Why no Player's Choice for the DS or Wii?

[deltoidsteep]

Bump!

Nintendo is releasing a new series of budget titles in Jaypan! (Official website)

Only seven games listed so far, and *gasp* no first-party games. There's this precious medal ranking things going on (from platinum to gold, silver, then bronze) based on their rankings as voted by the Wii channel or something.

Hideous packaging design though... Wow.



At least the games will be cheaper at... ¥2,800, or about $30 each. Twilight Princess still costs a bit, if this amazon page can be trusted. New from Amazon.jp for ¥5,382 and used starting at ¥3,910? Those two prices are about the same for Muramasa, only Muramasa's dropping down a good $20.

that is some truly horrendous box art

That's worse that Konami's Best for Castlevania on DS boxart.

I think Nintendo is saving the budget series titles for a time when the Wii begins to slow down in sales.

This is what I was thinking too. However, considering how Nintendo first party games stay on the top 20 sold list years after their initial release, we may not see any budget series for the Wii until the very last few years of it's existence.

QFT.

Seriously.

retracted. kupomogli you're a luggan, but damned entertaining, like a Wii hating bot.
