While I too question Wii Sports' sales loophole, Halo 3 wasn't exactly bundled with the console for the console's entire lifespan, so that's not exactly a good example.
Final Fantasy IX had a max of four people in the party.
I own it on disc as well; as convenient as it would be to have it on the hard drive I think I'll just not be lazy and use the discs when I get the urge to play this gem.
It's $11.90 on Amazon right now, for anyone interested. I know some people like their hard copies, rather than digital only.
I've done my best to support the struggling developers on the Wii (Bought NMH1, NMH2, Rune Factory, Madworld and Little King's Story) but unfortunetly I am one of the few. Marvelous, Suda, and XSeed make some brilliant games but they are constantly overlooked.
It's disheartening to see games like Madden or Guitar Hero sell millions and the developers that work their asses off get the shaft. Doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon.

THIS should be top news today, not the typical garbage flamebait articles. Ape Escape on PS1 was amazing; this is the best news I've heard this week.
While I would agree with that theory, it hasn't exactly worked for the FF7 Remake.
I wish I hadn't already bought (and beat) it! I love saving money on games, it's too necessary when so many great games are being released at once.
I actually powered through 3D Dot in about 4 days. That's the fastest I've beat a game in ages. I even took the time to best every boss and fill the beastiary!
Red Dead got my money. I passed on Alan Wake because I am just borrowing it from a friend (And he is borrowing Red Dead).
Hope this turns out good for MS eventually, but for now it seems like Alan Wake is gonna be a poor sell.
I hope not. Saturn didn't exactly turn out too well for Sega.
Ever heard of 3D Dot Game Heroes? Last I checked, it didn't get bashed for it's storyline.
You know IGN has only ever given 5 console games a perfect score, right?
Ocarina of Time, SoulCalibur, Grand Theft Auto 4, Metal Gear Solid 4, and now Super Mario Galaxy 2.
You're right, it isn't often that they give out a 10.
You do know they gave Metal Gear Solid 4 a perfect score right? And Killzone 2 a 9.4? Are you saying those are crappy scores, or crappy games?
No, the true gamers who buy it because it's a refreshing change from this generation of shooters.
I pre-ordered my copy a month ago and am most certainly glad I did. I thought that 2010's previous months couldn't be topped, but 3D Dot, RDR, and Super Mario Galaxy 2 did it.
I'm not sure why anyone would want Starcraft 64 brought back. I've played it, and it's not god awful, but the controls are pretty poor. I'll take my Starcraft II, thanks.
That's my favorite 2d platformer! I have the Gameboy Advance version, but I'd rather play it on a TV even if that means I lose the bonus levels.
I don't understand why it's not up yet. Kirby Super Star being ported gives me hope, because there is an updated DS port of that. So clearly, they aren't worried about losing portable sales.
I hated Mario Party 4. The Mega / Mini stuff was a very pointless addition.
Mario Party 3 was, in my opinion, best in the series. The Casino was a lot of fun and the 1v1 sidegame was actually entertaining, which you can't say about any of 4-8's alternate modes.
Most of Rare's titles are extremely underrated. Some of their outings are failures. It's the same with any company (See Free Radical or Factor 5 for two very obvious examples).
Rare didn't show anything last year. They will show something this year, it's pretty much guaranteed. Whether or not it's good remains to be seen.
A Jet Force Gemini Arcade remake and sequel would satisfy me.
Lots of Sony exclusives it seems. Would have preferred a few more surprises, like Team Fortress 3 or a new Star Fox.
Hell, this list might actually happen! Except L4D3. I don't think Valve is that retarded.
Grand Theft Auto 4... Fallout 3... Far Cry 2?
Erm, what? Far Cry 2 was good but nothing spectacular.
I for one am glad it got a mediocre score. I have too many games to play as is, don't need a reason to buy another.
Will wait for sub-$20.
