>>750989339Nintendo has FE at 420K in Japan (digital & physical) so physical was 36% of total sales
>>750989339>FE sold like shit even after all the shilling here, constant generals up with almost 800 replies eachLMAO
>>750989339>Yoshi flopped biglyIs anyone really surprised? It's a literal shitty toddler game sold for 70 dollars.
>>750989464Huh? Those numbers are pretty good for Fire Emblem this close to release
>>750989589It is absolutely not a shitty todler game (this is part of the reason why the marketing was so shit) but it also was way too pricey at 70.
Yoshi being $70 is such a fucking retarded decision and Nintendo will never admit it and price it at $40/$50 like it should've been.
So is Starfox dead again?
>>750989339Fire Emblem Engage?LOST
>>750989464>1.34M in 13 days>SRPG>badretard lol
Chad riders stay winning
>>750989589Its a really original take on 2d exploration. But I paid about 27,- for a japanese copy and I found that a fair price. 30 digital 40 physical would have been a good price.Its 2026, a 2d platformer can be mind blowingly good, but you cant sell those for 60+ anymore
>only games that appeal to women and trannies selllmao
Pretty fucking terrible year. Most of these won't see 2m.
>>750989339>Tomodachi Life has sold 8.8M copies Isn't this literally just Brand Recognition for sad Japs with no social skills who will die unloved?
>>750989339Why are tendies not buying new games?Is the Switch 2 the Mario Kart World machine for everyone until Smash6 is released?
>>750992724I'm more surprised Nintendo's doing so little about it. I'd have Mario, Zelda and Pokemon in the pipleline every day of the year if I was on that board.
>>750989814The problem is that they can't, the cartridge on launch cost 15$ to make, now it's probably around 25$, a physical release at less than 60 or 70$ would be unprofitable, and they dug their own grave with that shit, just fucking make 8gb cartridge, for God's sake...
>>750990394I mean it’s the 4th best selling SF game already. I’d say this was within expectation for Nintendo.
>>750989464It sold good for the series, I dont want it to be more popularIf it became a persona tier ip it would go to total shit
>>750989339good numbers for starfox. we did it bros
>>750992915>1.1mYou think so?
Some of you have extremely skewed expectations about how much these games can realistically sell so early into the system's life cycle. You can't compare them to Switch 1's early heavy hitters from Nintendo's biggest franchises, these are all smaller IPs/spinoffs. Fortune's Weave's debut for instance is really strong.
>>750992724Zelda just released today
>>750989464Stupid faggot says retarded shit
>>750992597WRONGRONG
>>750989589Yoshi games always eat shit numbers wise despite always being peak. But yeah honestly switch 2 is really showing that they're struggling to get anything out the door to their consumers. Like how do you sell nearly 30 million titles and have your most popular game not even reach a fifth of your potential client base?But also I totally get it as someone with a switch 2. I mostly use it for better performance on my switch 1 library, and for whatever looks fun that's on sale in their e-shop at the time. The $70 price point was absolutely a mistake for this thing.
>>750994663also the cost of everything going up means people are not buying games as much so they used to
>>750992938For an IP that's been borderline dormant since the WiiU? Yes.
>>750989339Star Fox selling 1.17 million in its first quarter is pretty good.For the fifth remake in a niche series that has been dead for a decade, anyway.Plus I doubt it had a big budget so it likely hit/is on track to hit Nintendo's goals for it.Star Fox is back.
I'm sure fox being in the mario movie helped out sales
Nintendo is a cult now
>>750989339Hmmm, these numbers seem low? Is this their first party flex for this year? Not trying to troll, I genuinely thought Nintendo games just automatically sell gorillions
>>750989339CHO CHOPAThat's all it takes for a Frenchman to outsell your squid kids, lardo foxes, and duck-sounding dinosaurs. Why don't you own a brolly?
>>750989339>Star Fox 1.17MOh no no no Krystal haters, who do we blame now????
>>750994803It's its second quarter you coping faggot and it will end up selling less than Adventures on the gamecube despite the shameless mass shilling campaign.Absolute unequivocal failure and all the people who pretended to be excited for this pajeet coded remake should be ashamed of themselves.
>>750989464Why is it recieving well in other nations while it is recieving not so good in Japan? It must be more than DEI as Fabio is way more diverse than any other brownies.
>>750989339How did Fire Emblem sell 1.34 mil, but Onimusha sold 1.7 mil in September, with Fire Emblem outselling it in America according to Circana?I highly doubt Onimusha is bigger in Japan than Fire Emblem
>>750995331It's one quarter plus one week
>>750995470PC sales retard
>>750995470Capcom said they make 80+% of their sales on PC.
