I'm not sure about that myself. I don't know if Mario and Zelda would shoot up the sales of the NX. If it does though, I'd be pretty glad. Just me being a little pessimistic and cautious. |
A big part of poor Wii U sales was that the big games are too few and far in between, it hasnt been uncommon to go 3-4 months between big releases and some of the big hitters simply released too late to make a big difference.
Obviously Wii U has more problems than that but i believe it would have done quite a bit better if games like Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Splatoon, Mario Maker all released in the first 18 or so months with smaller supoort titles mixed in.
Take a look at Wii, here is the lineup of Nintendo-published titles in the first 18 months.
November 2006-The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Wii Sports, Excite Truck
January 2007-WarioWare: Smooth Moves
February 2007-Wii Play
April 2007-Super Paper Mario
May 2007-Mario Party 8
June 2007-Big Brain Academy, Pokemon Battle Revolution
July 2007-Mario Strikers Charged
August-Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
October 2007-Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast, Battalion Wars 2
November 2007-Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Super Mario Galaxy
January 2008-Endless Ocean
March 2008-Super Smash Bros. Brawl
April 2008-Mario Kart Wii
May2008-Wii Fit
It had a really good range of small to big & casual to core. Thats whats Wii U needed and what NX needs.
