Agro Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Also anyone wanna bet Smash bros makes the Wii U outsell the PS4? It probably won't but god damn it'll f***ing move units. PS4 will continue to outsell the Wii U. Smash likely won't change that. Historically, Mario Kart has always outsold Smash Bros. Wii: MK - 34.5 million/Brawl - 12.1 mllion NGC: Double Dash - 6.95 million/Melee - 7.07 million N64: MK - 9.87 million/5.55 million Melee was the only Smash game to sell more than the Mario Kart game on the same system, and that wasn't even that much more. So even though a lot of us are getting super hyped about smash, I wouldn't really expect the sales of Wii U to skyrocket past the rate Mario Kart 8 gave it.

Tentacruel Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 The PS4 will continue to sell more because it's simply a much stronger brand and has more mass-appeal. That being said, the Wii U really doesn't need to outsell anything. The console war is only something that exists on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 That being said, the Wii U really doesn't need to outsell anything. The console war is only something that exists on the internet. This is something I got to keep reminding myself of. Even though everyone likes sh*tting on the Wii U and saying it's the end of Nintendo, in reality it'll probably just amount to another Gamecube in the long run. It doesn't really matter much to me for Wii U catching up to XBone and PS4. They really are separate entities. I'm surprised about the Mario Kart/Smash stats though. I was thinking Smash would be the big pusher for the console, but maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I think Mario Kart sells better because racing games are generally easier and more family oriented than fighting games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 That's the main reason. It helps that most if not all the characters are more widely recognizable and have been around for a generation longer. EDIT: Just a friendly reminder that this happened last year at E3. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/34700/sakurai-considering-mewtwo-for-next-smash-bros-games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'm curious as to how the addition of characters like Mega Man and Pac-Man will affect sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I think it will affect it slightly positively. There of course will be a few people not buying it because of their inclusion, but there will be more that will buy it because of them. However I doubt it will make a large amount of difference.

Shradow Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 "Pic of the day. The pink sweatshirt looks really cool on Little Mac, so you can use that outfit in this game… How can a pink sweatshirt look so cool? Looks like some of you noticed that this version of Little Mac wasn't shown at E3. There are many things, like Link's Skyward Sword tunic design I posted earlier, that haven't been revealed yet."

Thar Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 He should be careful in what neighborhood he wears that hoodie. If he can take out the Sandman, then he can handle a homophobic neighborhood. Maybe have a blade and a gun under his belt, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 then he can handle a homophobic neighborhood. Is that where he was going with that? I was thinking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd63P7mYXzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffee. Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I seriously love how more characters are like Wario in Brawl, in the sense that they a whole new costume, and not so much just a recolor.Either way...Mac has pink jumpsuit and wireframe. I'm curious as to what else they give him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Abunch of recolors and two full costumes would be enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 How can anyone hate Nintendo when they do wonderful stuff like this? I love it. I'm excited to see all the costumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 One reason is that Nintendo doesn't cater as much to the emelgee pro gamers and their hardcore brown shooters. Also, they don't make enough bloody gameplay for your standard 13 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 One reason is that Nintendo doesn't cater as much to the emelgee pro gamers and their hardcore brown shooters. I have a feeling that Splatoon will get a TF2 audience in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Lil Mac has some cool alt outfits. So now I'm wondering what alt outfits for other characters are. Mario-Dr. Mario, Ice Mario?, maybe 8-bit coloration Luigi-Mr. L All Pokémon-Shiny forms Sonic-Boom clothes Link-Fierce Deity Toon Link-Civvie outfit I actually can't think of that many others now that I've sat down thinking about it...

Shradow Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Toon Link's pajamas would be nice, I can't imagine them not doing that one in some way. Maybe we could get a Wind Waker-style outfit for Ganondorf. Hyrule Warriors outfits for the LoZ cast would be cool, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'd be willing to bet on Dr. Mario. Villager: Reskin as Tom Nook. Joke would be that he killed Tom Nook and took his skin. Ike: Brawl design clothes Charizard: Better get the f***ing shiny Pacman: New design, ew Diddy Kong: Dixie Kong, idk. Greninja: Actually give him a ninja costume, lol Lucario: The Mystery of Mew costume that ash wears Marth: Lucina, Lucina w/ Mask Sonic: SCARVES AND ATHLETIC TAPE Zelda: Like every adult Zelda redesign you can come up with. Toon Link: Minish Cap, Crawfish shirt thing, pajamas would be amazeballz Pikman & Olimar: All the other characters from Pikman 3 Peach: Pauline? Daisy, clearly Luigi: Dr. Luigi, Mr. L Donkey Kong: Party hat. Every character deserves a party hat. Samus: Every one of her armor's designs. Link: Magic Armor (TP), Zora Armor (TP), Fierce Deity (MM) Mega Man: Robot Masters Colorings. Though what I really want? Chibi-version of all the other Mega Mans Kirby: Some of his powerups as costume choices, perhaps Bowser: Cat Bowser. It needs to happen. Pit: Birthday Suit Pit. Sakurai, please.
