It's Official, Madworld Drops To $30

NintendoDpad reports:
"It's official, at Gamestop Madworld is now $30. A $20 price drop seems a little drastic for such a AAA title. Madworld, which only sold 66,000 in the month of it's launch in America, has not seen that great of sales."

I don't think it's that simple. MadWorld's graphics look great and they're an excellent creative solution to Wii's limitations. But they really wouldn't work as well in HD and I think they'd be scoffed at by most Xbox and PS3 owners who are used to ultrarealistic gore in their brawlers. MadWorld is truly best suited for the Wii.

I bought it, and it's a blast. I'm truly disappointed that it hasn't fared more strongly.

that the only games utilizing the Wii's motion controller and sell well are Nintendo first party games and games with the word "play" in the title.

I really wanted Wii owners to step up and buy a game that wasn't uber kiddy. Oh well. Hopefully MS or Sony releases a motion controller so games like this can go to a system whose owners will support it.

one of the reasons it didn't sell well if you ask me is because of the fact that its a new IP on the wii i bet if this was the same game except it had resident evil in the tittle it would have sold millions

Most people just don't have the money for it right now. Some people actually don't like the commentary or the rapping. Platinum was not smart enough to get some real stars in on this game like the GTA guys.
I here Wu tang and ghost face will do any thing for a check now. J/K

The game is good and people are broke are afraid of being broke. It is hitting the HD systems also or it will be soon as more people are said to loose their jobs.

Maybe online competitive fighting would have helped? Too much of the game is not shown though. Some of the art is really top notch stuff.

Everytime i go into Gamestop and ask about a certain game they ask me if ive preordered "insert big hyped game for another console". When i tell them "no, i dont want that game", they always go into some conversation about why i should be hyped for that game.

Perfect example was for Halo Wars......

Ontopic
This is a great deal for people who missed out

each employee must give out so many preorders each month. They just pick the titles that most people will hear the title or titles that will sell fast causing the customer to feel as if he/she needs a reservation.

I worked in customer service for years, i understand they must say that as part of their job, but they shouldn't have to continue to try to change my mind after i have already given them an answer to their question.

Thats when his job stops and his opinion starts, because i don't care about his opinion. Know what i mean?

The game doesn't interest me in the slightest... However, it's obvious some amount of effort went into making it, so it deserves to sell a little.

Sony is DOOMED

Seriously though, I tried this game on my friend's Wii and it's really a great game. I'd buy it if I had Wii.

this sort of game doesn't seem to appeal to the wii owners for the most part...

So true but for some reason certain Wii owners try to deny it, despite overwhelming proof. Watch the disagrees.

Bring this on PSN and I'm getting it.

It had sold three times a smuch as God Hand though. Which was on the PS2.

EDIT: It's also good if it stays exclusive because if I asked why you won't get it on the Wii you would say one game isn't worth getting a Wii for but if it went multiplat and another game came out that you want on the Wii you would say that the new isn't enough because you can get Madworld on the PS3.

If you know what I mean.

SpoonyRedMage is right. It's almost like these guys are too hardcore for the current hardcore gamers. God hand was actually an impressive brawler too. I really wonder what their HD games will do?

i have a wii and this game looks fun but to be completely honest, i don't really care if i never end up playing it. It just looks like an ultra violent brawler. It doesn't really appeal to me. The one thing i am interested in though is the commentary in the game, it sounds pretty funny from the clips that i've seen on youtube.

reason why many people hasn't bought this game is because of it length. you can finish it in about 5 hours. so i'm assuming it has done better by renting
