just a good business move is all you can really say about that do i even have to look at whats coming out next year to know
But it's possible that one of the reasons Lost Planet did so well was because it was released at a time when there were no other major releases. It was released around January 2007, and the only thing it had to compete with at the time was WarioWare: Smooth Moves, which was on a different system altogether. I'd wager that if Lost Planet was released around the same time as some other big-name games, it would not have done as well.CantFaketheFunk said:

I think it has a pretty good chance to succeed. From what I've seen of the game, there doesn't appear to be any cultural barriers that might prevent it from being a mega-success, as is the case with other popular Japanese games like Dragon Quest. Also, I've heard Nintendo's marketing initiative with this game in the West is going to be huge. Like Pokemon huge. However, I can't seem to find the quote I'm looking for right now, so you may wanna take this with a grain of salt.Cantfakethefunk said:
That sounds about right...except that all three might still get lost in the mix even if there were no other big name titles to compete against, being what they are.
Maybe Super Street Fighter IV should have been a DLC pack. At least it could have been saved if it had been.

Figures the one Wii game I was looking forward to in March was "Monster Hunter Tri". And as far as I can tell there are no other big Wii games coming out that month so that really blows. At least though I'll have some awesome PC games to look forward to in the meantime.
I swear if they delay Dead Rising 2, I will [insert felony here]. Wait a second Left4Dead makes a sequel in a year, Dead Rising takes 4. Makes you think...
