Its ridiculous. Rayman Legends on Switch was like 40 bucks. That's also a way better game.

I wouldnt call way better game, also NSMBUD comes with Luigi DLC that was selling seperate so game has tons of content (164 courses) but in any case NSMBU on Switch alone will destroy in sales Rayman Legends probably even if count all version of game and despite game will be $60 on Switch. :)

Simple not just that Mario is much stronger IP but NSMBU game has much wider appealing than Rayman Legends.

Well Rayman Legends does come with most levels from Rayman Origins as well though. Plus the Switch version has both the WiiU version and the regular version of the game.

The one thing that makes me happy about this port is that it means that the 2D Mario team has been actively working on something since the end of 2015 and it isn't a NSMB game.  I don't know if that thing is the next step in 2D Mario, a new Mario Maker game, Pikmin 4 or a new IP but whatever it is has probably gotten a proper 3 year development cycle and will probably be released in 2019.

I want to say "no" mainly because I feel like NSMB fatigue has set in and people really just want to see something new from 2D Mario. High chance that it's really just the gaming community that feels this fatigue, and that the millions of more casual players will be happy with NSMBU though.

For now I think that the game will sell well, but probably not as high as 10m.

I have zero interest in the game and honestly hope it under-performs with like 3M lifetime. Realistically, I know that won't happen but I want Nintendo to transition away from these lazy ports. I wasn't crazy about this game on the Wii U and couldn't be less excited about a game being brought over.

Give me a Deluxe (fixed) Wonderful 101 and Xenoblade Chronicles X and then we're talking.

What makes a port "lazy"?

Also, would TLOU and the Uncharted Collection  qualify as "lazy ports" for PS4?

No.
The NSMB series is like the FIFA of 2D Mario platformers and people have woken up to that.
A real 2D Super Mario Brothers will still sell gorillions, but Nintendo needs to make one that is actually ambitious, pretty to look at, and creative before it happens again.
How is it like Fifa exactly? That's an annual series while NSMB is one per system. Even if that were true, what makes you think people have just now woken up to that? And even if that's true, why would that mean NSMB sales falter when Fifa sells uber well?

By "like FIFA" I mean that it feels completely soulless  and sterile, and factory-made.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Shouldn't be a surprise regardless of what some forum goers say NSMB is very significant as since the series was created only 3 franchises have manage to outsell it on a platform's LT, Mario Kart, Pokemon and Wiisports mean it has always been in the top five sellers of every platform it has had a release on.

This game will be one of the top selling games in Switch's LT easily.

NSMBU and NSL were my least favorite NSMB games, so I can't exactly hide my disappointment...
But seeing as MK8 Deluxe is ready to coast by 10 million, I think NSMBU Deluxe also has a very good chance of reaching 10 million...
I have a lot of good memories playing New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros Wii, so I'll always have good will for the series, but it definitely seems as though the possibility of a new installment in the series on Switch is quite low...



Have a nice day...

You want Nintendo to stop making ports, but then you ask for more ports.

Fatigue? It's been 6 years since the last NSMB game, so I don't see where you're getting that idea from.

Well the majority doesn't share that opinion, or atleast it isn't stopping them from buying the games.

Yeah, I mean people on forums can say they don't want NSMBU port, but reality is that IP is very popular and actually very good fit for Switch, so it will have very good sales even if Zelda BotW, Odyssey, MK8D, Splatoon2, Smash Bros, Pokemon and Animal Crossing will all sell better.
