Wii Play is in the place 23th and not cause of that I'm gonna say it was the best game of 2007
Liked or not, New Horizons sold that much cause of the pandemic.
It just released at the perfect timing, but to this point, we should know that just because something is popular or sold a lot, doesn't mean it's good...
I could not have said it any better. I strongly feel this way about many games (cough F. E. 3 Houses cough chough)
I'm not sure N really notices
why many of their games are selling, not sure they are taking environmental/external and timing factors into consideration.
Advance wars first came out against the background of 9/11 and; was released officially in the US 9/10.. who was going to remember that game against the political background/events of what was going on that day, few... and subsequently was held back from release in other areas for the same reasons... Nintendo also released the 3 follow up games on less than stellar dates, and often against the background of other games with higher profiles. Oh, Dual strike did alright, but Nintendo apparently didn't feel the US / NA liked the game and here we are with nothing for many years, in spite of the success of the almost copy and print similarity of Fire Emblem.
They literally stated they didn't feel we would take to that style of game [read as... understand it?] before releasing it in the first place.
To show how well the game is liked just type Advance Wars into IOs search engine and see just how many look-alikes there are out there and compare it to the success of games like Tiny Metal, 1& 2, WarGroove, Mecho Wars: Desert Ashes, and a whole host of other similar games, most if not all successful. The game/style/loop IS wanted, however for some unspoken reason N doesn't want to touch it.
Anywho, I vote for Skyrim (hey if an FF7 remake, why not this) and or the
US Elections as GOTY if my
VOTE really stood for anything
.
Sorry for long post
