It would have been the only game left that could really push the sales of the Wii U. Now it is gonna be on a FAR more popular system half a year before it comes out on the system that needs it. I doubt it pushes more than an extra 100,000 Wii U's... |
But it's still a smart move. The problem here is that they're making a 3DS version, but now that's pointless. The things is, which game does Nintendo have to offer this Christmas to sell the Wii U? Pokémon? Do you think X it's going to sell consoles? Bayonetta 2? The NFC games? Another Mario game? Zelda? No. Those games don't have the great commercial performance that Super Smash Brothers have. Only New Super Mario Brothers and Pokémon games have it, but NSMBU failed, and for known reasons, and Nintendo just doesn't want to release a Pokémon game for home consoles, perhaps due to the high development costs that such a game would require.
And I know many people that are, indeed, waiting for Super Smash Bros. to buy the console, it doesn't matter if it's releasing and first on 3DS as well. Keep in mind that it's going to do an effect anyway, the Wii U version it's now going to do less for the console, but it will help.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
