:D

It's a niche title, it was never going to be a huge global hit because some would always find it dull/none-FPS-like. In terms of quality it's up there with Goldeneye, but not with appeal. And Goldeneye is harder that Prime, by the way.

Not as bad as the "Woohoo!" adverts.

Nintendo advertised Donkey Konga on TV quite a lot.

Shame the adverts were so rubbish.

Yes! TV adverts. Someone who agrees with me.

Not one person here could co-ordinate advertising for NOE, the sad thing is even if we couldn't do it we would still get a few TV adverts which would probably do the GC a world of good.

Most probably would make his own shoddy versions of popular games and they would sell like hot turds.

I really highly doubt that, you'd probably destroy Ninty actually.

I totally agree. I think Goldeneye is the best game of all time. Metroid Prime was too hard to appeal to people the way Goldeneye did. Probably it's biggest downfall was the sometimes insane difficulty level.

Hmmmm Metroid Prime wasn't as far reaching as Goldeneye. So then it comes down to your definition of a 'great exclusive game'.

and if we're using Goldeneye as an example then Metroid Prime doesn't have a wide an appeal, so in that respect it falls short of being another Goldeneye. In others it doesn't.
