Forums - Nintendo - Did you know that Smash and Mario Kart were the top two games on the Gamecube?

Yep, I did know that. And guess which two titles couldn't stop the failing of the GC?

LOL. That's my point kinda. A lot of people expect the Wii U to beat GC after those games launch. But Nintendo are way behind GC saleswise right now. It would seem to me the best Nintendo could hope for is that the games boost sales enough to catch up to the GC... which would be a massive feat.

That's at most what I am expecting. If things don't start to ramp up after the release of these games (which, statistically, they should) then my point and many others about the Wii U being toxic will only further be proven.

lol what makes you think anyone didn't already know this!?

i hope that happens also on wii U.
but this time, with MK8 above smash.

cause of that i think wii U can achieve GC levels.

Guess what comes out this year on the Wii U? Did you guess avid vgcharter?

Smash U and MK 8. Both the GC editions dominated the mediocre(my opinion) GC mario game. With this newfound knowledge in mind, what do you think this means for the Wii U now?        * Does this change anything with your current Wii U predictions?

Double Dash and Melee's complete inability to push units, despite software sales that would be amazing even by today's standards, are the main reason I don't expect Smash U or MK8 to do much for the platform.

As strange as it is for me to say this, I expect it to follow Pachter's prediction; it will sell great because existing WiiU owners will snatch it up, not because it expands the customer base in a major way.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

Lol yes, we knew this. Changes nothing.

and so will be on WiiU
WiiU is the new gamecube.... awesome games... rubbish sales!

Which as Nintendo fan would not hurt me....But I know Nintendo needs profit to make games



Switch!!!

To say that Melee and MK Double Dash "dominated" Mario Sunshine looks like quite the overstatement to me, they sold about 600-800k more...

As others have said this doesn't really change my prediction either, most peole included MK8 and Smash when they made their predictions.
