Nintendo offers to much games these days! There is simply to much choice. On previous consoles nintendo offered less games but with insane innovation and value. Now that they offer so much quality games the mario games are getting less attention.

Imagine how it is on the systems that get a lot more games now..

I thought it was selling quite well... silly me!*

*A million seller is now bad sales? Especially when it's 20% of a console's userbase?

Exactly. Its like my favourite newpaper motto goes " perspective is everything", its all about how you look at it.

Yep the people are flooded with high quality Nintendo games (not). I think Nintendo swung for the fences in 2013 with Mario and the expectation will not be lowered from now on. I played a bit of Mario and its great. Didn't want to kill it too much for myself for when I get my own Wii U.

It's because it came out a year to late and no one cares about it anymore.
