Of course, they did, in a dream i had. They were claiming that a shrinking home console market, with deflationary trends and mismatched demographics with aging population, would be best market for Wii U. 

Did you also have the same dream?



Wait until DK is released in all regions before you shit on it/Nintendo.


Also, Retro should have been working on MP4 after Mk7, not DKTF. In an age where FPS game sell very well, PRIME 4 would slay.

There's no excuse

01./00. [WIU] Pikmin 3 (Nintendo) {2013.07.13} (¥5.985) - 92.720 / NEW



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


I think the problem is that, unless a platform game has Mario in the title.. It's going to be a hard sale for any publisher. We saw terrible numbers for Rayman Legends (on all platforms) and also Sonic Lost World - Even though it's arguably one of the larger, sellable and more well known franchises out there.

Saying that, Donkey:Kong Tropical Freeze should do fine in NA. As for the rest of the world; EU, Asia and Japan its more than likely going to bomb.

No it was a very select few who said that, the type of people who jump to conclusions from a couple weeks of sales.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Sales, or lack thereof, don't change the fact that it's a brilliant game and probably the best 8th gen platformer.
