Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Kotaku butthurt at Nintendo and telling you not to buy Mario&Sonic

I remember when this game was selling poorly initially, like the first game did, a few people used it as 'proof' that 3rd party games can't sell on the Wii. Now when it's outselling many 'hardcore' games like Bayonetta, there is a meltdown over it.

They also bemoan that NSMBWii already outsold Galaxy.

What total arrogance that they try to tell people what they should and shouldn't buy (not the same thing at telling people what games they think are worth playing).

IGN does the same thing, which is one reason I no longer go there.



They were making a joke. Even said they bought a copy themselves

I haven't, but I would like to.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

I"m rather surprised this game sold so well. I'm guessing people thought the 1st one was a good game. Despite the low reviews. Etheir though.

I thought they said to buy games not to not buy them. Make up your mind

It has Mario and Sonic in it and its about the Olympics. All three are very popular and are all listed in the title. It makes sense that it can sell so well.




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

They were failing at their joke, too.
They are taking a stab at it while trying very hard to make it looks like a joke.



yes like people actually read katoku




Oh boy, you Wii fans get upset easily.

This was a comment for people who love classic Sonic games. It would have even been cool to see Sonic and Mario in some sort of Adventure game. But a party game... no thanks. That appeals to a different audience.

"Oh boy, you Wii fans get upset easily."

No, it's people getting a comment out of context. ANYONE can be set off by that.
