GameSpy writes: "Many years ago, Bandai attempted to get lazy NES players up off of their sofas by introducing Family Fun Fitness, a sensor-filled plastic mat that plugged into the NES system and forced kids to run and jump on it in order to control their games. Nintendo liked the idea so much that the company licensed the mat from Bandai and re-released it as the Power Pad. Nowadays Nintendo may have moved on to the Wii Balance Board, but Bandai (well, Namco Bandai) is keeping the concept of the Power Pad alive."
Spiffy:
-A good mixture of competitive and co-op multiplayer
-A little running in place probably wouldn't kill you
Iffy:
-The mat controller is a bit too small for two adults
-Your arms and legs will ache for hours
Gamertell has posted its Wii game suggestions for the 2009 holiday shopping season.
The list is divided by interest genres.
all he is missing is modern warfare: reflex edition under mature and this is a pretty solid list. Glad to see this year is nothing like 2008. Wii owners have selection this time... and good stuff too.
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.
thats some really interesting no's 600k gundam 2 in japan alone and 650k for ultimate ninja storm if they patch trophies i would buy it great looking game
FLOP! only in 360fixme.
------------------------
6. Naruto Ultimate Ninja: Storm
System(s): Playstation 3
Region(s): Europe, Japan and United States
Total Sales: 640,000 units
I do better with Namco exclusive only for ps3 and more than flops been there in 360fixme.
Wow Naruto UN Storm sold rather well! Is anyone really surprised TOV has not sold well on 360.
