Shaun White Snowboarding 2 already in the oven
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
Unlike the typical multiplatform game, a good majority of critics have been giving the Wii version of Shaun White Snowboarding the most accolades. The game has also sold fairly well at 259,000 copies sold in November and the Wii version has raked in 40% of those sales. So, it shouldn’t be surprising that a sequel is in the works.
Said Shaun White himself, “Now that I have the knowledge and I can speak to programmers better and I understand a lot more about what’s possible and what’s not possible, this will all help with the next game.”

Call of Duty flops on Nintendo platforms
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 17 Comments
Call of Duty: World at War performed fairly well in terms of critical reviews on both the Wii and DS, yet both versions have pretty much sold a dismal amount compared to the 360 and PS3. The 360 version of the game has sold 1.41 units while the PS3 sold roughly 600,000 copies. Disappointingly, only 200,000 units of the game were sold between the Wii and DS. This is slightly surprising since, after all, Activision has been supporting the Wii version in terms of advertising. Commercials of the game seem to appear on television regularly. And let’s not forget that the game has received positive reviews. So the only question is, why haven’t people bought the game?
