2009's best Wii games (that died at retail)
I've played Deadly Creatures and I can say that it was a superb game, but was critically hampered by it's shortness. It could have done with a graphical upgrade, but I'd still want it on the Wii over the PS3 or 360 because it was a perfect example of a game where motion controls actually work. Now, I think that the reason that these games didn't sell is down to one thing - advertising. I can't comment on everywhere else, but i live in the UK and I've seen adverts for about half of the crappy titles you mentioned. The good ones? Nothing. The average non-gamer, when buying games, is going to apply their usual logic - if it's been advertised, it's better. After all, do you buy branded crisps or the supermarket's own brand? The problem is that non-gamers apply this logic to the gaming market, where it just doesn't apply. If it hasn't been advertised...they just don't care.
