If there is a similar story elsewhere, then that is great to hear for a good new IP. Just can't see the legs being that great.

I haven't done much of the single player campaign. I've spent the day roaming around in Witcher 3, but I will be on multiplayer tomorrow. Maybe we can get a few rounds in.

So now we see that yes, marketing was Nintendo's issue all along. lol

Pretty much. 

Nintendo will find some other way to justify that its two most advertised games were among the best FW launches on the console. I'm not saying that they would have turned bombs into 2m+ sellers with a little more advertising, but I am saying that each and every one of their games would sell better with bigger ad campaigns. That's why so many other companies can turn out complete garbage and pull down big sales.

If Ninty isn't confident enough in a game to put some ad money behind it - they should just make another game. Every game (no matter how good) bombs when nobody knows about it. 

I wish they advertised the hell out of Bayonetta 2. Honestly, that game is a masterpiece and so deserving of a million seller. It may have moved some more consoles too with better advertising. Maybe they will learn their lesson with their next system.
