That game isn't a system seller. Nintendo has to change it's image. The dk crowd isn't the crowd that 3rd parties look for. I'm not trying to be a jerk but what adult is going to buy a wiiu for tropical freeze?


I think the core audience for Tropical Freeze are adults... Those who grew up with the SNES DK games.

Wii U's problem is that only some adult Nintendo fans want it. Kids and casual gamers aren't interested anymore.


This is actually probably the truth. The actual demographic for this game, especially on a less popular platform like Wii U is probably hardcore DKC fans who grew up with the series. 

I hope DKC: TF can eek out a respectable 750k LTD on Wii U. I'm not expecting big numbers, but I do think Nintendo will be able to port it to a future portable machine that will hopefully be more popular than Wii U and can't a second wave of sales for the game there.
