Cube's not looking so hot

[Teuthida]

Maybe this will be a wake-up call to Nintendo that these innovative games just don't sell.

well, donkey konga sold 300,000 units, and the second one should do equally as good. this game just didn't do it for some reason. too high of price point if you ask me.

Since when have games like this ever sold? Add to that the horrible marketing job Nintendo does.

I compliment Nintendo for having the balls to release a game like this in the US. But if they expected it to sell, they're crazy.

Innovative games like this are all that excite me anymore.

The two games I was most excited for last month were DK: Jungle Beat and Yoshi's Touch and Go. Unfortunately, being a college student I only have so much money, and I couldn't have both.

I think it's the concept that is hard for people to grasp. Playing a rhythm game with bongos is one thing, but a platformer... they probably think that's just crazy.

I also agree with Dyne. I don't know who these people are that need 5 AAA titles a month, but come on... there's life outside of a videogame console. Cube is one of my favorite console ever because even though its library isn't huge, it has so many great games, and I still haven't beat half of the ones I own.

Lol, Typhoid? (edit: mybad, I thought you said Typhoid instead of Dyne... )

I'd prefer it if they made a huge platform game, like DKC.

People who'd like to have some choices rather than having to buy the single AAA title that comes out every 3 months..



Although I do agree gamecube is probably enough for gamers without a lot of time to spend playing...
