Mario kart wii deserves it. But I feel sorry for brawl in others.

 

Brawl is doing fine.It's still selling steady.

Just because MK Wii is climbing skyscrapers and razing whole city blocks doesn't mean that Brawl isn't devouring an entire school bus full of children.

So yeah, the 3 best selling console games this generation are on Wii and soon the 4 best selling console games will be on Wii. Will there ever been a time when the 5 top selling games are all on Wii?

SSBB is simply not playable by everyone. Mario Kart next to Wii Sports is probably one of the most intuitive games for non-gamers to pick up, yet MK has enough depth to interest more experienced gamers.

Do you think SSBB's limited appeal is due to the characters involved, the need to unlock so many people through the adventure mode (or other ridiculous things), or the fact that the game has just gotten too damn complicated since its N64 glory?

So you're complaining because SSBB is fairly hardcore and you rather it be a party game?

 



Pixel Art can be fun.

Now for those who would like to pull the Gamerankings/Metacritic card, save yourself the time because nobody cares.

lol.

You're too funny.

We all know that this isn't one of the best games this generation.  Metacritic says other wise ;)

I don't think SSBB has that limited of an appeal. 7 million in much less than a year is incredible. It will finish over 10 million before all is said and done, which is much more than can be said for 99% of games.

Of course not. I'm suggesting that this might be why it's not selling as well as Mario Kart, when in theory it could.

...Though Smash Bros. is a party game anyway. It's just an indimidating one.

I still have to laugh hard everytime when I think of the fact that you bought Army of Two.

I didn't buy Army of Two.

It was a gift ^_^
