Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Yeah, people were saying this was gonna do as well as other big Ninty games.

Kinda bad sales, considering the hype it had on here.

But hey, its got good reviews all round, thats what matters.



                            

Considering mainstream Europe's taste in games, I'm hardly surprised.



horrible sales all around. I believe if the game wasn't overpriced at $49.99, and instead priced at $29.99, it would be over 500 k already.



I am beginning to wonder if there is either a vast difference in the game taste of Wii players in the UK or a great conspiracy against the console because it is not cutting edge technology.

The game sales numbers have been strange from the UK. And the most vehement criticisms of the system, both in the media and on the forum, seem to original from the British Isles.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

$49.99 is totally fair for this game. You'll get more playtime out of this than you will most PS3/X360 games at $59.99.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Even with no online? Im not so sure... I mean, 3 hours in I am pretty bored of the single player. Waiting for friends to come over to play some more...but thats not easy when you're in the working world and your gaming freinds work and live 40KM's away.



I am quite suprised at how badly this game has done. It seems only uber casual games and exercise games sell in the UK on Wii.

Well, I probably spent over 10 hours on the game already and I haven't completed title defense yet. I easily spent an hour each on Super Macho Man and Mr. Sandman. Which 1 hour is really only 6 tries against them and taking it to the end which I'm sure I did in practice mode. I can find plenty of single player games on any console that cost $50 or more that have equal or less playtime with similar qualtiy of play. Maybe you are just super good at it or it isn't your kind of game.

Are you playing with Wii mote or GC controller?

Like don't get me wrong, the game is great, but it doesn't have the longetivity of Mario Strikers charged due to lack of online IMO.
