I have a feeling this game is gonna bomb by mondern Nintendo Standards. Like sub 4m LT. I think lots of people are curious but not confident enough for a full price purchase. Anyway good to see it's of a respectable quality, not that there was any doubt. But the reviews aren't glowing enough to reassure me.

Define to me, modern Nintendo standards ?

Cuz as was interviewed by Miyamoto, most of their games are aiming for the 2M mark to break and make their money.

It's needless to make a comparison with their bigger titles like Mario, MK, Smash, Animal Crossing, etc ... when the rest of their library for their lesser known franchise aren't judged on the same principles.

The typical sales achieved by their flagship titles, albeit not the 20m sellings one, but Echoes of Wisdom etc. I mean Kirby received TWO Nintendo directs lol. It feels like its being pushed to be a big holiday title... my direct comparison wouldn't be MK/Smash which of course it was never going to come close.

As things stand I think it may get outsold by Metroid Prime 4. And yeah, I don't expect it be a loss maker by any accounts. When I say bomb I'm talking optics & expectations, not financially.
