Why does this matter? They publish these games, Wario Land isn't developed by a internal team too, is this game now bad because of this?Spiegel said:

I'm assuming that's some kind of musou spinoff, but whats so funny? Are the sales bad or good here.rykomatsu said:

Its one of those adult visual novel from PC ported to PS2 without the adult stuff I guess. There's also an anime and a manga. Its not Koei's Musou but its based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel.BishopLamont said:

And why should I ignore the other games :-?Spiegel said:
I can't play them now, right?
They are bad because of this, right?
And you've edited your post @ "Like I said".

I think Wii Music and to an extent AC failing to catch on early, has a bigger impact on Wii sales more then a lack of third party titles does. If not Wii sales would have diminished a long time ago. It still hurts though that not even one third party can cough up a decent title for this holiday.

Nintendo still needs to invest money, they could publish more "Brain Training" - Games, but they publish > 15 other games.Spiegel said:The games aren't bad (usually) but you can see the focus of the company better with the games internally developed by Nintendo
And I edited before you posted. So yeah, like i said after the edit
And it should be clear that Nintendo hasn't infinite internal resources, outsourcing is normal.

I'm curious as to why people keep saying this. Yes, they're probably going to sell less hardware (and software) than last year, but I don't think they're going to be hurting - especially given the assured high software and hardware sales in Europe and in NA.
Not to mention, Nintendo's "poor" sales still wil be better than those of Sony and MS...

It's not bad, just failing to drive much hardware sales.d+pad said:

Wait wut? but you said pretty females! I had to google to find out what you really meant (capped, aussie internet connections).

That's what I figured. Huang Zhong was a pretty old guy in the novel and she definitely looks at least 25.
Plus she has a bow.
I'm guessing Liu Bei is one of the toddlers. Dude is constantly on the verge of tears so I'm leaning towards the one who definitely looks like she's about to cry.

360 is selling better, but PS3 is actually selling worse.
Most of the major HD franchises have already come out.
And Wii has 3 big 3rd party games for 2009 already- Tales, Samurai Warriors 3, and of course Monster Hunter 3. Those should be bigger than any 3rd party game released yet, with the possible exception of DQ:Swords.
I'd also add that if 3rd parties don't shift to the Wii, they are far more likely to go handheld than HD.

The Autumn Wind
Tales as a power franchise's days are long since past. Namco overused the brand and I don't see it moving systems, especially with a Tales game already out for the Wii. Samurai Warriors 3 is a tossup. There's a ton of these on the market as well. It's not like consumers can't get a similar (and probably better) experience elsewhere. It could sell ok. I'm thinking around 100k. MH3 will be big, yes. That's one of the exceptions. Of course, we've known about it forever now, so it's nothing new.
Link said:
That's only half the argument though. Let's say Wii sales have basically normalized around 35k, well, PS3/360 sales have basically normalized around 15-17k. Why should the Wii's sales go down, or ultimately the PS3's/360's sales go UP to tha level? (not that I agree with your conclusions but lets hear the other half of your position)
Link said:
1- Obviously Tales has lost some of its luster, but a mainline game should still do pretty well. If ToS:KoR can do over 200K I imagine a "real' entry can do well.
2- Samurai Warriors..It might not do as well as the PS2 games, but they did about 1M and 550K respectively..I really really doubt it falls to 100K :lol :lol
3- And no, Monster Hunter isn't new..but it's certainly going to be huge and the best shot yet at capturing the PS2/DS/PSP audience.
Link said:
Err...why do you think 3rd parties still are? What huge 3rd party Japan-centric games have been announced for HD consoles lately?
If you want to argue that the Wii is going to start falling because of handhelds then that might be a bit more reasonable, but as far as HD goes I see no evidence it's going to make a comeback.

Yeah, it's over for Wii in Japan. In December I'm only buying Klonoa next week, then DK:Jungle Beat and Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, and then only Karaoke Joysound and Let's Tap the week after that. Sucks to be a Wii owner in Japan. I guess I could also pick up Pikmin and Fragile and FF:Echoes of time to get me through January.
