A proper non-lazy 2D Mario will slay Animal Crossing and Pokemon. Probably even combined. So I am over here waiting in the background for that to happen. |
The question is, will we see the Wii/DS crowd when it comes to this game, or the Wii U crowd? Here is a list of the most successful games on Switch so far and, granted these numbers are low and therefore old, I'd imagine the placements are fairly similar:
Of the top 9, I'd say Zelda, Splatoon, Arms, Bomberman R, M&R, ultra, and lego all appeal more towards the "hardcore" Nintendo fan, not the casual. That is 7/9. And really, Odyssey is up there too now, as I'm sure is FE Warriors, both of which go towards hardcore. And don't deny Odysssey is hardcore, it's a game made for completionists like we haven't seen since 64. All the Wii era and Wii U era 3d mario games (including 3ds) were more for the casual crowd. So that is 11 of the top 13 games more than likely right now are hardcore, with 1-2 switch and Mariokart being more for the casuals. This is probably a good indication that this will not, in fact, be a generation where super mario bros does wii/ds level in sales, but I could be wrong. If they make Mario Maker 2 instead of a super mario 2d game, then I withdraw my prediction as that will sell bonkers due to the hardcore crowd loving it.
