If people were actually aware of this game the old italian plumber would be in serious trouble. But this way, Nintendo can afford to make the same fucking game for 20 more years.


I reported you on the basis of this. Lets see if there is a difference in judgment depending on the company stuff like this is aimed at.

Are you serious?  You think Nintendo WON'T be making Super Mario Bros. 20 years from now?  This comment is not the same as the one you quoted whatsoever.

Regarding the OP, I don't think big budget platformers really entice people much anymore.  The only real exceptions seem to be well known franchises that people are familiar and comfortable with.  People buy Mario because they've always bought Mario, it requires zero effort to get into.  If it were a new IP being introduced now, I don't think it would fare very well, either.

After all, there are dozens of pretty good platformers out there for $15.


They'll probably make SMB in 20 years from now. But will they make "the same fucking game"? Probably not.

 

OT: If Ubisoft actually spent some money on marketing then perhaps sales would be a bit higher.
