OT - Yes, people are hyping this games, but essentially in a sales sense. But it is unfair to compare to WSR and Muramasa (or Madworld). This is a ... Mario! No hype needed. Now, it clearly won't sell DS like numbers but it'll sell. And I think everyone is pretty clear on that. Now, you call this game core but Mario is pretty main stream so will surely bot fall the Metroid route. And I think Nintendo will take all the hype they can get. I think the only doubt is its eventual impact on HW numbers. Here, you hear a bit of everything and I am sure some might be disappointed due to exagerated expectations. |
Why the hell not? I keep hearing this and I don't understand why!
Nobody was saying that Mario Kart Wii could beat Mario Kart DS but guess what? It did! How? Basically because it looked fun to play and because it was very easy for somebody to come over to a Mario Kart Wii owners house and try it for themselves. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is exactly the same except it's a main entry 2D Mario platformer. Not to mention that it will be the big game for the Wii for the first non-supply constricted-first price cut-holiday.
How is it CLEAR that it won't sell 19 million units? Sure that is a lot but how can you be so sure?
