So why did USF2 and Bomberman R sell?
Unless you're being sarcastic.
Not to mention quite a few indie titles that have sold best on Switch
So why did USF2 and Bomberman R sell?
Unless you're being sarcastic.
What about the the indie titles on the Switch? I guess those were successful because of magic or something? Also, you can't just assume that something like MineCraft or Rocket League is selling or is going to sell well because of Mario, not when those games are huge pretty much everywhere and the Mario content is mostly inconsequential. At the moment, there aren't many 3rd party games in general on the Switch so let's see how stuff like Doom or Fifa or NBA2K sell before we say Nintendo fans don't buy anything without Nintendo in itThis.
Its not weird to see all those mario thingies in other switch games, like minecraft, rocket l., skyrim etc.
No mario / nintendo character, no sale for Nintendo buyers.
Its becoming a bad habit.
There werent many retail games on shelves. These two games got lucky. Being simple games for almost full price is good for publishers but bad for consumers.So why did USF2 and Bomberman R sell?

Maybe I'm overestimating the appeal of classic Sonic, but it seemed to have a ton of hype for it and the it cost 1/3 the price. I'm not saying it did, and I absolutely adored Mario + Rabbids, but it seems like it should have sold extremely well.
This.

Its not an hard rule, but having mario stamped on everything helps enormously...Disagea 5 Complete will outsell the PS4 version of Disgaea 5 by the end of the year. What is the reason for that?
Yeah the biggest compliment you can give M+R is that it looks, feels and plays like a first party Nintendo game. I hope this level of execution opens doors to future crazy crossovers.
Seriously. I honestly kept forgetting Ubisoft made it. Then again, I don't think I ever bought a Ubisoft game.

I definitely dont like that those two sold that great.
But for gamers wanting physical games these were the only two choices left.
Yeah. I bought it and only Soul game I ever bought.To be fair, it's not entirely wrong to say tha putting in Nintendo characters in a third party game helps it sell more. Case in point:
This was such a brilliant marketing strategy on Nintendo/Namco's part.
It sold better than Minecraft?

What's the best selling non-Nintendo game that doesn't have Mario though?

But at the end, it's still a Nintendo game for casuals. People don't care who developed it.
#dontcryubisoftmanCame to post this
Yes.
So...?
Fuck it make a MOBA with Nintendo characters go wild Nintendo, good to see Rabbids sold well need more interesting ideas like it.
Let Davide pitch another game and keep this team in tact. They get Nintendo and this hardware.
For everyone that's saying this only sold because it had "Mario" on the box--I think this game reflects a higher overall quality and charm then many of the other Nintendo-published titles featuring Mario as of late (Paper Jam, Sports Superstars, Star Rush, Color Splash, etc.)
No retail release. Likely isn't tracked.

No they sold for being great games, or being only one of the few choices.No retail release. Likely isn't tracked.

Fact is, place Mario in it or any Nintendo sticker and fans will eat it up. Could you imagine the sales of Mario vs Rabbits without the Mario universe? Or soul calibur II without Link?
Theres a reason lots of third parties want mario or nintendo cameos in their game.
Its almost a free ticket to success..

Except there are plenty of examples where that success hasn't happened at all. So...that's not a fact.
Mario + Rabbids 2 here we go!
Im afraid not. Ive already heard people wanting Skyrim because of Link..And you think people will buy a game like Rocket League because you can put a Mario hat on the car? With Mario + Rabbids, sure Mario helped sales out a lot. With other things you named like Skyrim and Rocket League...you're really reaching.

And I do remember a huge topic with the Mario and Samus skins for Rocket League. People loved it..
