game will do just fine

This'll be a fun thread to bump! Also lol at the idea that 74 is a bad score.

yeah that kirby's epic yarn has been in and out the top 100 for years here 

2m is the floor imo. Ceiling is possibly 3m+. This is due to many factors, ie'. Strong Amazon preorders (It sold out in U.S. and U.K. Amazon!) Not much competition, 1st big Nintendo game this year and the "Switch effect", the fact that most Nintendo franchises are breaking their series' records on the Switch. I think the metascore will creep back over 75 too, so it will be seen as adequate. It seems to me those subpar scores are a little unfair, slating it for being too easy even though there are harder modes postgame.

I'd take the bet on the 1 million thing, though. Avatar control, by end of year?

There is a reason why we get Kirby games on a yearly basis and have gotten multiple games in several years including spinoffs.

They are low cost and usually sell pretty well. They are not going to do blockbuster numbers most games but are very solid in terms of sales.

Half a mill on wiiu and u think this sequel will flop just because its not your type of game? Ill be this for my 5 yr old daughter perfect for her.

Given that I've been unable to order it on amazon for a few days with the physical copies being sold out, I rather doubt it's at risk of being a "flop".

Ya pretty much all Kirby games score in the 70-80 range.

It's not a bad score at all. It's just not a score that makes people buy the game. Like, Mario Odyssey and BoTW gathered a lot of attention due to their scores. 74 is just average.
