Between Mario Maker 2, Luigi's Mansion 3 and the upcoming Pokemon Sword and Shield (just occurred to me this is the first time I think that Pokemon games have the same initial.... as in Blue/Red, G/S, R/S, D/P, B/W, S/M... and it's gonna be Pokemon S/S, it's a good thing those initials have no bad links to them!) then Nintendo is going to have a very jolly Christmas indeed. Unless all of their upcoming titles bomb!, who knows it has happened before like on the Wii-U where a bunch of titles like star fox zero ended up in the yellow on metacritic and helped to tank that system. |
I hardly think there's much of a chance the likes of Mario Maker 2 or Luigi's Mansion 3 will bomb. Those games aren't comparable with Starfox Zero which was a low budget experimental title built around a gimmick already proven to be unwanted. Besides which, Wii U was already doomed long before the likes of Starfox Zero showed up.
