GameCube Vs. Wii U (Month To Month In NA)

[zorg1000]

 

One thing alot of people forget about is how wonky Nintendo got with some of there major franchises. Mario Sunshine def seemed like a spinoff, Zelda was too cartoony for most people, Star Fox/Donkey Kong/Kirby all switched genre, Metroid is the only one that beneffited from changing.

Just for a second replace Sunshine, Wind Waker, Star Fox Adventures, Kirby Air Ride, Jungle Beat/Konga with Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Star Fox Assault, DKC Returns, Kirby Return to Dreamland and. If thats what GC 2002-2004 line up looked like in addition to Melee, Double Dash, Prime then im certain GC would have sold much better.

That might happen again this gen just in a different way. People are already saying Nintendo played it too safe with NSMBU, the same could be true of Mario 3D World (looks an awful lot like 3D Land), DKC: TF, and Mario Kart 8 and so on.

thats the exact opposite. Wii U major games that we know of so far are pretty traditional while GC were all experimental.
