| curl-6 said: I just can't help but feel that: A: Consumers are in Mario fatigue after NSMB2, NSMBU, 3D Land, and now 3D World all in two years. B: NSMBU wasn't exactly a smash hit system seller. C: It looks to conservative to draw in new consumers or much of the "core", and too samey to draw in casuals who will feel like, "well, we already HAVE a Mario game." |
A: You have to remember that the Wii & DS sold about 250 Million Worldwide while the Wii U & 3DS has only sold around 35 Million so far. Yes, some people owned multiple DS's or Wii's but I would say you have at least 100 Million unique users. The other 65 Million haven't experienced a Mario game since 2010 or earlier. I doubt the GP is completely tired of him.
B: Most people don't buy systems for a single game, NSMBU will definitely be a factor for many people later on and help to sell systems.
C: This is actually possible, the casual might say "we have Mario on Wii already" it will be Nintendo's job to make it look better and different. Being that it's 3D shows that they know that.
