That's why he needs to be fired.

Wouldn't this indicate the opposite, if he felt that way yet still okayed the risk of a large marketing campaign?


Maybe... but he still needs to be fired. 

The Playstation team were shocked and unsure why PS4s were selling. Should they be fired too? x )


Yes, so that Nintendo can hire them.

I'm surprised too, thought that it would get 1M lifetime so I guess good marketing really paid off

Lol, it would be really weird to see them work together now, and interesting.

I don't want to be negative being Nintendo is my favourite company but if you starve a dog for months and throw them something to eat they will devour it.

Iwata is out of touch. But we already knew that. I wonder how many great games have been cancelled prior to release because senior management didn't 'get' them.

Almost everyone on the internet thought this game was going to bomb before it released... Gaf was especially funny.

So many people lying here on a simple poll, I voted no, I expected 1 million lifetime sales.

More than a million copies sold in less than a month from a new IP on the smallest userbase of this gen? People thought it would do great, but those numbers are surprisingly good.

Let's hope this leads to Nintendo making more new IPs and take some risks from time to time.


Couldn't have said it better.

He relies too heavily on old IP's and probably didn't expect much out of a new IP.



irstupid on 03 July 2015

I did not think it would do this good. Thought people were too immature to buy the game.

Yeah, I was confident it would. A strong aesthetic (always important for the Nintendo audience), an intruiguing new gameplay mechanic and a big marketing campaign. All of the key elements for success.


I literally have no clue what this game is.  Going to have to look up some YouTube videos.
