I was considering buying the PS3 version but since it doesn't have Move support and we all know that Nunchuck+pointer is the best configuration for FPS I'll be getting the Wii version.
Still, you never know how buyers will react during black friday-christmas in the US and for the holidays during the last two months of the year so Other M could do 1 million worldwide before december is out.
Bad reviews and all around "journalistic" hate really hurt the sales in the end. I got my copy so at first I don't care what the press has to say BUT low sales BECAUSE of idiotic reviews means we might not get a sequel this gen.
Again, since no one read it, the game could have also failed because the manual wasn't properly translated to spanish and french using the official terms. It's happened to me before.
Great news if true since I had a blast with the first one. My brother in law, two cousins of his and I spent a full day playing this game over and over again for hours.
Well, there are many reasons a game can fail the Approval Process, the simplest of which might have to do with the instructions manual not being properly translated into spanish and french.
Portable Tower Defense games are always great for me and this looks to be a very fun and fast release in the genre. Still waiting for a price point but it will probably be 500 considering their past couple of releases.
The Super Guide is there so everyone can enjoy the game and so they don't become frustrated if they die over and over again in the game. If you're good at it you will never see the Super Guide so, why all the hate?
@HugoSmiths: You should really consider creating a little extra content for those of us that bought Flipper on DSiware as was the case with those of us that bought Mighty Flip Champs and then Shantae from WayForward.
The trailers in the 3DS shop are great and a demo here and there can save you a lot of money. Still, we're months away from launch and I'm waiting on the specifics on how to migrate my DSi account over to my 3DS (my guess is that I'll do it by linking my Club Nintendo account).
Hello 70 coins for only $29.99! December will be a happy month. Even if you have all the games in their original cartridges (as I do) or in the VC (as I do as well) this is worth $30 just for the packaging, soundtrack and 32 page booklet.
Well, I have enough for all 4 pins so I might get one but I'm seriously considering getting the Game and Watch games as well. Good thing I have 1300 coins.
See, this is the type of game that sells a system. IF this was ready for the 3DS launch over here I would have no choice but to sell a kidney to buy the console and the game.
I'll be replaying REsident Evil and Zero on my Wii between now and the end of the year. The Remake felt like and entirely new game and I've played the original, Director's Cut and DS versions as well.
Shantae is waiting for me to finish another 3 DSiware games so I can dive into it non-stop. Did buy MFC at launch so I'm looking forward to the extra content we'll get.
Well, Tower Defense games all have that in common: Every single level is pretty much the same with some changes here and there (new units, floors, enemies, spells, weapons, etc.). I love them so I'll be buying this once it's available in the US.

Re: Price Slashing Helps Sonic Colours Jump to UK Top 20
Damn, that's some serious price slashing. Do they even make a profit like that?

Re: Fluidity Flows to North America on December 6th
Well worth the 1,200 from that trailer.

Re: If Donkey Kong Country Returns is Too Hard, Use Super Guide

Re: Nintendo Download: 8th November 2010 (North America)
Well, the 300 point reduction for the game IS great since I was going to buy it for 1,500 but at 1,200 it's an even better deal for me.
Re: Digital Leisure's Mix Superstar Decks WiiWare on Monday
Well, 500 points is nice and if the extra loops are 100-200 at most it will sure be a fun diversion.
Re: Review: Paul's Shooting Adventure (DSiWare)
Well, for $2 I'll download it next week. Love me some short DSiware games since sometimes all you have is 5-10 to play.
Re: Frontier Preparing to Blow You Away With More LostWinds
Maybe well get part 3 before June 2011 is over.
Re: Review: Go! Go! Island Rescue! (DSiWare)
Go figure. Didn't expect the game to be good after seeing some screens for it but now I'll be sure to give it a go.
Re: Review: Fester's Quest (NES)
Wow, a 1? I enjoyed this game back in the day since it has a certain Blaster Master overhead levels sorta vibe to it. I would give it a 5-6.
Re: Exclusive: Flipper 2 Announced!
@HugoSmiths: You should really consider creating a little extra content for those of us that bought Flipper on DSiware as was the case with those of us that bought Mighty Flip Champs and then Shantae from WayForward.

Re: Review: Spot the Difference (DSiWare)
Well, 160 levels for $5 can't be THAT bad.
Re: Review: BIT.TRIP FATE (WiiWare)
Still stuck on the last level on Bit.Trip.Bit so until I finish that I won't be getting the next game in the series and so on.
Re: Review: Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow (DS)
That bad? I figured it would get a 7 tops but a 5 just got me thinking if I should just skip it.
Re: Red Wii and DSi XL Coming Stateside on November 7th
So, no hacked SMB for the red Wii over here?
Re: Mario Anniversary Screensaver and Pins Arrive at Club Nintendo
Well, I have enough for all 4 pins so I might get one but I'm seriously considering getting the Game and Watch games as well. Good thing I have 1300 coins.
Re: Review: Music On: Playing Piano (DSiWare)
Well, for 200 points and 15 songs it's a nice tap-tap diversion.

Re: Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary
Mmm, an NES game I want and down own either in physical release or the VC? Will have to think about one. I'm sure to have missed a game or two.
Re: Walmart Leaks Red DSi XL Package for America
And the red Wii is to be announced in a week or two tops to be available on Black Friday.
Re: Review: Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii)
Hope the game gets spectacular sales. Love me some platforming and I'll get it by the end of the year.
Re: Cave Story Update Now Available
And now I'll download the update and get to play the game. Did my part by supporting it at launch so I'm glad they finally made good on their promise.
Re: Review: Resident Evil (GameCube)
I'll be replaying REsident Evil and Zero on my Wii between now and the end of the year. The Remake felt like and entirely new game and I've played the original, Director's Cut and DS versions as well.
Re: Japanese 3DS Surveys Reveal Awareness Low, Price Too High
Considering all the tech packed into the 3DS the price is just right. 3D glasses by themselves are $99+.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light (DS)
I also need the points for my SE account. Maybe this year I'll make it to gold...
Re: Review: Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light (DS)
Well, added to the list. My end of year bonus better be big enough for all the games...
Re: Harvest Moon and Little King's Story Creators Join Grasshopper
Looking forward to what they'll cook up. Little King's Story deserves a sequel and the 3DS is just screaming for one.
Re: Shantae Soundtrack Doing Great, Thanks to You
I'll be getting Shantae in a month or so since I have other games to take care of at the moment. But it WILL be part of my collection.
Re: Piracy Not to Blame for Poor Software Sales, Says Iwata
As for shadowSniper7's challenge, I have 14 of the games pictured.
Re: Piracy Not to Blame for Poor Software Sales, Says Iwata
Well, piracy does bring down overall sales for games but great games end up selling a lot of copies in the end to sorta offset this.
Re: Review: Shantae: Risky's Revenge (DSiWare)
So, what are the extras you get if you've bought Mighty Flip Champs?
Re: Interviews: WayForward - Shantae: Risky's Revenge
Shantae is waiting for me to finish another 3 DSiware games so I can dive into it non-stop. Did buy MFC at launch so I'm looking forward to the extra content we'll get.
Re: Review: Gods vs. Humans (WiiWare)
Well, Tower Defense games all have that in common: Every single level is pretty much the same with some changes here and there (new units, floors, enemies, spells, weapons, etc.). I love them so I'll be buying this once it's available in the US.
Re: Sega Strikes Poor Sonic Games from Catalogue to "Increase Brand Value"
Black Knight was not that bad. Not as bad as Werewolf Sonic at least.
