Pikmen 3 and Wonderful 101 should have a high attach rate.

deafdani3942d ago

While I think those games will probably be pretty high quality, that doesn't automatically means high attach rates. Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 weren't that popular on the Gamecube despite being met with critical acclaim, and Wonderful 101 is a completely new IP, so it's untested.

Concertoine3941d ago

this is true. pikmin 1 sold just under 2 million units, and pikmin 2 just over 1(though it might have sold more on the recent wii re release). not bad for gamecube games, but it doesn't have the dedicated fanbase the other IP's do. nonetheless it provides unique variety to the growing wii u library.
wonderful 101 though is one of the reasons i want a wii u ;). i love platinum games, they released some of my favorite 360 games

Killer is Dead looks amazing! I just wish I could get the fan edition in Canada :(

RetardedIceCream3942d ago (Edited 3942d ago )

really dissapointing that the vita only has 3 games on this list but killzone is all i need

drsnoopyseussdog3942d ago

Well there is actually two games that were not listed. Valhalla Knights 3 is coming out in September and The Walking Dead is coming out in August. 5 is better than nothing i guess:)

TongkatAli3942d ago

Dragons Crown is what I'm most hyped about then Pikmin 3.

Volition's Saints Row 4 PC upgrade was meant to be a make-good, but it broke the game instead

Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.

Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.

I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.

jeromeface488d ago

i can't help but laugh at this comment. Gearbox can't even run themselves.
