Yes Mad World price has dropped by 50% in space of a couple of weeks. What went wrong as games dont normally drop price that quickly?

Check on out Game.co.uk ! I'd put a link but sadly it will not allow me to.

In Canada (Toronto) the game dropped from the ridiculous price of $59.99 (No Wii game should ever be more than $49.99...) to $39.99. Perhaps sales haven't been what they hoped for...

It's sad that the wii owners here only buy first-party games. I hope the developers learn and work on another plataform instead one dominated by shovelware.

Sad news for Wii gamers. If hyped mature games like Madworld flop in sales then they will always be stuck with games like Mario bath time and other weird cheap games.

I guess Wii owners are too busy buying Wii Fit to get mature games for mature gamers such as themselves.

True but with the audience Nintendo has, a game won't sell just because it has blood in it. I think it's the opposite of mature.

It should have been 20 bucks. It's an extremely shallow and short game.

No one should have to pay fifty dollars for five hours of gameplay.

No More Heroes waited much longer to drop its price. I happily paid fifty bucks for that game.

It's sad, but unlike what many believe, it has nothing to do with the platform, more the audience it's aimed at.

Ninja Gaiden II suffered a similar fate in the UK, coming out at £40 and then hitting £20 permanently within a couple of weeks (and now being sold for £10 when bought with Ninja Blade @ GAME). The lack of advertising presence probably hasnt helped much either.

Hm, I figured as much, it is a very fun game, but it will not appeal to everyone.

Few things, 1. It started out at 30 actually not 40, even in shops it wasn't 40. 2. It's not a big game, it is for us knowledgable gamers but for most people it's not, that's why the price has dropped. 3. Although it's a great game it doesn't have that much replay value and it's quite short.

I agree...It sucks we have to wait $20 is a great price to pay for a 5 hour long game not $40. Also the same reason I have yet to play HS for the PS3.

Yeah, mixed reviews and the short gameplay length made me wait for a price cut, and I doubt that I'm alone there.

I'm not complaining. I'm just pointing out that it has had a price drop very quickly.

I bought it at $59.99 Canadian, I didn't believe reviewers when they said it was that short. Never doing that again -- don't get me wrong, great game, just far too short.

Wow, and to think that was the best game $50 could buy so far this year.

I really hope people support this game. It's absolutely amazing, and is such a different experience from so much other stuff to come out this gen.

this game is good but gets old fast. Think Bayonnetta will be the first AAA game from Platinum Studios.

I haven't seen Mario Bath Time yet...but it would still probably be better than Wii Music.
