[Wii] Klonoa! (now without that $80 ebay price tag)

Quote:

The game is 99% complete.

I would have thought that the game was 100% complete, given they already launched it once. Maybe that's why nobody bought the Playstation version, because it wasn't finished?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wii Fit was the second best selling game in the UK last week with Wii Sports still somewhere in the top 10. You can forgive them for resting on their laurels I guess. When people are still buying the same old crap, there's very little incentive to release anything else.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's a concious step by developers. When you announce details of a game halfway through development, there's potential for a lot of people to be dissapointed when you end up leaving out half the features ('Sup Mass Effect?), plus kids these days get so worked up and excited about the release they can't help but be let down when the final product ends up not actually providing a cure for cancer like the thought it would.

You wouldn't expect to see trailers for a film too long before it was released and I guess games developers are following suite, waiting until the game is in an all but ready to release state before starting the hype machine rolling. Also, as more and more developers are consolidated under a fewer number of producers, the parent companies aren't going to want the interest in a future game to negatively impact sales of one that's already been released.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Going by this little BandaiNamco opinion poll it looks like we're going to get an XTREME DU PU RU DU sooner rather than later.

Warning XTREME:

Question #10

How many games did you purchase within the last 12 months?

1
2
3
4
5+
Other

How the fuck does other factor in to that? Unless you bought none I guess but I'd have said that most numbers bigger than 5 are covered by 5+.

£25 but it's not out until November. Assuming that's not one of those silly placeholder release date Amazon are so fond of.

I was speaking idiomatically.
