What's up guys! Hope you had a good New Year!

Also, what's up with the site? Like the forums and stuff why do I all of a sudden have access to mod controls? I can delete, save, or lock any topic.

HNY ASK. New podcast is posted too, since you were here last.  

But that begs the question, are we going to do more mature titles for the Wii? And it’s like, probably not. Look at Dead Space. We were stunned. That was my litmus test. Basically, it’s like, okay, you got EA, who can put all the marketing muscle behind this, an established franchise that scored quite well on 360 and PS3. They should be able to actually hit this out of the park, right? We get numbers, real numbers aside from NPD, and I’m like, ‘Woah.’” - Constantine Hantzopoulos, studio director at SEGA

This is WTF, for all the reasons already mentioned as to why Dead Space Extraction wouldn't sell in the first place, the biggest WTF part is that EA did NOT leverage its marketing might towards this product. As we've already heard from an analyst, they actually scaled back marketing before it even launched. And as said analyst said, when it comes to wii sales and marketing have a huge correlation.

And that’s what I saw out of Conduit. Because not a bad game, visually it’s appealing, right? AI wasn’t that great. High Voltage’s first real effort as an indie developer, creating their own IP. And it was a good effort, right?

And this is LOL. No, it wasn't bad, just mediocre, a first effort from an indie developer. This is suppossed to sell millions amrite?

But yeah, Aspro is right, just look at some of the people here. They get their meat somewhere else and then get the potatos on wii.

Guys, HD Metroid Prime shots

I am really baffled by  Poupodopolous or however it is spelled.

He says that HoTD and Conduit reached their targets, so what's the problem? And why is he comparing the market of light gun shooters to DS:E, while they have a light gun shooter that has sold a million? And is he really admitting they are selling Mature games to 13 year olds?

It all sounds Greek to me.

Maybe Bugs can translate for us!

the guy may be of greek origin but what he said is really just beyond translation.

Here's a question that probably has a very simple answer, but I can't seem to figure it out...

In the forums how do we access pages 8 through 19? There's a "next" button at the bottom of the page for all the pages up to the elipse division on the page-jump links, but when you actually get to page "7" there's no "Next" button!

Errrr... ? ? ?

File these kind of issue in the Official site bug topic.  Just posting it here or in a thread I may overlook it.

And checking, yes, there seems to be an issue there.  Not sure what happened.  As a short-term workaround until I get that resolved, you can change the page number in the address bar, it should be the last number before .html.

Yes. He's always talking about the games he's been playing on the Bonus Round.
