I seriously doubt this. Brawl was an evergreen title for the Wii. The audience playing Project M was miniscule.

Cool. Let's hope the next game won't be gimped by the 3DS.

SSB for Wii U is the pinnacle of the series, boasting over 60 incredible characters and Roy, and even though I have some nitpicks I am EXTREMELY grateful to Sakurai and his team at Namco for their hard work. I got Bayonetta, Ryu, and friggin' CLOUD in a Smash Bros. game!
It paid off tremendously and the result is one of my favourite games ever. The 3DS version, while not my favourite - its sheer existence is pretty much a miracle, and I give it props for that. Completely deserved.
You've been keeping up with NX rumours? If they pay off, you won't need to worry.

Well, with the NX apparently being a hybrid, I don't think we'd have to go through the trouble of making two different Smash games at once.
Under 60, actually. Smash 4 has 58 playable characters, & that's counting each of the Mii Fighters as their own characters.

Brawl and Mario Kart Wii have never stopped selling to my knowledge. It's pretty insane. They're still on store shelves today and people keep buying them.

Sweet best Smash game and well deserved numbers.

Congrats on the success.
I have mixed feelings about a lot of elements of the new Smash Bros but I can't deny that at its core it's a fantastic game.
Glad to see the Wii U version perform so strongly against the 3DS version. I love my n3DS, but thought that the hardware just wasn't good enough to make Smash enjoyable. Was very glad I waited two months until I could get it on Wii U. It's a gorgeous, buttery-smooth game there.

Hopefully it can add a bit more before all is said and done. Great sign for the future of the franchise.
That's what the NX port will likely be for.

Something like SSE is a big undertaking. I could see us getting a few new characters and such but not a big story mode like that.
I get the feeling that Project M really didn't have that big of an impact on Brawl's overall sales.

No surprise the second best game in the Franchise is the second best seller.
Smash 4 > Brawl > Bros > Melee

Project M only got huge in 2013 or so, right? That was loooooong after Brawl had done the bulk of its sales.

And 2nd best selling fighting game franchise ever. Impressive with just five games in the series (well 4 if we are being technical).
Well take 1st eventually but Takken 7 is going to delay that

Me neither. SSE was so much fun.
The NX port needs something to make it sell. All the extra content from 3DS and Wii U won't suffice alone. I think having that mode will be a great way to grab additional attention and lead to more buyers.

Maybe not SSE, but I would totally be down for a Melee-esque Adventure Mode. That was great enough, but now just think of all the universes that've been added since that can get their own level.

Of course. And a much more effective and resourceful way of doing so is adding more characters. Characters are what get people the most excited regarding Smash.
A new singleplayer mode would be nice I guess, but ultimately Smash is a multiplayer experience. I'd rather see that aspect be polished as it could possibly be, whether it be adding new fighters, balancing them out, giving us more options for online play, etc.

I own it on the 3DS and owned it on the Wii U (sold it since I played it barely any compared to the 3DS version) and I'll buy it again if we get a GOTY edition for the NX with all the DLC (and modes from each version, hopefully) included.

Technically with them being two separate SKUs, snake remains king at the moment in brawl.

Now that you mentioned it, I actually would like to see Smash Run brought over. I'd honestly take that over SSE.
Kinda the same thing except condensed down into five minutes, except there's at least actual enemies from Nintendo (and third party) series. Let us interact with each other on the map (like in Air Ride), give us more options like the amount of time or the final battle at the end, and hell throw in some enemies from Final Fantasy and Bayonetta. That'd be sweet.
if inklings are playable put in an octotrooper

That's two different games! Nope, doesn't count.
With an NX port it will easily surpass 20 million. I don't think they should rush the port. They are better off releasing Melee HD or a VC Melee before the port, then they can use their marketing blitz for the Smash NX port.
I would hate to see a half assed Smash 4 port come out. So they might as well release a Melee HD while they do the final polishing up.

Technically not best, since it was on the WiiU/3DS. It cheated. ;P
But I can't wait to what the NX version adds!

Can we have one smash thread without comparing the games (comparing gameplay I mean)? Please?
This game would be my favorite Smash if it wasn't for the mediocre single player. Classic isn't really classic (especially for the Wii U version. 3DS has a better classic at least) and there isn't really an Adventure Mode which was very disappointing for me.
I love the mechanics and the roster though. It's the best roster for a fighting/crossover game I've ever seen. Not quite perfect (needs Snake and Bomberman imo) but as close to perfect as I think a video game will ever get.
Now hurry up and release the Cloud amiibo

Is Smash the best selling fighting game series or does MK or SF beat it?
We'll likely be waiting 7+ months for the Cloud Amiibo at this rate (which is a shame, really).

I'm happy it sold a lot. Cannot wait for the NX port!
I wish they would create more DLC for this game - stages, characters, music, and all. This is the only game I bought every single piece of DLC for and will continue to do so if they put out more.

Are you sure that you quoted right person? I meant there are other people that actually compare the games, unlike the person you quoted.
As a franchise I believe Tekken beats Smash in numbers. I can't remember where but I've seen the total Tekken sales to be a million or two short of 50m, or maybe around 45m, but that's probably the ballpark of its current numbers. Smash in total is around 40m currently.

Total sales numbers for franchise, nope, if I remember the numbers correctly. However, it might be best selling fighting game. Edited: Beaten. I was too slow.

I want another Subspace Emissary mode for NX.
Just give me side-scrolling levels with enemies from various franchises and a stupid story that brings all the characters togeth.

If you say this is the best smash bros game then that is comparing them, not sure what you're getting at.
