I would wait until releasing final judgements. We barely know of any concrete details about release dates for titles past January. I suspect we will get info about upcoming February-March during the GTA and probably a Nintendo Direct in January. I imagine they will do a Nintendo Direct in January prior to NSMBU DX's release.

The hilarious/sad part is that NSMBU DX will likely outsell all of them. Going off of performances of prior Wii u to Switch ports, at worst it could perform slightly worse than the Wii U title; at best it could be like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and sell considerably higher and have a significantly high attach rate. The Wii U entry sold over 1.25 million copies in Japan and 5.77 million WW, so in Japan I'd say it is at least a million seller.

People had several other NSMB experiences available, unlike most of other Switch ports. Comparing to MK8DX is a strech too. I'm not sure 1M is a lock like this.

I expected Billion Road to open higher as the Switch doesn't have a MomoTetsu title yet, but I guess Mario Party is what people wanting a board game experience will all go for.

Ok, so looks like there's a a Fire Emblem Expo on May 4th in Japan. Unfortunately, no details for now, will be detailed during the next FE0 livestream next Saturday.



Really got no clue what this event could be, but looks like IS is really serious about their fans events in Japan. I doubt Three Houses will be shown there (maybe playable), since it's slated for a Spring release and it might actually be out by the time the event takes place. If the Fire Emblem anime ramblings are legit and not just fan hallucinations, then I guess we could hear / see something about it there.

Looks like the next Yoiko YouTube series will be about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. No surprise here!



Those always generate lots of interest in the games, and are definitely a effective way to promote them.

I suppose we still have no idea about shipment size for Minecraft bundle?

Honestly not expecting "much" from it, at launch I mean. Just like the game itself, expecting strong and steady sales during the holiday season, but not big surge at launch.

About that Koei-Tecmo teaser... could it be Toukiden? Just a thought I had, based on that destiny/fate teaser text.

Mario Kart is the best series to compare NSMB to, imo. I feel it largely appeals to the same fanbase. They're performance can vary from system to system. For example, NSMB DS sold 30 million and MKDS sold 23.88 million. Then, NSMB Wii sold 30.2 million and MK Wii sold 37.14 million. Next, NSMB 2 sold 12.82 million and MK7 sold 17.52 million. Finally, there is NSMBU's 5.77 million to MK8's 8.42 million. They generally perform in the same ballpark range depending on how healthy the platform is. While I'm not expecting NSMBU DX to drive hardware sales significantly, I do think it will appeal to the same people that standardly buy Mario Kart for their Nintendo system. They havent released a 2D Mario in a long time and NSMBU (& NSLU) does have good WoM from those that played the game. NSMBU launched a few months after NSMB2 released which effected both of their performances.

NSMBU DX is releasing in a quieter period when people who bought Switch during holidays might want to look for another game. Also, the game is on a popular platform. I don't feel a million is a lock but it's one of those games which might surprise. Surely, the game will eat some life to other platformers.

First thing I thought is that last time Media Create gave top 50 with numbers was Golden Week 2007 and the week after the source that gave the leaks disappeared.

Are we really second-guessing whether NSMBUDX will hit 1 million? Even the WiiU version sold well over 1 million, and basically all Switch versions of WiiU games have done better than the WiiU counterpart. I see little reason to expect NSMBUDX not to do it as well. If anything, I think discussions should be whether it can hit 2 million.

It's a lock for 1 million. Only question is how far it'll go above that.

I think that 1.5 million is possible, but I dunno about 2 million... For a re-release? and post Super Mario Maker? I doubt it...

The reason I'm not 100% sure is that sometimes those Wii U port barely move the needle. I thought DQ Builders would have been a bigger deal, Bayo too worldwide, and finally they came and went without much fanfare. It could be the next Mario Kart 8, but it depends how much they push it and how good people think it looks in 2018. Let's not forget that MK8 looks fucking amazing and is probably the best in its franchise, NSMBU is a tougher sale.

In order to reach 7 millions LTD by the end of the year, with five remaining weeks, it needs to do an average 260k/week. It's definitely not going to do that with this week's numbers, but 150k should be easily achieved, and it should have a couple 300k week as well.
If it goes 160k -> 280k -> 280k -> 360k -> 220k, it'd reach it, and that seems relatively realistic to me. The 360k week is when DQB2 drops.

I think the difference you aren't recognising here is that those WiiU ports that didn't outsell the original version were the niche titles (Bayo and Hyrule Warriors). All other games did. And considering NSMBUDX is definitely not niche, it would surprise me greatly if it didn't hit 1 million. I really don't think that the performance of smaller niche titles are a better indicator for how NSMBUDX will perform than the more mainstream titles like MK8D, Pokkén (tentative) and DKTF are.

NSMBU sold 5.7M units vs NSMB2's 12.8M.
That's a lot of potential customers for this older title.

There also hasn't been a NSMB proper title in around 6 years.
Not saying it'll do gangbusters, but quite a bit

I just think it's hard to predict what will be a big deal and what will just be filler. And it even starts from Nintendo, you could tell they went all out with Tropical Freeze, lot of marketing, ads, everything, meanwhile Captain Toad, Bayo or Hyrule Warriors got very little. So I think we need to see how Nintendo treats it first.

In order to reach 7 millions LTD by the end of the year, with five remaining weeks, it needs to do an average 260k/week. It's definitely not going to do that with this week's numbers, but 150k should be easily achieved, and it should have a couple 300k week as well.
If it goes 160k -> 280k -> 280k -> 360k -> 220k, it'd reach it, and that seems relatively realistic to me. The 360k week is when DQB2 drops.

I was thinking it can hit 7.4-7.5M but i may have unrealistic expectations.
