Pavo i think people would hate Nintendo if the released another mario game soon, Mario Kart would be ok but Another plattformer would be too much no matter how good. People want diversity.

Zelda would be awesome.

since when is mario kart a mario game? it's one of many games WITH mario, but it's not a mario game, wich only had two games on wii u so far.

You're being too harsh on SM3DW. It looks like an outstanding game, I think I might like it even more than Galaxy - which I loved. Its biggest flaw is its name. If it was called Super Mario Universe and had a better intro trailer at E3 I think it would have more hype and sales...but I think it could still sell very well in the long run and it's not like it's doing awful.

You're also putting way too much value in Metroid - the series just isn't that popular as much as some of us love it.

A bold, mature Zelda would get some needed core attention, however.

It looks good and I'll be playing this christmas, but that's not what I expected for a 3D Mario. If I want to reach the finish line, I'll gladly play any of the other 2D Mario options. If I want to explore and collect starts, I'll likely play a 3D Mario. That's all. Not that the game sucks or anything.

Big sigh... apparantly we needed a 100th thread on this. 

Mario released on the 22nd of November. Your data has the spectecular pool of 1 day in the US and zero in europe. Why do you do this? 

Here: The Wii U is dead buried and dead on the afterlife. Happy? Why always hammering on this? Its so dull.

This is not about Wii U being doomed, as it is. This is about having games we like and the freedom to say we don't like the ones out there. Many, including me, were almost censored for saying 3D World announcement was dissapointing or not the game we expected with the argument that it will sell good. Now that it is not selling, can we have now what we want?

I'm sure that didnt stop you. ^^

If your point is you dont like 3D world, you should tell us how the game is not selling and not that the game isnt moving consoles. When you say consoles, you are talking about the Wii U and not the game.

Zero yes you are correct. Anyway Mario Kart will be awesome

It's still not moving consoles. BF week was a poor 200k and some prefer to buy the Wii over the Wii U. I'm pretty sure a 2D Mario should be more a system seller than a 3D one, but we know that if a "bad" (I liked) one like Sunshine can move consoles a good one like 3DWorld should move more.

Didn't Wii U rise to 28k in Japan? Second consecutive week it rises. And it's not really holidays in Japan yet so that argument is invalid there.

Im sorry, what? It isnt the holidays here? Do you think christmas is not celebrated in japan?

Japan's Christmas sales are small bumps in hardware / software.

It's all about Golden Week there.

if anything you are less likely to see Metroid and such. Ninty will try to get their numbers up. Metroid doesnt move consoles or neither does Fzero, they will make games for Wii u that they think will help move the system. Maybe 3ds will have some love

I love Mario Sunshine aswell, but it didnt "save" the GC. It didnt stop the game from beeing fun and the GC to be a system worth having though.

Does this really matter? Again, if your beef is with SM3DW, why are you mentioning hardware sales? You want sunshine 2 is that it? I agree with you, i would love to see sunshine 2. It still has nothing to do with hardware sales though. It has to do with the wish to play a certain game.

This is the exact position they were in with the Gamecube. Their first party games might kick some serious ass, but there is no draw, momentum, enthusiasm for the hardware in general. At this point, I don't see anything, software or hardware-wise, that can change the way thing are going. It's not going to be pretty for Nintendo until they are able release a more exciting home console. Their resources will be much better off being utilized to continue pushing 3DS sales in order to get it to become the best-selling system ever. I have no doubt that their little portable-that-could can beat PS2 one day.

In part yes, I'd like to play another 3D Mario that actually makes me want to hype it. Not exactly a Sunshine 2, but maybe a 64-2 or something completly new. SM3DW feels like a 2.5D or a 2D Mario in a 3D environment.
