Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Paper Mario Color Splash sold better than expected. <(-_-<)

Let me be the first Paper Mario hater to admit to being wrong on this. As I believe the game to be on the same level as amiibo Festival, Starfox Zero, and Ultra Smash, I predicted it would fare no better than them, so 500k at most lifetime (I might try to find the prediction thread for reference). At first it seemed like I was gonna be correct, as the game didn't even break six figures on it's launch week, however the game had unexpectedly decent legs.

As of the latest chart update (April 15th), it sits at 780k, beating out the aforementioned games and my prediction. Wont reach a million but will probably end up between 800k-900k. By no means an amazing number, still falls short of all it's predecessors, but it's not a bad number either for a low budget game like this, definitely made Nintendo money. Thankfully there's no need to fear that this could mean they'll continue with the series like it is, as they already said they were dropping the Sticker Star formula.

Game is pretty decent so you can drop the stupid title.



I hope they continue it just to spite you.

Do you think that any thread title praising a game is also stupid and needs to be dropped?



What was so wrong with it? I mean I never played any of the other Paper Mario games but the writing in that game is some of the most entertaining I've seen, and those visuals were amazing, definitely one of the best looking Wii U games out there.

It got a solid 76 on metacritic too; http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii-u/paper-mario-color-splash

How petty, but thankfully they already said they'll be using a different gameplay style. Doesn't necessarily mean it'll be good but atleast there's a chance.



You people complain about recycling a lot from Sticker Star, but I don't see the issue. After all, recycling paper is good for the environement. XD



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Well, that's good. The game is quite great, so I was hoping it would sell pretty well, and I have even tried Sticker Star, just to see what the commotion was all about, and that game indeed is trash. Color Splash definitely improved on the game quite a bit.

This game is gorgeous and deserve better sales.



Thread titles must be accurate, there's no game called Color Trash so I changed your thread title.