>>750995481We are not in the 90s grandpa, the remake was open for preorders for like fifty days, nobody acts anymore like sales begin on release day, Nintendo doesn't on these reports eitherAnd even if that were the case it doesn't change that this is the second quarter (so you were lying) and that for every Switch game that isn't Ring Fit Adventure the first quarter is the biggest no matter how close they release to the 'deadline', so it failing to clear 1mil in its release quarter already was a failure
>>750994897Yes they are low. Nintendo cultists will pretend this is totally normal but we are clearly staring at a DS -> 3DS contraction.
>>750989464>shillingThe threads still have people complaining about "woke" and "brown". The rest of us posting actually play the game.
>>750995723Actually, fabio is more woke than brownies ironically. Are agarthans androgyne? Cleobulus is Granpa in hag body.
>>750989464FEfags have always been an obnoxiously loud minority.
>>750995509>>750995527Fair, fair.That's still pretty solid for Fortune's Weave to outsell Onimusha's PS5 + XSex sales on a console thats only been out a year, even if PC catapults Onimusha ahead.Either way, I like both games a lot so I hope both numbers are satisfactory for Capcom/Ninty
>>750989667It’s a Nintendo game. How is it not a toddler game???
>>750995470>I highly doubt Onimusha is bigger in Japan than Fire EmblemYou'd be surprised, apparently.
>>750994862Wym “now”?
>>750995470Onimusha has no niggers
>>750995331>>750995613These posts reek of Snoy cope.
>>750996131Only actual nigger in FW are Centurio, Buccar, Simon, Castor tho. Is Bertrand Nigger tho?
>>750996131>Samurai would practice their new blades on any unlucky peasant they happen upon back in that era >Unit 731 and The Rape of Nanking>Their women even today are all mentally-ill, stuck-up gold diggers The Japanese are arguably the worst of the yellow monkeys, and monkeys in general. Weebs just put them on a higher pedestal because they created anime
>>750989339>>750989464>>750990469For comparison;>Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave sold 1.34 million copies after 14 days on sale (these figures are only September)versus>Fire Emblem: Engage sold 1.61 million copies after 71 days on sale (With a much larger install base and immediate momentum from 3 Houses runaway success)So if FW has even half the legs of Three Houses, (Japan physicals suggest it does) It's going to sell like double what Engage did in the same timespan.I still dont get exactly what made Engage so toxic to consumers though. I know the writing is absolute dogshit, but I thought post-Awakening FE waifufags didnt give a shit about writing? Engage has plenty of tits and ass to romance, while AFAIK Fortune's Weave doesnt even let your avatar romance the cast.
>>750996378>while AFAIK Fortune's Weave doesnt even let your avatar romance the castThey can, you just have to wait a while because the avatar is not in the lords' part 1s.
>fakers acting like subhumans weren't congo-coded in PoR/RDwe've had inclusivity in FE for nearly 25 years
>>750996378>immediate momentum from 3 Houses runaway successNigga why the fuck would I buy engage or FE in general after experiencing the dogshit that was 3H? It's a FF15->FF16 scenario all over again.
>>750992839>If it became a persona tier ip it would go to total shitwould be an improvement actually, persona's calendar mogs fortunes weave's
>>750996447Three Houses is the best selling and most popular Fire Emblem, retard.If you didnt like it, you should have been lined up day 1 to support the Engage team. Instead now you got Three Houses 2 and will probably only get Three Houses sequels from now on.Sucks to suck. Sothisverse wins.
>>750996323How did Nanking population increased in 1938 when 300K people died? Was there cloning tech in this period? When it is declining in 2020s?
>>750996568My bad for buying 3H and pirating engage because I had to wait for hardware mods first
>>750996628Yeah. Your bad.It affects me none cuz I prefer Three Houses' team over Engage's. So Im glad 3H haters dont actually buy games while 3Hfags, do.
>>750996243Yes bro, I'm the one coping and not the tards lying about quarters or pretending that selling less than Adventures on the gamecube is a resounding success just because at least it sold better than dogshit like Command
Dude, Star Fox is dead.
>>750996738no shit, it hasn't had a new game since 2017 and that was just the release of a previously cancelled SNES game
>>750996706Snoy. Let me tell you something. The last attempted reboot, Star Fox Zero sold less than half of this. So the Star Fox remake selling 1.1 mill is a fucking great thing and proves that yes, the series still has potential.
Worth noting that Star Fox was priced at $50 so it was an easier buybin for new audiences
>>750997376Star Fox Zero was another dogshit game everyone hated stuck on a console that gigabombed (both the console and the game). Again, congrats to the pajeets on beating the absolute bare minimum (by taking an old game that was already good and changing nothing about it other than making it look and sound worse)
>splatoon sold more then feJUSTICEHOLY SHITSHIVER AND FRYE SEX FOREVER
Anecdotal but multiplayer in Kirby Air Riders and Star Fox is pretty well-populated while Mario Tennis Fever tends to be a ghost town, I wonder just how badly that one did.
