No, for me a fanboy is someone who says that, for exaple, a PS4 game is much much better then a Wii U game. And if I disagree with someone, that ok, I even like that. I love peoples opinions ;)

If you actually love opinions, you should accept that for some people Knack is more fun or more refreshing. Quality is subjective no matter what everyone says. I read a review from a certain website on Knack and the reviwer gave it a 4/10 and hated it, but then said that his (or someone else's) children loved it and even showed a video of them playing it. It's possible that it's more fun for people around 7 or something. Who knows? But to call this people "fanboys" for calling it better, is by all means unfounded and unncessary. Even if you have played AND beaten both games. 


I had fun playing Sonic 2006(seriously). That doesn't change the fact the game is absolutely atrocious.

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

You don't seem to understand OP. Sometimes...England is exactly the same as the whole world. But only when Nintendo gets boned in the ass.

Well, it was the UK only where Knack outsold Mario2.5World, & it happened again that Knack is once again outselling Mario the week ending dec 28th in the UK apparently.

 

People sayng "Flop" & "Bomb" where refering to the fact that Mario had little affect in boosting Wii U console sales.  Mario could sell 5 million in the next week, but if no new consoles sell, then was it a system mover?  A system mover is what Nintendo needs & what people said Mario would be, but it seems to have had little affect in that department.

If SSB & MK don't prove to be huge system sellers then The Wii U is cooked.

In the UK 3D world is gone from the top 40. Knack is still there.

Mario is a 2.5D game in the same way GTA V is a top down 2D game. A bad and overrated one at that, but apparently always scores super high on Metacritic lol.

Anyway, Mario 3D platformers have never been huge system sellers. They never have huge openingweeks like some games on the PS3/Xbox360(most of which aren't very good at all like Fifa and CoD). They sell well in the long run. Wii U doesn't need one good game, but multiple good games like Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros 4, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Zelda, 2D Mario games, etc

I don't believe the comparison was made to say that Knack would do better in lifetime sales. I believe the comparison was made to say that a game as horrible as Knack was even able to top Mario on launch week. Mario games normally sell over half a million on launch week in the US. 3D World only did 150k in the US. That's not saying anything about the quality of the game (I have it and I love it), but it's reflective of the grim situation the Wii U is in.
