OoT is far more popular than WW. Is one of the few Zelda games that sold better in Japan compare to NA (considering attach ratio of course). As far as I know all those other HD games you mentioned were released at a time when the PS3 had a much much bigger install base than the Wii U, hence the difference.


But it's also one of the most readily-available Zelda games, too.

I do understand the popularity argument, but if people really wanted to play it - they have the original release; the limited edition GC release of Wind Waker (which included Master Quest) and then it's available on the Wii's Virtual Console.

Wind Waker, as far as I'm aware, has never been re-released outside of the original print run on the Gamecube.

Well WW is a bit of a flop :/ didnt effect the WiiU hardware.

So many Vita titles in the charts yet hardware sales stay the same :/

Disappointing week.

Does WiiU have any games from now on until years end that are really going to push the console other than Mario 3D?

zelda numbers don't surprise me in the least. a remake of a game that wasn't particularly well received the first time on struggling hardware was never going to do all that well.


MH continues to impress. rol called me out for saying "grrrr" to the original MH announcement and this is really why. MH going to 3DS was, imo, the killing blow for vita.

What did I say back then?

On topic: The Wind Waker sales are abysmal. There's no defense for it, because it's a bigger flop than The Wonderful 101. Another lesson for Nintendo for where they shouldn't take their business. Hopefully all the evidence that keeps piling up gets it into their heads that such a console will always fail. We'll see what they've learned in a few years.


Things will be fine: Eternal Darkness 2: The Lovecraftening will save the Wii U!

well of course, MHP3 has holiday boost to it, if it didn't it be under MH4 (MH4 currently has over 2.65mil)

Dont forget the shortages. Noone can buy MH4 at retail now. This mean that a shitload of people will go digital. So, at retail it will prolly never overtake MHportable 3.
