Disapointing numbers

BOMB BOMB

AssMan · Jul 2, 2004

Did the first one bomb?

BuddyC · Jul 2, 2004

Not really.

cvxfreak · Jul 2, 2004

7,000? The first one sold 350K.

UFC PRIDE · Jul 2, 2004

its pretty disturbing when iwata uses this game as a model of Nintendo in interviews.

Yuck.

Are they sure it wasn't 70,000? Nintendo only shipped 23,000 copies then if it was 7,000 and didn't expect much then.

Yeah, 70,000 would be acceptable for an addon game.
Otherwise, if it really is 7,000, What went wrong?

sell your kongas, it's all over

THE MUSIC SUCKS.

That is all.

SantaC · Jul 2, 2004

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, that's whats wrong. It's so much cooler use of the drums.

You have to play it for yourself to "get it."

And hey, you can play video games.... IN YOUR HEAD!! That's fun! And you can read book and make images in your head too!!

Kobun Heat · Jul 2, 2004

The numbers don't make sense. 7,000? 30%? I doubt Nintendo only shipped 23,000 copies of this...

Anyway, if the percentage figure is right, that sounds pretty good for the first two days. Especially since DK and Taiko games tend to stay on the charts for a while, slowly racking up sales.

jiggle · Jul 2, 2004

Wow, a delux edition outselling the normal one.

Patrick Klepek · Jul 2, 2004

does the music really suck?

Kobun Heat · Jul 2, 2004

Oh. Well, compared to everything else those numbers look fine.

I wonder if that counts the DK1 and 2 combo pack?

The music's... well. I had a whole 'nother thread about it somewhere...

Patrick Klepek · Jul 2, 2004

better or worse than the original?

err.....i have played it. in fact i've owned it. i thought it'd atleast be as fun as samba but its too simple. i could see the younger audience enjoying it but it just wasnt for me. the clapping and drum beating dont ever flow with the music as the maracas do with samba.

Oh, sorry.

I've only played the US version myself. Anticipating Taiko much more though.

Donkey Konga 2 at #1...

I call those numbers bullshit now.

Insertia · Jul 3, 2004

What a slap to the face.

Wasn't Nintendo just saying this is the type of games consumers wanted?

Donkey Bomba.

they can only ship as much as what the retailers order

cvxfreak · Jul 3, 2004

Anyone here notice the discrepency between the unnamed forum's numbers and Oricon's?

MaddenNFL64 · Jul 3, 2004

I didn't even know there was a Donkey Konga 2

.

Anyway, the original sold pretty damn well, so it'll probably pick up.
