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.

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.

Well you got me there, but even taking out the possibility that it is a 64 styled game, it'd kill Knack 2. Both franchises aren't even near the same level. What's more important is the pricing of the Switch.

Knack is going to smack Mario around the face again

KNACK 2 BEBY!!

Is this serious question!? Comparing one of biggest Nintendo IP with niche game that really nobody wanted!?


If we look VGC numbers, Knack sold 1.7m on PS4 instal base, SM3DW sold 4.2m on Wii U instal base, and now we will have brand new 3D Mario like launch title for Switch that will probably sell at least around 5m LT.

Knack and Mario in the same sentence?

Oh my, how the mighty have fallen.

Random guy on the internet mentions two games in one sentence, result: the bigger one has fallen. Amazing.

Knack is the Lord and saviour of the PS4. So it would be akward if it loses wouldn't it.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Mario and it's not gonna be close, even if the Switch sells only half as many units as WiiU.

This has got to be satire. I am one who enjoyed Knack, but if you think it can beat Mario EVEN IF the switch is a flop, pass whatever the hell you are smoking because that has got to be some goooooood shit.

Is this a joke thread? Mario will obviously sell more.

I think the success of the PS4 is getting to some people's heads to be honest :P People always underestimate how volatile the gaming market is. For example on this very site from 2007-2010 people thought everything Nintendo would ever touch would turn into gold. Even suggesting the "Wii 2" would sell less than 50 million units was considered an act of craziness.
Today, people think Sony will be on top forever. Because we always exaggerate the likelihood of things staying the way they are.
