Wario Land Shake It is FAR from "low quality" if that's what you're implying. You may not enjoy it, but that doesn't mean it's of low quality. I don't like certain games, like the lame "Tales of" series, but I'm not going to say "Oh, it's low quality because I don't like it".
The only reason I can think of that WL: Shake It didn't sell well was because there really was no marketing- besides that neat Youtube video where Wario destroyed the whole webpage. Poor marketing leads to poor sales. Not poor reviews leads to poor sales.
I don't get the point in feeling sorry for lower quality games just because they're creative. Brings me back to that whole High Voltage discussion. Games don't deserve to sell well just because they're creative or something different.
There's a difference between The Conduit and Wario Land Shake It!. The Conduit is a generic first person shooter trying to be something it's not. Wario Land Shake It! is a platformer that executes almost every aspect of the genre flawlessly.
Then again, I'm sure you've never played it so... you wouldn't know.
I hate when I have to explain how words work. Like when comparing the two Mario Galaxy games, one is lower quality.
I have played Wario Land and that doesn't change anything. Wario Land was not received as well critically as Mario Bros. So I'm not sure why people think it should sell more. I don't believe anyone owes the developers of lesser quality games just because they're more 'creative' than a higher quality game.
"B-b-but guys stupid game journalists liked this game more than this game, that's important for some reason!"
also some advice. A decent way to not be easily mocked is to have a sense of humor and be aware that what you are saying isn't the most flawless idea ever said by man. Just saying.
"I love going on message boards and complaining about games I've never played!"
that's what I'm getting, obvious bit of backpedaling aside
How am I complaining by saying Mario Bros. deserved to sell more units? And how am I backpedaling by sticking with the same thing I said originally? lol
I may have to explain how a few other things work as well...
Nintendo is not "lazy." They know for a fact that the first two games sold millions for their respective systems. Releasing more will sell more systems and make them more money. Nintendo is in a little bit of trouble with money if you didn't know. It's a smart business move.
And it's not like the New Super Mario Bros. games are bad. Both of the past games have scored high with the critics. Sure Wario Land is more creative, but Mario is the face of video games so what do you expect?
Holy crap not only did I have to track down all the cords, I also have to reconfigure my internet settings. The things I do for you people.
And I don't care how everyone personally feels towards Wario Land. If you say, objectively, it should have sold more because of its quality you have to back that up with something other than your personal opinion.
There is someone out there that believes The Conduit is the best game ever and should have sold 500 million units. I'm supposed to agree with him when the game is received poorly by the large majority of critics?

Amen brother. Ironically I'm standing up for Mario yet still labeled a hater. lol
Even when I'm defending Nintendo's largest franchise I am accused of hating Nintendo games.
I kid I kid, but really. Have you even completed the game? Let alone complete all of the objectives? Ah, Who am i kidding, that's a task only the 'Chuck Norris' of gamers can pull off)
No I haven't and I don't think that matters when I haven't even given my personal opinion of the game.. lol
The only reason I'm even going through all this effort to upload a pic is just to prove Chrono wrong. lol
