Hello Destructoid, this is [redacted]'s mother. His computer is being naughty right now, so I'm sending you this news tip in his place. It's about a game called
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. He told me that these videos are exciting because they show that this game will play less like a "Beat them up" and more like "Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition". But he also said that some man named Conrad
already played this game, so I he would already know about it.
So why does he want me to send this tip to you if it's old news? What a strange boy!

Excellent.
God damn it this game is shit.
Also, why are names removed!? Who is ashamed of their own mother? Hmm?
....
Anyway, Capcom shouldn't blame Wii owners if this Dead Rising remake doesn't sell.
Maybe, maybe not. There is no way to tell. Hopefully, 2009 will be the year that Wii developers get it through their thick skulls that many of us are tired of Waggle-ware and mini-games. If this title doesn't fare well, that doesn't mean that the other releases for this year will suffer the same fate.
Of course, it also doesn't help that these companies don't fscking advertise! I see XB360/PS3 game commercials regularly, but I don't think I've ever seen a commercial for anything Wii-related, except the console itself! How do they expect people to know that there are other games out there if they don't get it in people's faces? *sigh*
