and pc gamer who owns a DS for those games and FPS. He loves touching to aim.
Did you just call Mario casual? What are you, 15?
Most people I knew played GTA as teenagers and quit when becoming adults.
Why is this in the wii section when the game is not coming out for wii?
Most people here don't realize that without motion controlled chainsaws, the game is final fight with stupider enemies, somehow repetitive even for a beat em up, 6 hours long, all black and white, and in 480i. I liked what little of the game there was until the mindless killing got boring. The soundtrack and announcers were the best part of the game.
I bought it used for 25 and traded it back in, 12 is exactly the price it's worth new (2 dollars per hour of gaming still doesn't...
"Also, this is the first generation where the best-selling console does not have a decent share of the most impressive games out there."
I own a wii, ps3, and gaming pc. I've gamed since NES. I own 43 wii games not counting wiiware. I own 4 ps3 games. It's a matter of taste. I like 2d games and FPS titles where I can actually aim using the controller. Hence the wii is where it's at for me.
Since you keep talking about core audience on 360 or ps3, note...
It's easily the best multiplayer game I've ever played - destroys LBP (I own both). Everyone who plays with me agrees, though they also love LBP. I'm big on FPS and own a PS3 yet this is by far my favorite game ever, barely beating SMG.
"you have to remember that there is nothing going for NMSB besides die hard attachment of the fanboys. FF13 has everything including hype going for it"
4 player Mario has nothing going for it?
NSMB DS sold 20 mil+. Find me any FF that compares.
Obviously NSMB wii won't sell as many consoles - everyone who loves nintendo games has a wii. The wii has such high market penetration that it doesn't need to.
FF is overwhelmi...
A quote from Riccitello in another article:
"He added, "I think the Wii is confounding to people because it's so darn big and successful. Even this year, what most people perceive as a down year, they're going to sell just in the Western markets somewhere in the mid-teens of millions of hardware units, which is a blow-away success for a console. And yet it's lower than they (and we) originally thought. But that's a little bit like saying they won the Super Bowl by a s...
No big game runs in 1080p tho, most actually run natively at less than 720p (halo, COD).
"Hell I love Nintendo but they dont half release some poor excuses for videogames! Apart from a predictable few gems (if that) then videogame enthusiasts have had very little to play single player or multiplayer wise.."
NSMBW
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Sin and Punishment 2
Punchout
Excitebike World Rally
Wii Sports Resort
That list is amazing. And it excludes GC ports of mario tennis and pikimin and animal crossing. GTFO out of th...
"Yes it's a (semi) solid console and is the home of some great games but most people (people who don't play videogames) were buying it for wii sports. While some of them i'm sure went out and bought other games, most didn't."
People who don't play video games bought a wii to play wii sports? Wow, direct contradiction in 1 sentence. I think most nintendo sales show they bought more games.
This site is filled with morons and teenagers, possibly paid trolls ...
"Madworld was such an awesome game , for any console , and it wouldn't sell...[about mario] I expect something much better for 50$ on a console"
Madworld was 6 hours long. New Mario has me clocked at 28 hours. For 50 dollars I expect something much better than a repetitive beat em up that lasts 6 hours.
Mario is casual? You must suck at the game to believe that.
"Unless third party mature titles start making money , I have a hard time i...
"I own a PS3 and I got plat trophy on Demon's Souls and I tell you that this game is hell easier then to win 100% of this Mario Wii !!"
Mario is why I stopped playing demon's souls ng+ and yeah, you can't compare them. Demon's souls is easy if you're just cautious. Mario is absurd.
"Luckily im kinda good at these platformers, but sometimes i really wonder how someone else would do it."
Have you tried world nine, stage 7? I can't b...
Saaking - from our beloved ps3 section:
"We made the call that PS3 was going to be bigger than the Wii, and we allocated resources accordingly. We got that wrong, and that put us in a position where we probably under invested in our intellectual property and some of it went into a kind of wane period. What makes this all the harder, and harder on investors, is that we have to come, if you will, from a bit of weakness to rebuild our core and drive transition. So I get the ske...
