Forums - Nintendo - DKC : Tropical Freeze SOLD OUT on launch day (in my local area, how about yours?)

Hard to say with Wii U games, it's not like retailers have many of them in stock to start with. Hopefully this is actually good sales, and not just low stock.



Around the Network

I wanted to buy it next week so I didn't go to a shop. Now I am a bit worried O.o



I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

ShopTo have it in stock and they had already sold out of their first batch of Danganronpa at this point so that is clearly conclusive that DKC:TF is bombing harder than a Vita game...

Nah in all seriousness, I don't know if we can read too much into stores running out of stock unless we know how much stock they ordered in the first place. So for sales, we don't know how good it is, on a different note however, it does mean that the game is exceeding some retail locations expectations which can only be a good thing regardless of the end sales tally as it should help improve Wii U software presence.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Incredible game, i put it on par with Mario 3D world. Wii U is deffo king of the platformers.



That game isn't a system seller. Nintendo has to change it's image. The dk crowd isn't the crowd that 3rd parties look for. I'm not trying to be a jerk but what adult is going to buy a wiiu for tropical freeze?

I think the core audience for Tropical Freeze are adults... Those who grew up with the SNES DK games.

Wii U's problem seems to be that only some adult Nintendo fans want it. Kids and casual gamers aren't interested anymore.



The amount of anecdotal-ness in this thread is making me go crazy.

Your title made me happy until the parenthesized part.

Who cares If the game Is a system seller? Gamers should just care about the games rather than how much Is selling lol. And I bought a Wii U to play nintendo games Including the new DKTF ( which I love ) am an adult btw :P

I guess at 24 I still have a lot of growing up to do.

Seriously tho, what's with that comment.

I would have if I didn't already buy one for Mario 3D World, and I'm 25.