>>750996378Honest answer: Didnt play FE 3H cuz I didnt have a switch back then and when engage came out, the red/blue color scheme turned me off. Why didn't I play 3H afterwards though? I remember someone on 4chan saying you had to play all the characters story to completion several times. I couldnt do that again after the 3DS games. Weave got a slight pass when they revealed the characters have semi-intertwined stories. If it was separate games shit like in the 3DS or separate stories, I'd have skipped it.
>>750989339I don't get tomidachi life. There doesn't seem like there's any gameplay, you just sorta watch a fish tank of miis
>>750997547>KAR>well populatedUnless you live in Japan... why lie?You are aware that these games fill the lobbies with bots if they can't find players, right?
>>750995331Imagine being this mad over the sales of a video-game.SF2026 is not an "absolute unequivocal failure" by any means, despite how badly you want it to be.Think you should seek therapy. Or go back to Event Horizon.
>>750997579>I remember someone on 4chan saying you had to play all the characters story to completion several timesBased retard blindly believing what anons on 4chan say
>>750997707If I time travelled back to when the remake was announced and told you that it would sell less than Adventures on the gamecube and barely a quarter of what the N64 title did, you would have accused me of being le evil seething snoyNow that it's reality you pretend it's a resounding successCope and sneed
>>750995331Holy cope lmfao
>>750996260Bertrand is red for an amazing reason.
>>750997847I mean, I helped by not purchasing it didnt I? I had no play in either 3H or Engage's sales. The fact that nintendo went out of their way to point that out in the weave trailer meant people were thinking about that being a possibility too. People don't want to be burdened with several playthroughs to see all the character's stories.
>>750989339Imagine if any other company dared to release something with as little anything as tomodachi.An ok character creator and 3 lines of dialogue with [INSERT FUNNY WORD HERE] and somehow it's a full priced product instead of free early access alpha demo.
>>750989464FEnigs are the most annoying spammers on /v/
>>750998803I was a doubter too until I played it. It's genuinely great.
>>750996378>I still dont get exactly what made Engage so toxic to consumers though.As someone who recently played engage for the first time aside from the story not being that good I thought the characters were fine, there are some that I really liked and even for characters that I didn't care about I was able to find some support conversations I liked. I think it was just people not liking the designs, which I think is pretty stupid when there are a lot of good designs in engage (not everyone looks like Alear or hortensia).
>>750999003No one asked for the "opinion" of a woman.When it comes to videogames you are just cattle.
>>750989339>starfox beats yoshi We got the milly starfox bros. We’re getting more starfox>but but it sold less than adventuresSo far. Adventures life time sales include $20 players choice pricing (when I bought it). This one will only be behind the original and sf64, which had a free rumble pack
>>750989339why did they buy the switch 2? were they just waiting for it to be hacked? they're not buying the games
>>750994663That's because Bing-wahooligans only care about 3D Mario, 3D Zelda, and Animal Crossing.
>>750989464Reminder that three houses got a major sales boost due to the Covington pandemic lockdowns.
>Bananza finally just barely crossed 5M after 14 monthsThey sacrificed a new 3D Mario game for a decade for this. Bananza was a game that REALLY needed to be released on Switch 1, both for its own sake and for Mario's sake.
Isnt 1 million per game kind of low?
>>750996260>stops lootingHe’s an honorary white
>>751000353It's not "nothing", but a million these days really isn't much for a game released by a big company like Nintendo. Probably fine for a lower-budget outsourced remake like Star Fox.
those numbers are fucking terrible, i thought that Nintendo games sell like hotcakes? what happened tendies?
>fire emblem is a consistent milly seller>beat star foxgood
>>750999131>which I think is pretty stupid when there are a lot of good designs in engage (not everyone looks like Alear or hortensia).The problem is Alear is the single most important design in the entire game. It's the design you will be seeing at all times. An eyesore like that is going to turn people away.This is is no better than that copypaste black woman that is in every western game
>>750989339FE floppedMP4 floppedYoshi floppedKWAB
>>750989339Yeah that sounds about right. Most of these games are slop so it's good that they can crank them out cheaply.
>Jew:/>Jewpanese:o
>>750989339Rhythmn Heaven SWEEP
>>750992938It's the best selling Star Fox so....yeah?
>>751000486>game pricing>too many spinoffs/B-tiers>still no sign of the big-hitters on the horizon yet, which would help a lot of these games out like they did on Switch 1 (but they'll probably be coming too late now to save most of the S2's current lineup)OoT is going to be the big feather in the Switch 2's cap this year (alongside Pokopia). And it's a remake. It's become increasingly apparent that feature/tech creep and bad priorities during development of late-era Switch 1 games have severely crippled the Switch 2's early first-party library.
