Remember when everyone asumed Suda51 was moving NMH franchise to other consoles due to wii limitations?Nothing farther from the truth.

http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=97604

I guess older NMH might get ported to other consoles, but wont get sequels. Most likely tho, i think NMH will stay as the benchmark of highest mature rated wii game.

He better start actually adding substance in his games, instead of just "style". Games are meant to be played; not watched.

I think the word "shovelware" has officially become meaningless as of this moment.

I agree with Hip/Psycho on this... (even though I wouldn't consider it shovelware)

I love Suda's artists, but the game overall just felt like one big "blah" and empty... I couldn't even finish it, and NMH was a game I was completely hyped for.

You're hilarious.

This is excellent news, for whatever reason. Though I'm disappointed to hear that Travis's story is finished in Desperate Struggle.

From Encarta:

shovelware

shov·el·ware [ shúvv'l wèr ]

noun

Definition:

poor quality software: software or material that is put on the Web or on a CD-ROM indiscriminately without regard for its appearance or usefulness ( informal )

The definition fitsNo More Heros perfectly.

Come on, Nintendo is not going to put their games on other systems while they are still making consoles. Muramassa is overrated and do I really need to start talking about Madworld? Not all third party exclusives are shovelware though. Third party games that properly use the controls are great (the latest Tiger Woods, Shaun White Snowboarding, FPSs, etc.).

Hmm... With the misinterpretation, I could have still played the other game(s) on other consoles. With this one, I won't be able to play it, since I'm sticking to this gen... On the other hand, I'll still get to see the conclusion to Travis' story this gen, so it may not matter to me as much.

The game currently averages an 8.3 among critics and an 8.5 among users.

You don't get to call a game shovelware just because you personally don't like it.

Jaysonguy

Shovelware has become synonymous with "games I don't like". When games that are widely critically well-received and enjoyed by the vast majority of gamers are deemed shovelware, yes, the word has officially lost all meaning. It has become nothing more than a pet label used by those who wish to dismiss a game.

Which is bad, because that makes it impossible to discuss or refer to the games that actually are shovelware.

I don't know about it. I didn't play and not interested on the first one but I'm interested on the sequel. I don't see a shovelware there. Shovelware are more like Hannah Montana, Superman 64, ET on Atari, Rig Racer 2, ...

I find this funny, coming from someone who is anticipating Modern Warfare Wii, which can be argued to be 'shovelware' -- much like what you're saying.

But that's what I'm saying. Why not just say "I don't like it", when that is what you're really saying? Why do you need to call it "shovelware" when the vast majority of the population clearly enjoys it and finds it a quality game? All that does is render the term meaningless and impedes communication.

Your so opinionated. It isn't shovelware. Shovelware means crappy games, and NMH is far from that. If The Conduit isn't shovelware than NMH isn't, The Conduit was a huge letdown.

Not to me, so that means its shovelware. It was designed like an N64 game with glitched out AI and broken online, which fits the definition of shovelware.

See what I did there?

Shovelware means crappy games

randomwiiplayer

It doesn't even just mean that; it refers to a game that not only is bad, but which the developer obviously knew was bad and released it anyway just to cash in on the back of something much more successful. A game that happens to be bad, but which still hopes to sell on its own merits, is not shovelware.

A game has to be more than just bad for it to be shovelware. A game that is bad... is a bad game.

As I already said, the definition of shovelware can easily be applied to No More Heros. It's a poor quality game (low budget, no regard for appearance, and generally pointless). The vast majority of the population clearly did not care enough for the game to even buy it.

Why do you need to call it "shovelware" when the vast majority of the population clearly enjoys it and finds it a quality game? All that does is render the term meaningless and impedes communication.

As I already said, the definition of shovelware can easily be applied to No More Heros. It's a poor quality game (low budget, no regard for appearance, and generally pointless). The vast majority of the population clearly did not care enough for the game to even buy it.

That only makes it unpopular, though. There are plenty of games out there that are made on a low budget and don't sell (your remarks about a lack of regard for appearance and being pointless is merely from your perspective, however), but that don't classify them as shovelware, or even as bad games. I can understand if you don't like it and/or think it's simply a game focused on style and nothing else, but I think it's safe to say that you're going overboard about all of this. Personally, I have no interest in this series myself, but I think it has some qualities to classify itself in a class above that of a game that was mindlessly being pushed onto a system with no intention of being a decent gaming experience.

That said, I suppose it's ok that Suda wants to continue to make this series for Nintendo systems, but I'm also one of those people who want to see this series (and Suda's games, in particular) to evolve from the idea that being unique and edgy is enough. No disrespect, but this guy's work is always niche for a reason, and a large part has to do with the fact that you have to be part of a certain crowd to get the most enjoyment out of his games. I'm not saying that he should sugarcoat his work or add rainbows and ponies to make his games more appealing, but perhaps applying a little more diversity (which in this case would probably mean thinking more inside the box) would do well to compliment the art style of most of his games.

Nooo, it really isn't. The people who played it are widely in agreement that it was an enjoyable, quality game.

The vast majority of the population clearly did not care enough for the game to even buy it.psychobrew

Wait, what? Are you asserting that a game with comparatively low sales can only be in that situation because it is low quality? :?

But that's what I'm saying. Why not just say "I don't like it", when that is what you're really saying? Why do you need to call it "shovelware" when the vast majority of the population clearly enjoys it and finds it a quality game? All that does is render the term meaningless and impedes communication.

LMAO, so sales = quality? Your credibility just fluttered out the window.

I didn't say that, but you do bring up a good point. Quality games usually sell decently if for no other reason than word of mouth. That does not mean the highest quality games are always the best selling, but for such a critically acclaimed game and all the free marketing that comes along with it, you would have expected sale to be much better than they were. Obviously, it wasn't an interesting game to most people.

You said the majority of the population loved the game. That can't be true when the majority of the population didn't buy it. I think what you meant was the majority of the population who bought the game loved it, which might be true, but as another person wrote it's a niche game so the majority of the population is not going to like it (and if they bought it anyway, the user reviews would be much different).

Maybe more games would have been sold at a higher price if they advertised there games so that people knows that it exist before it drops to 20$.

[QUOTE="psychobrew"][QUOTE="wiifan001"] say what? No More Heroes is shovelware?Vexx88
The game is obviously not good enough for other systems. If it were good enough, it would be on them.

>_> So a Wii exclusive is shovelware? Ok SMG, Brawl, Metroid Prime, Murasama, and Madworld are shovelware.

Don't forget Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, Red Steel, Mario Kart Wii, Twilight Princess and Wario Ware.
