CSM Writes:
"This is a great game for kids and families. Not only are the games fun, but they can be played in a variety of ways. In solo mode, kids can approach the games as an adventure, as exercise training, or as just fun. When playing with a friend, kids can play competitively or cooperatively. During competitions, both kids stand on the mat side by side, and watch a split screen of what's happening. But it's with the cooperative games that things get even more interesting. In one game, two kids cooperate to rock climb through a waterfall. One kid stands on the mat to jump from one watery outcrop to another, while the other kid holds the Wii remote horizontal and simulates lifting the friend up as he or she jumps. What's cool (and kind of amazing) is that one kid can't do this alone. The two really do have to work at coordinating their motions or they won't make it up the waterfall."
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
