The DS port of this game was awful, so excuse me if I'm not too excited about this one.

As far as I could tell, the online and local multiplayer were identical. So, I wouldn't be too concerned with that.
In reference to your past point, a good game is a good game, but the recommendation is meant to steer readers towards the right purchase. If you're a Wii owner looking for a good game on the system, this is a choice for you. If I would've limited my statement to just the Wii Sports crowd, it would've been too restrictive. I enjoyed the game and I plan on playing it with Chessa and eventually my son when he's old enough.
End of the story is, I have no reason to troll the Wii, especially on my own website. I've said before on many occasions that the Wii has had more games this generation that I've loved than on any other system. However, I simply can't ignore the fact that I've barely played the system this year and that's specifically due to the fact that next to nothing has come out.
The single player experience is pretty dull. I did play through a few maps and it wasn't something that I'd really want to go back to. The multiplayer on the other hand was a good bit of fun, even with only 1 other person. Of course, the computer fills out the other spots, so you'll still have to contend with that, but it's not the end of the world.
Also, as I've mentioned in the past, I'm a Wii owner starving for a game and I'd think that's accentuated by the fact that I do have a ton of games at my disposal. They've all been played and beaten at this point and since then, next to nothing has come out, save for Zelda. The statement was more for those who bought the system for Wii Sports (like my mother and father in law) and are looking for something that would fit their tastes. They've had little reason to trot out the Wii for a good long while, but this is something that would encourage them to play for at least a little while again.
Yeah, it really is a quality game. I definitely would wait until you have the right situation to play it though. I plan on playing some with my inlaws while they're in town.
Fortune Street is a great game for holiday get-togethers. I know the review just went live, but I strongly suggest it if you like stuff like Monopoly. It's truly a digital board game, unlike stuff like Mario Party and Dokapon Kingdom.
"It was pretty big, not gonna lie, lol"
That's what she said.
My 3DS is more broken, the only 2 street passes I've ever gotten were from you and Chris. Two lonely street passes...
I still can't get over how close Angelo is to where I used to live. I used to work right up the street for SUNY System Administration, which is literally in walking distance to where Angelo works. Also of note, Chessa and I met at the McDonald's across the street from Crossgates on Western Ave - it's a small world.
Mistakes happen - our apologies. We're currently in a transitional phase and are putting people in new positions to handle both staff and viewership growth.
Thanks for pointing out the error, we'll be doing our best to make sure it doesn't happen again. Typically I'd be on news editing, but yesterday was my son's birthday, so I wasn't around to keep an eye on things. It's no excuse, but it's the best that can be said for now.
Shouldn't be any surprise this sold less. People now know what they are in for and are making an informed decision. It's a controversial game, so a limited set of sales is to be expected.
Seems like it still did pretty well overall, though. Glad to hear it, as I really enjoyed the first game and I'm looking forward to the improvements they are making here.
Damn, sorry you hit a bug with the blog posting. I'll get to work on fixing that.
