Can NSMBUD sell 10 million?

[Slownenberg]

I said earlier in the thread I think it likely will hit 10 million, as people clearly don't care that MK8D is a WiiU port I doubt they will care that NSMBU+L is a WiiU port. I can't say I have any fatigue with the NSMB series because I've only ever played the Wii version and it was very cool. I rarely buy full priced games anymore so I would maybe only pick this up on a whim if it got a 50% discount like I just did recently with Mario + Rabbids. I wouldn't at all mind adding it to my Switch games collection, but before they announced this port I really thought they'd bring a new 2D Mario game (in a new style) to the Switch next year, which I was really looking forward to.

I think the problem with NSMB at this point is that Nintendo has NEVER* repeated the same Mario formula before. I put an asterik there because the only time they ever did was with the Galaxy games but that was a sequel on the same system, not spanning 3 generations and 5 systems. Original SMB was far different than the SMB2 that the west got, and SMB3 was far different again, SMW was again far different and Yoshi's Island was totally different, and obviously SM64 was totally different and Sunshine was completely different than 64, and the Galaxy games were totally different again, and SMBW was totally different than the rest and Mario Odyssey was completely different. But now with NSMB (which was incredible when it came out) has been on four systems in two generations and now they are porting the last one to a new system and generation.

My hope is that this is the last NSMB which they are just porting because they know they will make a boatload of money from it but they are working hard on a totally new 2D Mario game for the Switch with a completely different style and formula.
