Why?  Every game on other consoles suck.  Only on Nintendo consoles can you play quality games.  Just as long as they're exclusives or pretend exclusives.  If it's multiconsole it's not worth purchasing.

fast racing neo is just a sequel to a wiiware game. probably better visuals and that's it.

Meanwhile, a stack of sealed copies of EA/Criterion's excellent Wii U version of Need for Speed : Most Wanted collects dust in a warehouse.

Because...eh...uh.

Uh.

That is one hell of a reaching comparison... WOW.

Except that I showed an example of a Nintendo fan being downright mad about having exclusive shit. Those games have been hyped by zero Nintendo fans. The difference between them and Shovel Knight is quality, therefore the reason Shovel Knight is hyped by Nintendo fans is its quality. Also, if they treat Shovel Knight like an exclusive, how are they different from Sony fans who treated Destiny as an exclusive or XBox fans who treated Titanfall as an exclusive? You may not have stated the reason for the hype is the Metascore, but that is the conclusion I drew from the information you provided.

As for the bolded, I don't take well to such an uninformed insult.

I will be sure to let you know when it reaches a quarter of a million, provided Yacht Club supplies that information. I'm curious about the 4k you shaved off the figure, but it's hardly worth mentioning.

I don't understand your tone. 108k in four weeks in one region is great. Yacht Club is very happy with their success.

And surely you realize that in order for Nintendo fans to hype multiplatform games, they would require some multiplatform games to hype? Name a multiplatform game coming out on a Nintendo console this year that SHOULD have been hyped by Nintendo fans but was wrongfully ignored.

You can't honestly be surprised that more people are hyped for a game-type that basically none of us have played before (if the promises for NMS pan out) than are hyped for a game-type that we've had before but you for some reason have missed.

edit:  This seems like a case of willful ignorance (most likely) or not being able to think outside of your own opinions.  

When a new Atelier is coming out that's by far my ost hyped game, but I'm not surprised that it isn't common opinion.  You should treat FRN the same way.  

Yeah, you should me examples of shovelware titles, because there's been so many shovelware titles hyped up throughout the ages.

There's been plenty of games before publishers got tired of supporting a fanbase who didn't make them money. 

Need For Speed Most Wanted was mentioned a few posts ago.  It was a late port on the Wii U, but t hat doesn't change the fact that it was the best version of a game that's received high scores.  Tekken Tag Tournament 2 had an exclusive Nintendo themed game mode and Nintendo costumes available in the game, not as DLC.

There are many other games Nintendo fans could have supported, a good chunk of them being the same quality as their PS360 counterparts.  Nintendo fans complained about not supporting games that didn't include an online mode they'd never play more than once, or DLC that wasn't worth purchasing as excuses to why they wouldn't purchase them when it didn't matter if that content was included or not, we know the fanbase would have ignored the games anyways.  For proof, all you need to do is look at the above paragraph showing how Nintendo got the best versions with exclusive content and then search the amount of sales these games have on VGChartz for reference.  It doesn't matter if you get a good version, the fans make generalizations that every third party game has a crappy Wii U port  to back up not purchasing a game they were never interested in to begin with.   

Sounds like you agree with me. If Shovel Knight was bad, it would not have been hyped. Therefore the reason it was hyped is because it is a good game.

As for the rest, so you can't name a game then? That's disappointing. Though based on all of the criteria you named (late port, missing content), it sounds like Nintendo fans should be hyping the shit out of Watch_Dogs right now. For shame! It will sell the worst on Wii U because Nintendo gamers don't buy third party games, not even when they're late and missing content!

You're right, Nintendo fans didn't hype up Need for Speed or Tekken Tag Tournament. Neither did Sony or XBox fans, which is why those games didn't sell well on any platform. Where are you going with this?

....Just a beautiful graphic.
