Another textbook example of Wii 3rd Party Publishing 101.

I haven't seen a single commercial.

Matt gave it a 7.5, it sounds like a solid title all around. Maybe not groundbreaking but good, which is more then I expected given the push to release it earlier then planned.

Well, it was either now or face getting buried in the cavalcade of the Fall/Holiday line-up.

So people see it in stock, which means people aren't buying it.

What a horrible gamer audience, only supports kiddie character adventures, plastic wheels, and minigames.

Probably doesn't help that this game got no publicity, hardly any reviews out there, and the ones that are out are mixed.

Indeed. This game looks to me like a substantially less-compelling cousin of Fatal Frame, which means I'll probably play it when I run out of Fatal Frame games to play but not before. It just doesn't look like a stellar effort, and neither what little publicity this game got nor it's spectacularly average reviews convince me otherwise. No thanks, I'll save my money for the real deal in a couple months when Silent Hill: Shattered Memories comes out.

I may just rent it. It sounds like a solid game, just nothing special.

Eh, I see Wii Sports Resort in stock, too.

Wii has always had trouble in Germania.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #158 on:** August 28, 2009, 07:21:09 PM »

So has anybody picked up the game? I would like to know what you guys think.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #159 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:54:50 PM »

After I come back from paintballing tomorrow.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #160 on:** August 29, 2009, 03:01:45 AM »

My guess is that Pro will think it is the bestest game in the universe.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #161 on:** August 29, 2009, 03:07:47 AM »

Guess harder. I'm already predicting it's more interesting than Super Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion.

what kind of marker do you use Pro?

The Wii dominates much more here than in other areas.

Ahhh, Fatal Frame Wii...*sigh*

A friend of mine let me borrow his copy. I've only just begun, but so far it's not bad. Graphically it's not going to win any awards, but isn't that true of about 90% of Wii titles? The audio is cool and the environments are, at least thus far, pretty creepy. The controls are odd. It's kind of a like RE4 with the camera and control. 'A' examines things, 'B' swings your weapon, 'C' turns on your third eye vision (think MP visor), 'Z' runs, and 'down' on the dpad enters first person view. There is no strafing, quick turn, or pointer controls. Well, you use the pointer a little bit in the third eye vision mode, but for the most part you don't need the Wii Remote pointed at the screen.

I'll post more as I play.

Wii software seems to have trouble in Germania. Every so often you describe stores as if you'll be buried in an avalanche of pricey un-bought games.

Tippmann A-5 with MP5 fake suppressor, MP5 magazine, MP5 sliding stock, low profile hopper, 3 point sling, and remote coil to a 20 oz. tank. Man it's heavy, but MILSIM is the only way i'll play.

We're the logistics center of Europe, no wonder we can keep stores stocked

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #170 on:** August 30, 2009, 03:39:21 PM »

No way? Wow.

I DON'T THINK YOU'VE EVER EXPLAINED THAT BEFORE, causing the rest of us to come to wild conclusions.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #171 on:** August 30, 2009, 08:42:54 PM »

It turns out I never pre-ordered the game, so my GameStop didn't ever stock it.

Stupid Wii audience.

>=O

Kairon · « **Reply #172 on:** August 30, 2009, 09:55:11 PM »

My indie store didn't get a copy in I think, and that's my bad again... because I didn't pre-order it... T_T

So I asked them to order me a copy, and maybe I can be part of the solution (restock) instead of part of the problem (small launch orders).

KDR_11k · « **Reply #173 on:** August 31, 2009, 02:01:59 AM »

Blame the stores for relying so much on preorders.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #174 on:** August 31, 2009, 05:20:30 PM »

Apparently there's a store in the next town that's holding a copy for me. Apparently I will pickup this copy after work.
