Get fucking real. Just because you don't like the direction of a specific game, doesn't mean you have to act childish and be "happy" that it's "Failing" (which by the way, it isn't, and given time, it will be a multi-million seller).

Case in point, I personally didn't care for Mario Sunshine, or Wind Waker, or Double Dash, AT ALL. Couldn't stand them. But that didn't mean I wanted them to "Fail". Nintendo has been trying different shit with their franchises since the 80s, since Zelda II (which was a great game IMO). They're always going to do shit like that. And quite frankly, sitting there hoping they do "another Galaxy, 64, or Sunshine", is just as pathetic as hoping 3D World fails. Why? Because if you REALLY want an epic, "Next Gen" Mario, and if you were REALLY genuine about wanting Nintendo to really do something amazing, and not just really fun (which 3D World is), you WOULDN'T want them to just repeat what they've done in the past.

3D World is an incredibly fun and imaginative Mario game. You'd know that if you had actually bothered playing it. And whether it's "what you wanted in a Mario game" or not, you shouldn't hope for ANYTHING Nintendo puts out to fail, especially right now, when they need everything they can get. So I humbly suggest that maybe you improve your entitled attidue just a tad, go ahead and hope they make a Mario game more to your liking next time around, but don't sit there dancing around because you THINK 3D World is failing, just because it isn't exactly your dream Mario game. Nintendo has zero obligation to make the exact Mario game you or anyone else personally wants, and between you, me, and the internet, they've never made a BAD Mario game yet, and that includes the few I don't like, such as Lost Levels and Sunshine.

Soon. I still have Link between worlds and tearaway to open up.

"I'm happy a game that had the chance to restore the Wii U is failing"

"Here are some games that will fail just as much."

Sums up your OP.

WiiU install base: 4 million.
SM 3d World 1st week sales: 400k.
10% of the install base in one week = HUGE sucess.
This is like a PS3 game selling 8 million in one week.

sounds like the OP didnt even play the game. BUT i didnt either, but im biased anyway becasue i loved 3d land...so my opinion is worth just as much. At least he gave a reason why he wants it too fail and it kinda makes sense, even if some dont agree.

Games that sell millions are flops huh? -_-

Oh i didn't know that All Nintendo's Heavy Hitters came out yet. Seriously why all the hate? I wonder

what else are they supposed to do? if not Mario then what?

Wii U is a flop, Mario 3D World is not to blame.

That's like blaming the star player of a sports team who has nothing to work with on his team but a bunch of scrubs.

3D World would've sold 20+ million on the Wii, more than either Galaxy game. It's just that Nintendo made so many catastrophically stupid decisions with the Wii U that they've crippled any chance of a game like 3D World carrying the system. Also fickle casuals have competely betrayed Nintendo.

3D World is IMO the second best game Nintendo has made since the 1990s (post-Ocarina of Time days) ... alongside Super Mario Galaxy. I would edge it over SMG2 and Metroid Prime (GCN). 

Only thing is it's not a commercial failure so the thread is a waste of time
