Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Brawl V.S Mario (Who will be the bigger title)

I think:

Galaxy will get better reviews.

Brawl will sell faster but Galaxy will sell more this year due to coming out first (49 days in 2007 vs. 28, in the USA)

And for the tricky one: Lifetime sales could honestly go either way -- Mario has the advantage of being Mario, but Brawl has the advantage of being the premier online multiplayer Wii game for the forseeable future -- and you get to beat up on all the Nintendo characters plus Snake. I think these more or less cancel each other out, depending on what the true composition of Wii userbase will be.

Brawl is huge with a capital HUGE, but Galaxy is shaping up (from what we all hear) to be like Mario 64 in quality, innovation, fun, etc., which frankly would elevate it to a level unreachable by mortal games.

ioi says Smash Bros. is the smart bet, I presume because of the ridiculous legs it had on the Gamecube, but there is no amount of hype or praise or value comparable to "as good as Mario 64 was."

So I'm betting on Galaxy.

Mario Galaxy is going to sell 10m units this year alone. Brawl doesn't stand a chance.

The most optimistic forecast for Wii sales through the end of 2007 that is at all realistic is a little over 20 million. So you are proposing that, in a month and a half (Galaxy launches Nov. 12) that game will achieve at least 50% attachment. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to

ROFL at that prediction.

Galaxy, This is probably going to be my first post on this forum but I couldn't give a toss about Brawl. Its a fairly good fighter imo. Galaxy is going to be a 'hopefully revolutionary' platformer!

 Yup, it was.

Argh. People who call Brawl a "Fairly good fighter" bother me. There is nothing out there like Smash games. Nothing at all. They are absolutely unique and completely different from other fighters.



Smash Bros. is gonna be MASSIVE. MAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVEEEE.

It will be bigger than Galaxy at both launch and lifetime. 10,000,000 in less than a year I tell you!

They are.  Smash Bros. reinvented the fighting genre and took it to the next level.  Even if Smash Bros. hadn't used the Nintendo cast, I think it still would have been an awesome game because the gameplay is so unique. 



If Brawl has Sonic or Bill Cosby it is guaranteed to win.
