Mario Kart is arguably Nintendo's largest IP. You are saying Super Smash Bros., which is possibly not even among Nintendo's Top Three IPs, will make more of a difference than Mario Kart? That makes complete sense.

Also, how much do you plan the Wii U will increase due to these games in general? "Taking it home" is possibly the most broad prediction I've seen. That could mean these games would fail and take the Wii U back to the trash.

Be careful man! Being optimistic on this forum is treated like a crime, especially if you are a Nintendo fan. You will be laughed at, ridiculed and called delusional.

Hahaha, what a ridiculous statement. You are clearly delusional.

I disagree, that's essentially the definition of a killer app.

I actually meant "killer app" as it is understood by the majority, it was largely hinted at when referring to its definition.

I'm calling it now, both of them will underperform.


Relative to what?

To sales? Expectations for Wii U are very low. Anything, and I mean anything that crosses half a million in sales is considered a huge WiiU 'success'.

To quality? They'll probably still be great games anyway.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

What will save it though, is smash bros. Let me ask you this, who in their right mind, would not want this game after seeing last night's direct? No one that's who.

Only hardcore fans watched the direct.  


500K people in one day is a lot. So we can expect a lot as well. 

No it isn't. Nearly 50 million watched the E3 presentations. That's a lot of attention.

Oh lol. 

I dont think that will h..h...hh...hhapn...pp...nnn

MK has never been the best selling game on a handheld or console. 

I think people who prefer Nintendo should just be happy that they get to play ninty games in HD. That definition wont happen. If it does it will be the first genthat a single game wins it all.

Where did I say SSB would do better than MK?
