NPD has revealed the US lifetime sales figures of four key Wii titles published by Capcom.
A new Okami Shiranui Nendoroid has moved closer to the production phase. Max Factory has confirmed a June 2022 launch and opened pre-orders.
Ever since The Legend of Zelda first came into the world back in 1986, many games have tried to ape its formula in hopes of creating a similarly captivating experience.
Every so often, a character in a video game - be it hero, villain, or NPC - will need to hide their identity. Maybe they’re infiltrating an enemy compound, attending a fancy ball, or just need to rent a motorbike. Sometimes their disguises are convincing, and sometimes they are 'so bad they're good'. Game Luster's Tim Jewett looks at ten of the best (worst?) examples.
think youve missed the best one of all! using chameleon in dark souls to troll other players....had some great fun with this
So we see the difference with "teh true figures" in VGchartz:
Resident Evil 4: 990,000 (+231,000)
Resident Evil UC: 510,000 (+111,500)
Okami: 200,000 (+44,100)
Zack & Wiki: 160,000 (+43,400)
Meaning a margin of error around 25 / 30%.
Okami was a great game that didn't sell well on either PS2 or the Wii which is too damned bad. I have the PS2 version and I love it. My wife has the Wii version and she was addicted to it until she finished it.
I encourage people to try it out on either platform. The Wii version has the advantage of progressive scan which you'll benefit from on an HDTV.
It is a bit sad that these great games go almost unnoticed amoungst the shovel ware on wii, (apart from maybe umbrella chronicles which I think is of questionable quality? i've not tried it so correct me if i'm wrong)
I've personally picked up Okami for wii, amazing game. RE4 I already had for cube so I am not going to buy it again. Zack & wiki has tempted me, but I can't go buying every game to just support a publisher!
real games dont sell on the Wii, unless they are published by Nintendo
I own all 4 and love them. Millions of Wii owners don't know what they're missing by not playing Zack & Wiki. 116,000 units is sad.
