it would of been hard for this game to sell alot, No More Heroes 2 is release on sale but its not like Ubisoft cares… what ad campaign exists for one of the anticipated games on the Wii in 2010? None…unless a banner on GameFAQS counts as an ad. So, Ubisoft, what was the point of picking this game up if you were just going to ignore it and make gamers find it on their own? Most of the Wii audience still pays attention to traditional media. With all the great reviews Desperate Struggle is getting, it shouldn’t be hard to whip together a TV ad and tell people about a great game.

Yea aside from some in store advertising, and some Nintendo Channel/website trailers, there has been no marketing push for this at all. Even the first had a larger marketing push for this one.

Definitely quite sad to see that, but as I've said before, I'm done with 3rd parties actually trying to push their big games and instead just happy that I personally get them.

Don't be surprised of how much the game sells in its first week, because Ubisoft dropped the ball on this one. They should have advertise the hell out of this game, the reviews were there, but, not Ubisoft.

too bad the town was removed, it could be cool to add some more freedom in town instead of removing

however, the 50 bosses idea is awesome, and the graphics are mush better

The more games like this are released, where WiiMote can be used as a katana, for example, and better than just action games, some RPG's with WiiMote melee weapons fight, the more likely becomes I buy a Wii when the price is right for me.

It is slowly climbing on Amazon behind Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom. I have been tracking it for the past week on Amazon it has gone from ~430 to ~215 in one week, with absolutely nothing in the way of advertising on TV or on Amazon.

ash3336 posted 15/01/2010, 10:59
Yes it is worrying that it is not on the charts. I still expect the opening week in the Americas to be around 50k. If early reviews come, that might increase. Others should get an opening week of around 35k. Japanese, if advertised properly, should also get a 20k opening week. 100k opening week combined is good. With a stable price for at least the first 10 weeks, The game could see around 250-300k in the first 10 weeks. That would be really good. O course, then it is up to the legs to decide whether this is a success or not. I want this to completely outsell the original. Completely deserves it.
