I'm hyped and will definately get it. It looks great. Having said that, I expect the game to do well, but I don't think it will attract a new audience to the Wii U or anything.

If a new IP of an underused genre on Nintendo platforms can't bring in new players, then nothing can!

Sadly I think its vibrant colors and cartoon art style will hold it back. Sure, I think some 'hardcore' gamers/gaming enthusiasts (as in people who are interested in a wide variaty of games, frequent boards and/or gaming sites.) will be attracted by it and might get a Wii U. On the grand scope of things I expect it won't do a lot. I hope I'm wrong though and it turns out to be a somewhat decent system seller.

The huge CoD, Fifa, GTA, AC... crowd (the 'casuals' not on Nintendo platforms so to say) will not be interested in this.
