I don't see your point...
Mario has always been verry colourfull and is about collecting stars and rescuing a princess in a pink dress that is called Peach, i don't see how that is any different in sunshine or the galaxy marios. It has alway been and probably always will be extremely cheesy.
Also i don't get how SSB was cool on the wii and not on the gamecube... same for MK, heck double dash was probably the bes MK there is. At least it's the one i enjoyed the most.
Same goes for New super mario bros, i just dont see a distionction in artsyle from the games mentioned above, so how does it miraculously become cool if the others were not...
Then there is Zelda... Now that WW remake must really be turning people off from buying a WiiU, since, well you know it's a cartoon and all and it's absolutely uncool to have a game like thos on my console. Also don't tell me the direction they were going for in SS is more apealing in anyway...
About the box being purple... well you might have a point there but personally i didn't mind and neither did any of my frends that had one. |
The only problem is there aren't many people like you and your friends. Less than 22 million. Most people did not like the look of the cube, or the theme of the games, no matter how great they were.
It's almost impossible for most grown men to say "Mario Sunshine" without sounding feminine. This is a problem. Especially when selling games to insecure 16-26 year old males. This problem does not exist with saying Mario Galaxy. If you don't understand this concept, I can't explain it to you.
Windwaker on Wii U is not the main Zelda title for WiiU.
I did not like the direction of SS. Nintendo did not like the sales of SS. Expect it to look more like TP or OoT.

Ok i think i get what you mean but if nintendo wanted to carter to the "insecure 16-26 year old males", than any game with Mario in it be it galaxy or suneshine is not really the right thing... They'd have to put as much gore and violence in their games as possible for those people as to make them feel more manly and less the whimps* they really are...
*and yes any person that skips on something as the gamecube just because it's purple and because one of it's biggest games has "sunshine" in the name deserves to be called a whimp.
I'm not saying that anyone that didn't get a gamecube is one but if these were the only reasons for not getting one...

Nintendo just needs to walk the line. It's fine line. No need for gore or sex. But you can have a game with jumping and mushrooms and turtles, without it being too child-like. A watergun is too childlike. Mario planet jumping is just right. Galaxy also appealed to the retro gamer in those that grew up with Mario in a way that Sunshine never would. Sunshine was also flawed in that it could be perceived as a side story, not the next great Mario installment. Side stories never sell as well, see GOW, GOW, AC, FF and every other franchise.
Not wanting to be seen with a Gamecube doesn't necessarily make you a whimp. Maybe a little insecure. But it also can make you practical. I like women. I entertain a lot and have parties with women there. Women liked Wii. They love the Wii U tablet. But my place is very mature annd masculine looking. I'm an executive. Having a bright purple box would make me come off as immature. Women like maturity. Therefore, from a simple practicality point of view, there is a negative impact to me having a purple box in my house.
