Doing 100k updates when every other game in that top ten is seeing like 500k bumps and more... Not a hate post btw! This is genuine curiosity! Is it just a case of SwSh being bad games (eventually) derailing their sales train? Or does Pokemon as a whole have a kind of market cap compared to Animal Crossing, Mario and Zelda? Pokémon’s peak on Nintendo Switch has only ever been outsold by one other franchise on one console…and that’s Mario on Nintendo Switch. Sword & Shield - 25.92M Scarlet & Violet - 22.66M Pikachu & Eevee - 15.07M Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl - 15.06M Arceus - 14.83M New Pokémon Snap - 2.74M Rescue Team DX - 1.99M Pokken Tournament DX - 1.54M They’ve literally sold 99.81M copies of games, mostly at full retail prices For comparison’s sale, games like FIFA, COD, GTA, etc. have to be multi-platform and get regular discounts to even come close to those numbers.

It's nothing new. This is how it is for every game, too. Which is why Nintendo always advises its partners to only do one major entry per generation. The only games aside from Pokémon that can do multiple entries per gen are the online, neckbeard games that release new yearly entries that are basically skins (FIFA, Call of Duty, etc.).

We are waiting. Honestly, Mario & Rabbids Sparks of Hope is a massive downgrade in every way. It’s not shocking that it’s bombing compared to Kingdom Battle, which is easily one of the best games of this generation. I hate sRPGs but I was hooked. I’m still playing the sequel and it’s a chore.
ebaby Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 Nintendo just announced Charles Martinet is stepping down from voicing Mario and other characters... truly the end of an era whoever replaces him has big shoes to fill and I'm hoping they don't totally change his vibe just because it's a new person.

Act II from start to finish is one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in a video game.

Magickarp Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 I notice like 70% of Zeldatubers just disappeared after TOTK dropped I was watching Monster Maze's return stream, & while he loves TOTK, he was lowkey criticising it half the stream Skylands & Underground feel repetitive, procedurally generated, & don't feel lived in. Why are there no abandoned Zonai villages etc. Imo they tried to gameify TOTK too much. Ur incentivised to visit stables with Pony Points, whereas in BOTW u visited stables cuz u wanted to. Seems like a small inconsequential example, but this extends throughout TOTK. Underground with Lightroots etc. They spent too much time on Ultrahand rather than the overworld. BOTW: Exploration > Sandbox TOTK: Sandbox > Exploration AJP blaming the "gaming landscape" for TOTK's lack of impact, rather than it being DLC When i call TOTK "DLC" i mean it in a "yes it's DLC worth $70, but it's not it's own game." That said, the Master Sword scene is still my #1 gaming moment EVER
BambiStar Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Started Metroid Fusion yesterday, about halfway through now and having a blast! It was my first Metroid game but don't have much nostalgia for it as I can't remember much except the final boss fight. It's hand-holdy nature really set me up to fail with subsequent entries though... I remember playing Zero Mission right after and being SO lost Speaking of which Zero Mission needs to be added to NSO as well!
