Yikes! Hyrule Warriors and Sonic Mania deserve way better sales than what they got.

Well, Hyrule Warriors was only released in Japan at that time, and only a limited collector edition of Sonic Mania was available physically...

Nice thread,

I'm still lost how Mario Kart can have so many sales lol. Its the same people who had Wii U rebuying lol



 

 

That, and everyone who never bothered with WiiU buying it new.

Mario Kart has long been Nintendo's best seller in console space. Though SMO and Pokemon (particularly when Gen 8 releases) will make one hell of a race out of it.
