THQ has spirit with 'All Star Cheer Squad' for Wii, DS

Fat ugly nerds jumping around shaking pom-poms FTL ... + spandex = EPIC FAIL.

Fat ugly nerds jumping around shaking pom-poms FTL ... + spandex = EPIC FAIL + Skirts = Visual AIDS.

Yet it could fail so bad that it could win.

Same with Lego Star Wars Wii... is outselling every other version.

Unfortunantly Fernandos the Wii is cheap to develop for, it has a large percentage of casual gamers so it is going to continue to receive alot of Krap.
This is not going to change, you will get the tried and true 1st party games...and alot of cheap 3rd party Krap.
Not many 3rd party developers are going to risk a big budget clunker on the Wii.

You are wrong in one thing... this is going to change... they are already developers focusing specifically in Wii games.

This Christmas and 2009 we should start seeing very good third party games...

Square is doing Wii games (White Engine, now Crystal Tools, are going to be adapted for the Wii), Capcom, Factor 5, Retro is making a new game, Valve is making Source engine Wii compatible, Atlus is doing games...

It's going to be a good year.

And don't be surprised if the Wii Rock Band version sells more than the PS3 version... it already happen with Guitar Hero III, and by a big margin.

Um, last I checked, NMH was at 100,000. Half a million would be about 500,000.

Yes, my bad... I was thinking in Zack and Wiki (not half million, but 300,000)

But NMH is not in 100,000, is in 200,000m without Europe release. (It will be released in a week)

I hate to say this but...

You assume this game is going to be bad, why? "Oh, it's cheerleading." Look, these are the assets of the project as we know it.

-Both versions are specifically targetted towards consoles with unique inputs. This is a new game for both consoles that isn't shovelware from PS2 soo bad even SCEA rejected it.

-This is by the guy who choreographed Bring It On. Horrible movie it may be, but the guy knows moves and how to make excessively elaborate sequences in REAL LIFE... now imagine when that limitation is removed.

-Some of the most ridiculous rhythm game concepts stand as the pillars of the genre. Ouendon (Elite Beat Against), DDR, Parappa the Rappa, Guitaroo Man, Samba De Amigo, and Bust A Groove.

Frankly, I'm not ready to give it the "pure shit" label until more is known about it. I wish more people would do the same. The core concept actually has potential... but this is also from a guy who's prizes amongst his PS2 import collection is Dance Summit 2001 and Beatmania....

It's kinda like the PS2... a lot of hundreds of casual titles and shovelware.

But at least it had more hardcore games from third party developers.

The Wii has a few hardcore third party titles, but it need more.

Small indie developers are creating amazing games, better than most of the retail crap. Why? Because is people who actually wants to make good games.
