Bored loved ones, SM3DW saves the day

Hey guys, yesterday I was with my sister and a friend of hers (male, not her bf), and we were watching Machine Gun Preacher, which they loved. When we were done, we were all a bit drowsy and not in the mood to chat and really enjoyed the movie so weren't up for another one. Anyway we were out of things to do and I rarely get my WiiU out because my bros don't want their kids to get hooked.

So, I thought this would be a good time to whip out the old SM3DW. When I brought it up, it's like they had seen an alien, the guy was extremely surprised I had the U and said that Nintendo was doing badly. I reassured him that I followed Nintendo's sales daily and that Nintendo would be just fine. (for reasons most level-headed posters here know)

Anecdotes aside, I turned on SM3DW without spending any time at all in the OS cause I know that's a major turn off, and got right to the game. I had 1 padlet and a chuckmotion+ combo, so I gave the padlet to my sister and the chuckmotion+ to her bud, and I just watched them play. I was so surprised when I saw 1) how much fun they were having, (and the fun exploded on the Dragon water-ride level with the SM64 music) and 2) how skilled my sister was. :)

After witnessing that, I'm pretty confident that word of mouth will make this game grow stronger and stronger in sales over the next 3 years.

Cheers

Nice to hear it's not all doom and gloom threads about the new systems also pretty cool you having fun at the holiday season with your family, nothing beats that.

Most of the times I break out games to play it's competitive stuff like street fighter or smash brothers melee, always goes down well but you're more spending time trashing your guests than applauding their abilitys heh... maybe I'm just a grinch at christmas :D awww well, enjoy the holidays mate :)
