Knack 2 versus Mario Switch

Knack is, arguably, the greatest game I have ever played; better than Dark Souls, Chrono Trigger, Planescape, FF6, Zelda, Metroid Prime. It deserves to sell better than Mario Switch, which will probably just be another rehashed Mario game that scores in the 50s on Metacritic, just like Mario Galaxy 1 and 2.

I agree with everything you said. And those reviews on Metacritic are all fake, if you dig the database the average is just what you put =p

Knack and Mario in the same sentence?

Oh my, how the mighty have fallen.

Yes, Knack is on the canvas, but it's going to stand tall again.

Who will top the charts?

Let's never forget that Knack was outperforming Mario on UK.

How much did Knack sold? I know MK8 did 8mil+ In a 13mil user base. 

I'm talking about Mario platformer not Kart man.

Knack sold almost 2M and Mario 3D World 5M. But in UK for quite some time the rank showed Knack above Mario. This part isn't a joke.

I just want to say that this thread if funny.

Btw, let's see... the worst selling 3D Mario ever (3D World) sold... like, 5.2m according to Nintendo. That's on a 13m install base.

So, unless you guys think Knack 2 will go on to sell 5m+ and that the new Mario (and Switch) will bomb harder than 3D World/Wii U, nope.

Sorry guys, I love Knack and I think it got undeserved hate, but there is no way to compare it to 3D Mario (sales or quality wise).

Well, you aren't considering all the digital sales. Considering a launch game that everybody wanted to play nothing short of 60% digital attach ratio is acceptable, so in the end Knack outsold Mario 3D World =p

But why? Can somebody please make an Uncharted 4 vs Devil's Third retrospective thread? Anyways, the answer is obviously Knack 2. I will bet that "Knacking" becomes the most popular term for rubbing one out before the end of 2020.

I haven't played Devil's Third so what is the connection point?

knacking seem so kinky.

I think a better comparison would be Uncharted 4 and Valkyrie Drive: Bhikhuni.

Please post screenshots, I guess the boots in Valkyrie looks better than Drake old ass.

Are we really comparing Knack with Mario? :/ :O

Yep we are. In UK Knack was outselling Mario for quite some time.

Is this serious question!? Comparing one of biggest Nintendo IP with niche game that really nobody wanted!?

If we look VGC numbers, Knack sold 1.7m on PS4 instal base, SM3DW sold 4.2m on Wii U instal base, and now we will have brand new 3D Mario like launch title for Switch that will probably sell at least around 5m LT.

Hey, don't say nobody wanted, that hurts... I want Knack 2, and if you look at this thread or the one about the reveal you'll see that a lot of people wanted it.

Yes, PS4 install base at the release of Knack was 0, fantastic sales right? Selling 1.7M on a 0 userbase. Comparing Mario 3D World that sold 4.2M on a much bigger install base.
