Wii owners BUY Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Monster Hunter Tri

I feel bad for TvC. From what I have read in this thread. This excellent game is going to die at retail. Just like Okami, Muramasa, Zack & Wiki, Little King's Story and the likes. Tis a shame:(gamefan67

How does that saying go? You reap what you sew? Well putting the seeds on a shelf simply isn't enough... you have to plant the damn things too...

I don't understand why people aren't excited for Tatsunoko vs Capcom:P

I'll LOL if that happens.

I hope it will get AAA, so more people will buy it:Ptom95b

Oh ya, that really worked for Dead Space Extraction, Little King's Story, Madworld, and No More Heroes.

Being a great game doesn't translate into having great sales, especially on Wii.

And if someone mentions advertisement one more time, I'll scream. First of all, the people these games are marketed to are already aware of these games and a number of these poor-selling good wii games were advertised on game sites and game news sites, which is where the target audience most likely is.

Second of all, I've never seen advertisements either on tv or online for many of the games that sell like hotcakes on Wii.

Third of all, I haven't seen tv advertisements for quite a number of pretty big games that sold well on PS360.

Fourth of all, the marketing budget is determined by how well the audience responds. If it doesn't get a good response, they pull advertisement so as to cut their losses and maximise profits - selling more doesn't necessarily translate into more profits.

I hope the word of mouth will give this game some decent numbers. Imalittle annoyedthat I bought the import, but at least you guys will get a chance to enjoy this great game.

Being a good game doesn't translate into sales on any console. Also there is more to marketing than just tv commercials. Hell I saw posters of RE:DC(me thinks Capcom was trying to hide the fact that is was a rail shooter) Marketing also means to conform to what the mainstream consumer wants, in the case of video games that means name, content, capabilities like online play, visuals, and of course genre. All the advertisment in the world for DC or Zack and Wiki wouldn't have saved them from the huge marketing mistakes in genre for RE and the failure in name, artstyle etc for Z&W. But a lack of advertisement only further helps already poor marketing decisions, people likely thought Z&W was shovelware because of its name and looks and Capcom did nothing to educate the public.

I wonder clickety what games you have from 2 and 3 because like I said marketing is more than tv ads, don't underestimate where you can see games marketed. It could be magazines, the newspaper or on a show you don't happen to watch. I've heard of Wii games being advertised on like talk shows, some retailers like amazon email people about games and stuff, so just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it wasn't there. But lets be realistic I doubt they had Dead Space on Oprah, so to just get that out there in case you were planning on going there.

Lastly the marketing budget is decided on how they EXPECT the audience to respond. If they waited for the response of the audience, why would 2K be advertising Bioshock 2 already and Red Dead Redemption which isn't out 4 months. And even more important, if they waited for the response of the audience, how would the audience know that its there? The whole gaming audience doesn't hang out on GS and IGN, infact we would be lucky if 1% of that audience was on here. They cut marketing if the audience isn't responding to it, but if they never start it, then they already expect it not to help.

So Tatsunoko vs Capcom will sell more if it gets a higher score.

Most of the million sellers on there have had some sort of marketing campaign with the exception of a few. Besides that Wii may need more mainstream marketing than the whole industry realizes.

They keep thinking that plastering their work on game websites will help let softcore gamers who really only find out about games through television and their local gamestop and 40+ year old individuals who certainly need regular advertisement. Most of the games that have not done well have missed a huge piece in the success formula. If there is good marketing, the game lacks polish, or the whole game concept is too niche to even grab a million buyers.

I like fighters but I REALLY REALLY hate the fighter community.

Look at the Melee>Brawl argument to see what I'm talking about.

I am DEFINITELY buying MH3. And I've been consider TvsC. They both look like good quality games.

I just wish Monster hunter 3 comes out already!!!Arctic_Grillz

We've been waiting too long. Capcom wants a steady stream of cash rather that a lot of money all at once. And, please Nintendo, localize the CC Pro!

Wait...are you judging the whole fighter community based on the Melee>Brawl agrument. Cause I go to Dustloop.com and Tekkenzaibatsu.com and I never seen any "serious" agrument about Blazblue and Guilty Gear and Tekken 6 with the previous Tekken games.

They do happen maybe on sites like gamespot and ign, but, in my experience, I don't see fans from a certain fighting game, like SF4, troll on other sites like dustloop and agrue which one is better. Then again I don't go to shouryuken.com since I don't play SF4, but most fighting game fans I know are either sane or they like multiple fighting games and they don't troll on each others sites.

Actually BlazBlue is the one which makes me want to play fighters. It's awesome. However, fights between for example, Street Fighter 4 fans and BlazBlue fans do happen. I don't know, I just find them nitpicking a bit too much sometimes.

Ah crap double post. My bad. :?

I'll get Tatsunoko vs. Capcom once I get back to my job, even though I tried Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and I can't beat the final boss on the easiest difficulty setting...

Yeah it's taking way too long, it's out in Japan for months!

But maybe they're adding some new things, that would be awesome!
