Akvod: Would she have had as much fun if the old Mario games were not of great quality? I don't buy sequels for games that I don't remember being good.

Just wanted to add that. Leaving now because the thread seems like it's going to degenerate into something objectifying. Good night.

If you're leaving the thread then I have no reason to respond, since it'll be the same as responding to nobody or having a monologue with myself O.o

 

Good night though, hope you have no hard feelings over our disagreement. But I do think I know my own mother more than you do XD

you may know your mom better, but its not like the words "i got NSMBWii because of nostalgia and multiplayer" came from HER mouth, did it. leave it, its not like you can prove X% of NSMBWii owners got it for Y reason, nor can anyone else prove the opposite.

I don't think my mom's a completely unique case. I said (or at least I hope I said) SOME people. I wanted to get the game because of quality, not out of nostalgia.

And I'm basing my assessment on the fact that I know my mom was constantly talking and asking about Mario and if it's like the old games, and my dad's nightmare stories of mom playing her eyes out when she was younger. Jesus fucking christ, even if I am wrong about my own mother, can you guys agree with me that some people, who aren't particularly interested in gaming, bought the game, and possibly the system because of nostalgia?

I really don't see why there's so much opposition against me.

@the last sentence

probably cause youre trying to explain something as big as WW sales with something as small as your mom, who no one here knows

A question was asked as to what part of NSMBWii could drive people to buy an entire system for the game.

I proposed that perhaps it was nostalgia and the appeal of the local multiplayer that attracted those who aren't ardent gamers and haven't bought a Wii yet.

In order to relate my theory better I used an antecdote. Although my mother did buy the system before the game came out, she did not even touch it, only trying out Wii fit until being dissapointed by it (she also has a DS lite... which she doesn't touch). It was until this game came out that she was interested in gaming again. That is why I thought that there were those like my mom, only who were a bit wiser with their money and didn't buy a system they wouldn't play at all.

Sheesh, do I have to go this indepth? I mean, look at the fucking videos I posted, you guys don't think Nintendo were aware of a certain type of audience when they made them?

your plan fell apart when you couldnt link the accuracy of your anecdote to your theory. you THINKING your mom is a common case really doesnt support it much. weak theories are easily opposed
