Let's disagree about that then. Minecraft, Wii Sports, Brain Training, Wii Fit, Nintendogs, Monster Hunter, PUBG, the wheel in Mario Kart Wii, the 4 players coop mode in NSMB Wii, BOTW, Splatoon, etc, etc. It's obvious that there is a clear correlation between how unique and innovative a game is and its ability to be a huge success and a system seller. It's not enough, the concept can't only be innovative but also addictive too of course but it's pretty much mandatory. That's why Labo has the potential to be huge unlike any other Switch game for the first half of the year.
Hmm, by that logic sequels should not perform well, since they usually don't bring anywhere near the innovation that the original game does. Yet that doesn't seem to be the case: Pokémon is massively popular years after it first released even though it didn't reinvent the wheel a whole lot, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is one of the biggest system sellers for the Switch.
It's sold out on amazon France at least. From what I can tell it's still available on the FNAC online store, though.
Maybe it's a former lesser Nintendo franchise now ;p
Ah, I see. But the joke still stands: selling much more than expected would also destroy its reputation as a franchise whose sales are consistent between entries!
lesser variable as in doesn't change much in sales between entries. Despite system install base.
Maybe that's exactly why they didn't meet demand, because they thought it was going to be like always.
I already decided I wanted atelier ans now ive been hwacily rhinking of pixking up AOT2 aswell
Dammit I hate how this new phone doesnt autocorrect with my big ass thumbs ;_;
Kirby doesn't typically get simultaneous worldwide releases like this. Combine that with the extra attention it got for being on Switch (and not several years late like Kirby typically is), and I could see them underestimating demand.
I think camera perspective would be like 3D Land/World Mario games,
