Decent legs, I don't think it will make it to a million unless we count digital.

Would be huge on Switch though.

So would a real Paper Mario.

Yep, they are so low that people thinks without a specific kind of combat system is impossible to make a fun game. So terribly low that people thinks they can judge something without even play it.

Not just the combat system. If you played the originals, it was much more than just that. 

I already played Sticker star and watched gameplay of it... I don't need to play this one.

I played the originals, Thousand Year Door was one of my favourites GC games and I don't like Sticker Star at all but I liked Color Splash, you know why? because I actually played it and discover it was a lot of fun, next time you are gonna question other people standarts play the game first, because there is no lower standard than judging from complete ignorance.

Einsam, do you have a link to the interview or wherever they said they were dropping the Sticker Star gameplay?

 

It's all here! http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=223818&page=1

I'm surprised you're going with VGC's numbers. Especially when it's counter to what you'd hope for.

I'll continue to ignore new numbers until very detailed shipment gets posted.

 

I don't know why you're surprised, we're on VGC afterall. :L

If official numbers turn out to be significantly different I'll just update the thread.

Always gotta fall back to the "you haven't played the game!" fallacy eh. Pretty cheap and lazy since you know one obviously isn't gonna go out and buy a game they don't like just to prove how pointless that argument is. To say he is being completely ignorant is actually ignorance on your part for he just said he played Sticker Star and seen Color Splash in action. Perhaps he's not 100% informed, but certainly not 0%. You don't need to know every teeny tiny little detail, just the core gameplay concept/mechanics. He knows enough to made a judgement call, and you'll just have to deal with that.

I'm not an Administrator, but nice try.

But I assume you can actually communicate with one, and you can use the same reasoning to get them to fix my name.

They'll never let you change it! You must always stay as Einsam_Delphin!

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.

Not sure what Ultra smash is, but Color Splash isn't bad in its concept, but rather the execution of that concept (cards replacing battling, mainly), where as amiibo festival was just bad in concept and so was star fox zero. There are plenty of redeemable parts of Color Splash (it is pretty funny, I liked the paint part of the game, I really enjoyed the soundtrack because of how different it felt from other games, and some other things), where as NOTHING and I mean NOTHING was good about Star Fox zero (the same ol' story, completed in 2 hours or less, with barely better visuals than Assault, and hardly nothing changed about the combat which made it feel like an arcade game). Zero was an embarrassment to Platinum and Nintendo and doesn't seem like any effort was given there.
