I'm one of the few people in this world that REALLY wants a Super Mario Sunshine 2.

Sunshine emphasized exploring and finding secrets everywhere. It also introduced fun, innovative, new game mechanics that made perfect use of the ultra-pressure sensitive gamecube controller.


Wii U doesn't have analog triggers/shoulder buttons, unfortunately.


I know . . . that is literally the only thing I don't like about my Wii U. Pressure sensitivity on the gamecube was way past cool!



     
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.

About the same, 64 and Galaxy both sold 10m+, while Sunshine and Galaxy 2 sold around 7m. This makes me believe install basr doesnt matter when it comes to 3D Mario, the mainline series does 10m+ while spin offs/sequels do around 7m



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

but with less install base penetration in the US.


Very interesting prediction, is there some reason you think this?

Because Sunshine was the flagship game for the GC and would be considered a must own. Wii U has Nintendo Land and NSMB U competing for such a position.

Nice extrapolation from four datapoints under wildly different conditions.



Kind of surprised by the results considering "More" was winning by the end of the first day and for most of the day.

between galaxy 1 and 2



Switch!!!

Bump.

So now that we've actually seen the game, what does everything think now?

Definitely no.

Definitely less (I had voted less). Less than 3D Land on 3DS too. Wouldn't say it'll go so low as Sunshine, but I don't think this is the 3D Mario game everyone's waiting for.

3D Land on 3DS could very well pass Galaxy soon enough, though.
