But now that I think of it, I also thought it wasn't a good idea to release NSMBUDX, Yoshi's Crafted World and Mario Maker 2 so close together but Nintendo did it anyway and overall sales for all of them weren't really affected. |
Why are you assuming they would cannibalize? There's nothing stopping people from buying multiple games in the same genre. I doubt people go "ok this year I'm going to buy 1 platformer, 1 puzzler, 1 shooter." Plus the reverse can be said too, that more games of a genre means more fans of that genre will be made/buy the system therefore increasing the sales of games in said genre.

I do think the Switch version would be the time for me to get back into it, the handheld/home console hybrid fits this series perfectly I think, and it would be cool to take advantage of the more solid online functionality this game will no doubt have. I will probably hold off for quite a bit on this one though. I'm honestly thinking of holding off new game purchases (review copies excluded) for like 6 months to a year just so I can take the time to catch up on my huge backlog. |
Whenever you do pick it up, you're likely in for a treat mate, the series has improved quite a lot over the last 15 years, and portability n online is really nice for a game like this.
