I'm not proud of jumping the gun like that being such a plan-minded individual. I always use foresight & forethought to a maddening degree. I had no doubt Wii Fit would have the "line around the block" presence I was expecting for SMG. The fact that some have commented on buyers picking up SMG along with the whole Wii/Wii Fit package lets me know that it was Wii Fit which caused the uncanny valley on the sales charts throwing off many of our expectations. SMG will be fine in Japan & I shouldn't have worried so much. I got too caught up in the excitement & missed the big picture. But that reaction was a reflection not of bitterness that Mario Parties sell well but more that the tree trunk of all the branches didn't match. It was more like what are the spinoffs without the original show? John Lucas |
We forgive you, John. 
With you at the first, with you to the last.
