^That's not nostalgia though, that just shows that she saw the quality, protip, metacritic doesn't decide what is quality

How do you see quality?

That ass is quality.

I'm telling your mom

^If it was purely nostalgia Akvod, then the 3D Marios would be selling at similar rates, but its not, people know 2D Mario is quality.

@psrock, its easy to see quality, I knew NSMB Wii would be amazing when I saw the gameplay videos, and I was not disappointed when i played it

Sounds like another one of those "Lol, I was right, you were wrong, you're an idiot" threads. These are so annoying and pathetic. People say a lot of things. Honestly, I'm sick of many posters on this forum trying to inflate a game's success because a couple people made bad predictions. Tons of people make bad predictions. Hell, I predicted that Halo 3 would sell 10.5 million lifetime once. Does that mean that it's sales are more successful because I guessed lower sales? No, I'm just some random guy.

Garrrr!

Some people just disgust me.

On most games I'd never bring it up, as predictions are just that, but when you say a 2D mario won't be a monster success, even when History says it will, I just have to point it out

Coming from the guy who said Wii Fit would outsell the GTA franchise (among a number of other AMAZING predictions).

You're not exactly one to point out other's bad predictions.

Edit: By the way, do you really think that the Wii will be able to more than double its install base and outsell the PS2 by the end of this year, master of predictions? Do tell.

My predictions may be wrong, but at least I never said anything as silly as NSMB Wii would only sell to galaxy owners, lol

Yeah, okay. I'm just going to leave now. Have fun with your thread.

And your predictions are still pretty silly.

@psrock, its easy to see quality, I knew NSMB Wii would be amazing when I saw the gameplay videos, and I was not disappointed when i played it

So, Akvod's mom was surfing the internet looking for gameplay of NSMB so she can make up her mind on the quality of a Mario game.

 

BTW, Lair looks amazing from gameplay i have seen. It must be the greatest game ever without reading the reviews.

I didn't say it was just nostalgia, I clearly said that the local multiplayer and family fun image had a lot to do with it.

He already said she saw it being played in the store, so she didn't need to surf the net, she saw it being played live.

 

 @Akvod, no originally you said nostalgia and local mulitplayer, and if it was just nostalgia, then 3D mario would have sold as well, but its not nostalgia, its the gameplay and the quality of it that attracted your mother, like you said she saw it being played

Dude my mom has not played any games for at least a decade. She was attracted to this game specificly because of nostalgia and Mario being the only game she played regularly in the past. If she was attracted to quality she would have been buying other games as well for the last decade.
