Who will top the charts?

Let's never forget that Knack was outperforming Mario on UK.

How much did Knack sold? I know MK8 did 8mil+ In a 13mil user base.

Neither

Amiibo Festival 2 will definitely outsell these games combined

I don't see the need for comparison. Mario is going to kill Knack II, especially if Switch is $250 and Mario Switch returns to a collect-a-thon style game.

I don't think returning to collectathon means anything for sales.

I just want to say that this thread if funny.

Btw, let's see... the worst selling 3D Mario ever (3D World) sold... like, 5.2m according to Nintendo. That's on a 13m install base.

So, unless you guys think Knack 2 will go on to sell 5m+ and that the new Mario (and Switch) will bomb harder than 3D World/Wii U, nope.

Sorry guys, I love Knack and I think it got undeserved hate, but there is no way to compare it to 3D Mario (sales or quality wise).



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Knack 2 will be the Red Steel 2 of Knack.

Galaxy vs. 3D World would say otherwise. People want a return to 64 styled gameplay or at least anything that isn't the 3D styled gameplay.

But why? Can somebody please make an Uncharted 4 vs Devil's Third retrospective thread? Anyways, the answer is obviously Knack 2. I will bet that "Knacking" becomes the most popular term for rubbing one out before the end of 2020.

Every Nintendo franchise say a huge decline from Wii to Wii U.   Going from a system with a 100m+ user base to a system with a user base under 20m is going to lead to a decline.   That's like saying people don't like the anti-grav feature in Mario Kart 8 because Mario Kart Wii sold so much better.

I think a better comparison would be Uncharted 4 and Valkyrie Drive: Bhikhuni.

I want to play both of those games equally. True story. :)
