The End of Suzumiya Haruhi? Gekidou Sales a Damp Squib

the-tears-of-suzumiya-haruhi.jpg

The news that Haruhi Wii dance game Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekidou’s opening day sales managed a pathetic 8,500 units, according to announced figures, has been greeted by fans not with horror but with derision.

It seems there can be no doubt now that Haruhi fans have dwindled precipitously, and that those that remain are more jaded than is convenient for the purposes of marketing to.

Major Wii Fail

Major Wii Fail: “Major Wii Perfect Closer”

Few can resist ridiculing what now looks to be the worst game on the Wii by some margin, Takara Tomy’s “Major Wii Perfect Closer”, possibly one of the worst games ever, in fact (though competition is certainly stiff here).

You might think that it being a baseball game is dire enough, but look closer:

Haruhi Wii Dance Game Delayed

Haruhi Wii Dance Game Delayed

The much anticipated Haruhi Wii dance game, Haruhi no Gekidou, has had its release put back from November to January 22nd, a delay sure to disappoint many, especially in conjunction with the earlier confusing news that the dance portion was “cancelled“. The news comes by way of the official site.

Clearly development has not been without its hurdles; at least there is still the 3D adventure game due for the Wii as well.
