It would take too long and cost too much to get this game over to the states. And you know what else? It won't sell near enough to make up for those costs.
The Metroid Prime series is great, Hunters excluded, but what we've learned from Metroid Prime 3 is that if anything, the series needs to be freshened up. If you compare the first time you played Metroid Prime to the first time you played Metroid Prime 3, it's no contest as to which had a better effect. The 3-D Metroids need to be spiced up now.
I want to see new franchises.
Or maybe a new traditional Donkey Kong side-scroller.
this is about as funny as cancer in a box.
I hate the people that approved this. This is just badjoystick material.
say hello to killzone 1
No, I know, FPSes are unpopular in Japan, so Killzone 2 is actually doing fairly well there. Yes, I know this. But uhh, I don't think 5 year-old EXACT ports are that popular either, and that sold better. Stop with the double-standards.
I thought so too, but I think that part was intentional, and you're supposed to perform certain movements with the wiimote while it's frozen like that.
For a 5 year old port, 132,000 sales in the first week is not bad...
I love how Killzone's 40k sales is fantastic news, but a 5 year old port's 130,000 sales is awful. Because it's on the Wii.
-sigh-
oh god
He looked like an idiot flailing that thing around.
Any interest I've had in this game is now dead.
Trailer looks nice. I'm a bit worried of the idea of swinging the wiimote to jump though. This is a platformer... it should just be a button.
Fantastic. Just take a year-off now to make a good multiplayer system and watch the sales quadruple.
Yes, it's quite surprising that a port of a 5 year old game didn't help its sales. Incredible. I'm completely flabbergasted.
If by "hardcore gamer" you mean that they seem to only play sports games, racing games, or games with blood and shootan and good graphics, and probably only started playing video games this generation, then yes, you're right.
VaeVictus: It has more good exclusives than the 360, anyways. What have you learned about judging a book by its cover? You can't just walk down an aisle and look at some box covers. You'll get the wrong idea. Go to metacritic and check out the games with good ratings, read up a bit about them, and then I'm sure you'll find out that "de Blob" isn't as casual and bad as you once thought.

But... but... that's impossible! Because uh... HD Remix has better graphics than the original! so THEREFORE it is better! Duh.

I agree with you, peeps. And that's just sad.
But then you also have the people who own the Wii, and say that they don't have any games for it besides a couple of first party games -- as if it's Nintendo's fault, or something. And these are the people that ignore/will ignore games like de Blob, Mercury Meltdown Revolution, Geometry Wars: Galaxies, Zack and Wiki, Blast Works, Boom Blox, Little King's Story, etc., etc. Many of these games can be considered hardcore games.
"It comes across more like a bare boned port of an action title, with weak controls, bland and unimpressive visuals, and significant frame rate issues in both the single and multiplayer versions of the game."
"The slowdown and overall visual fuzziness leave it looking unattractive and barren compared to the Xbox 360 version"
"Capcom has created a PS3 version of Lost Planet that includes extraordinarily limited bonus content and which doesn't ...
And paid downloadable content days after their games are released!
wait what
OH GOD
