I have to ask, why do you get so worked up about these kinds of games? I mean, my typical response to seeing a game (or tv show or book or whatever) that I'm not interested in is total apathy. I just move along with my day. Why so much righteous rage when in comes to casual games?

Side note: I actually love to watch Antiques Roadshow. If this game consisted of buying some random thing somewhere, storing it in your basement for 80 years, forgetting about it, dying and having one of your heirs cash it in, and all this played out in real time, I would be totally interested.

Because ghetto games stink and shouldn't have money wasted on them? XD

Because they could have brought over a lot of better games from Japan or encouraged the growth of new IP's domestically.

How is this game even going to break even?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Let's see.

1. It's for the Wii, which has a large base of 40+ women.
2. Other people will get it as a joke.

If I ever see it in the bargain bin, I may get it just because I think it's one of those games that will end up being rare. Plus who doesn't like Antiques Roadshow? :mrgreen:

I did, but for something like that, I expected the Wii; I just didn't read that closely.

Well...I'm stumped then. Namco has made itself the least likely game to sell ever. Probably. I'd be surprised if it sold over 2,000 units.

Maybe a backwards ass way of redeeming the sales of 'Death by Degrees'?
