ATRL Moderator feelslikeadream Posted February 7 Author ATRL Moderator Posted February 7 Yeah, I've seen a lot of opinions on TOTK sales being bad, which is wild to me. I mean, doing 20 million already is amazing, especially given how many people were turned off by how different BOTW was from previous games (like alllll those complaints about durability). It's undisputedly a huge success. 11 hours ago, Rence said: The Switch only needs 16-17 million to dethrone the PS2. Ninty just upped their forecast for this year from 15m to 15.5m. Last year they sold 16.81m units vs their forecast of 19m. Even if they don’t reach their current goal especially when the successor comes out the Switch will continue to sell over the years. The DS sold 25m units 3 years after the 3DS launch. Also you have to factor in that there is no price drop yet + the transition to Switch 2 will be slow if shortages occur and the rumored backward compatibility happens. Ok, I'll trust you and have faith

It's undisputedly a huge success. Ok, I'll trust you and have faith I absolutely agree. Plus it’s over 20M in less than a year that’s an IMPRESSIVE number. I do think it’s a loud minority complaining about the games, because despite Violet (which just got 2 DLCs last year) selling more, TOTK is almost at the same number of sales in a fraction of the time Edited February 7 by xXavril
Doogle Posted February 7 Posted February 7 TOTK sales would be seen as mammoth if it were anything else. People are just being dense because BOTW exceeded all expectations. Isn’t it already blowing most Zelda games out the water? 1
Magickarp Posted February 7 Posted February 7 TOTK is selling like a Pokemon game 59 minutes ago, stupidjock said: @Magickarp are you playing OT2? I finished it, but i def prefered OT1. Majority of people prefer OT2 tho These daddies + icon Primrose.
SlowGinFizzzz Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Regarding the "disappointing" sales numbers of TOTK, I think this video by Kit & Krysta (who used to work at Nintendo and are presumably better at interpreting those numbers than most of us are) adds some pretty interesting context. So yes, the game is obviously a success, but probably not as big a success as Nintendo expected. 18M out of the 20M it has sold by now were during the initial wave of sales right after release, so considering the huge install base of the Switch as well as Nintendo's usually massive holiday sales numbers, only 2M for the rest of the year can probably be seen as slightly underwhelming. It's going to be interesting to see how this develops over the next couple months and years. 2

I only reviewed OT2 and some random card game and then I stopped writing for this site because I was doing it for free anyway I hated how this game won't let you walk a single step without making you enter a fight. It's so archaic.

ATRL Moderator feelslikeadream Posted February 8 Author ATRL Moderator Posted February 8 Speaking of turn based battles, I'm playing Chrono Cross rn and I'm using auto-battle (and 2x speed ) for almost the whole game, and it's so much better this way!
Kern Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Replaying TOTK feels so ******* good !! Maybe I will beat that final boss this time 2
Aethereal Posted February 10 Posted February 10 I rate Super Mario Wonders 9/10. I don't know how Nintendo will top this one in terms of creativity. The design is perfect and wonder flowers. I don't know with what new design or stage surprises they can up with.

But yeah, the battle system is pretty outdated. I played the original PS1 version for the first time just last year and it was sooo clunky It’s really an iconic game though. I hope you finish it!

I have over 30 party members now so I feel like I must be near the end. Spoiler I recently got Serge's real body back (I miss my black element Lynx attacks ), then got Kid back in the party. It kind of feels like endgame, but the weird part is that I only have like 40 stars or something though I know you can get 99 1
thatsmydemi Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Just bought BOTW and TOTK for 65€ (without box) with a friend. He's keeping BOTW since he's never played it, I'm keeping TOTK.

Timeless Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Let's hope the next Animal Crossing game comes out next year on the Switch 2 because I am truly desperate
