Not sure what, if anything, this really means. We'll see if it translates to sales.

Keiner kann ihn bremsen, keiner macht ihm was vor. Immer der richtige Schuss, immer zur richtigen Zeit. Superfussball, Fairer Fussball. Er ist unser Torschützenkönig und Held.

Any major announcement about Smash is guaranteed to be trending on Twitter instantaneously. After all, the hype for this game is through the roof.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

They had all those Treehouses which provided more info about Nintendo for like 3 days. I don't really see how they're paying the price.
