Yup, looks like it given its appearance on the Plaza. I'd say these Wonderful 101 sales are due to the hardware sales increase because of Mario Kart 8. Good to see. Wouldn't surprise me if we see an increase in software sales for other key exclusives for third parties too such as ZombiU, Rayman Legends and Monster Hunter. If Nintendo had any sense they would get together with Ubisoft and fund ZombiU 2, the first game should have done well over 1m by now if you take digital sales into account. |
You bring up an interesting point. How are other exclusives that should be awfully cheap right now, like MH3U and Zombi U, doing on Amazon?
I'd say if Nintendo had any sense, it would either buy the IP itself or pay for the license to have Retro or the team that does the Fatal Frame games work on it. After Prince of Persia (GameCube), XIII, Splinter Cell (Wii U), de Blob, 'sin's Creed 3 and my short time with Zombi U, I wouldn't trust Ubi with my money to put out a polished game worthy of the "published by Nintendo" label.
Ubisoft makes decent games, but there has yet to be a single game coming from it that I would consider a masterpiece.
