Every now and then a game comes along that just makes you say "now that is just a little bit of alright". Namco's latest Wii offering is certainly a prime example of this. We Ski is the kind of game that hardcores will balk at and casual gamers will likely find little incentive to give it a chance, which is truly a shame because We Ski is one of the most interesting uses of the system's motion controls to date. Not to mention being a load of fun once you get accustomed to the somewhat intricate control scheme. From the outset you have full access to the enormous Happy Ski Resort chock full of surprisingly entertaining events and challenges.
Namco Bandai today released their Q1 2010 earnings report. And buried amidst the boring money stuff (net sales are down 15.8%) is something a little more interesting: game sales data.
Listed were the publisher's top five-selling games for the quarter ending June 30, 2009 (as in, only those sold during that three-month period, not lifetime sales). Those expecting Nintendo-like numbers will be disappointed, but those who love Afro Samurai - or just numbers in general - will be thrilled!
Poor Namco. Their best selling game isn't even well reviewed or high in sales. The other 4 are just jokes anyways. Hopefully they shuffle up some good game ideas for this next quarter to keep afloat since I like the Tales of series.
this is what they get for unleashing Ace Combat to a foreign audience and abandoning the outright loyalty of the PS horde; otherwise ruining the track record of an excellent franchise.
where in the world is KK and that fkn Cellius...? >_<
The top ten best-selling games for Namco Bandai during the 2008-2009 fiscal year.Tales of Vesperia for the Xbox 360 is surprisingly not on the list.

6. Naruto Ultimate Ninja: Storm

We Ski And Snowboard Ships For Wii As if We Skiing wasn't enough, now We (can) Ski & Snowboard. Hoo-ray! Namco Bandai recently announced that their prime-time snow grinding game is shipping for the Wii, and should be readily available for purchase at local retailers."
I've been playing this with the balance board and acutally it is pretty fun :) plenty of gear to have and the controls are pretty good too
