It never really surprised me how NSMB 2 hasn`t been doing better at retail. Visually, it expresses the same experience for the third time - and on a system that couldn`t grab the casuals like DS. Not to mention that it focused so much on gold coins that it probably have the impression that it was a focus for the game.
Of course that among other things, Wii U`s NSMB suffered from having the 3DS game so close to it`s launch.
Personally, i don`t really feel like jumping into that game after playing the Wii U game. It feels like it`s the same kind of experience. I presume gamers that bought the 3DS game instead might be feeling the same way.
Mario U will always be a good and safe purchase for those who buy a Wii U. Problem is, those are so far, not in sufficient numbers.
Just Dance 2014 is just another victim of Wii U`s lack of appeal. Not to mention that if people who are only interested in buying the game can already do it on Wii. It`s a tough sale.