Tendies will only buy Mario Pokemon and Zelda.. idk why Nintendo even bothers to make other games
>>751000785Other games sell fine when they exist ALONGSIDE new Mario/Pokemon/Zelda/Smash/etc. The interest is there, but not as instead-of games.
>>751000753
>>751000785Lol true
Zelda will only do so much for the Switch 2 once people have GTA 6 to buy and play instead.
Tendies: we want other games that arent bing bing wahoo and Zelda>Metroid, Star Fox,Yoshi and FE all flopTendies: well i didn't say I will buy it lol
>>750994739>borderline dormant since the WiiUbrother, you can argue its been dormant since the Gamecubethe last Star Fox installment to move the series forward and make any sales impression was Assault back in 2005
>>751000353Considering how much the console sold and the cadence of first party releases, yes.
>>750989339Lmao those are shit numbers.Nintendo is done. People will just pirate their games from now on.
>>750989464>engage sold 1.6 millions in 2 MONTHS>fortunes weave sold 1.3 millions in 2 WEEKSit's definitely an improvement, specially when you consider how much smaller switch 2 install base is vs switch 1. Honestly if the switch 2 lite is as cheap as the leaks suggest theres a good chance fortunes weave will eventually surpass 3 houses sale numbers.
The world's fastest selling console (*no fastest selling games)
>>750992801>4th best selling when the market is 20x bigger than its haydayFucking pathetic
>>751001069Seriously, what are people buying this console for?
>>751001076I'd have to assume just mario kart which is the bundled game
>>750989464Those are decent numbers for FE
>>751001076To play Switch 1 games, for better or worse.The console is still performing good but it would probably be a good idea to have another heavy hitter (or two) on deck besides Pokemon next year
>>750995673Better than all of Sony's games this year except for Wolverine, their flagship game that sold 2.4 million and will be BTFO by a remake.
>>751001171>To play Switch 1 gamesYou're better off sticking with a swtich oled.
>37% decline from 2025 Switch 2 sales>vs. the Switch 1 having a 17% increase in its second-year salesAnd remember, the latter was considered a disappointment. If the rumored Switch 2 Lite and its pricepoint are real next year, then that's probably because it's a reaction to the numbers they've had for this year.>>751001171People actually think Kirby of the Wild is going to be that game just because Forgotten Land sold well on a post-COVID Switch 1 install base (and was revealed/opened to preorders while COVID restrictions were still in effect in most places).>>751001203Your reference point and standards are defined by edging out a company that's been burning money for 6 straight years. You're bragging about beating a one-legged Vietnam vet in a leg race.
>>751001076Personally I bought it for fire emblem. Im guessing children bought it for mario kart and women bought it for pokopia. Men idk, I think they are normally too retarded to try anything outside of gun and ball games.
>>751000353Depends on the game. It's actually good for Star Fox.
>>751000353Star Fox 2026 is 4th in the series, now only behind SNES, 64 and Adventures in salesThat plus being Switch 2 exclusive means it is a legitimately good showing. This is just 4 months of sales too
>>750998065What you and I deem as "successful" is irrelevant.It all depends on the game's budget and Nintendo's internal sales goals for it.And neither of us know neither of those. That said, these numbers do look to be positive considering Star Fox's history.
>>751001345switch 2 lite is fake as fuck
>starfox scraped by 1M>starfox fags are happy>fire emblem crosses 1M in a couple weeks>intense shitposting and infighting in that community because the last game did 1.6M in 10 weeks, which is also goodI don't get it
>>751001345I mean, it's just consoles in general are dying.
>>751000785animal crozzing too
>>751000785maybebut i think those series are what get peoples buy-in to the platform, then they buy other games once they're there
>>750996378>Three Houses first trailer: June 12, 2018 revealed at E3>shown off in multiple directs prior to its release, got a treehouse demo>Released July 26, 2019>also got advertising through smash dlc>Fire Emblem Engage first trailer: September 13, 2022, featured in the Nintendo direct>no other direct between then and the game's release, got trailers uploaded to youtube>Released January 20, 2023It all comes back to marketing.
>>751002379OH MY GOD YES someone else gets it. Switch 2 loyalists jizzing their pants over the idea of Nintendo "letting smaller releases breathe" are retards at best and resentful retards at worst. Having multiple big hitters in the early years was a huge asset that helped a lot of those smaller IPs/spinoffs on Switch 1. A rising tide raises all boats.
>>751002031starfox fags are lucky to get anything. honestly, a remaster of a remake from 30+ years ago that was always a C-tier series is impressive enough
>>751002031Starfox was never pushed all that hard amd had always been niche. It also had always been used to show off new tech first and a good game second. So, anything over a million is good for us.
>>751002681no I get that, I just look at the absolute state of fire emblem threads and feel like I'm looking through a window to an insane asylum. like, how many other niche series would kill to have consistency like that?
>>750989589>literal shitty toddler gameso is rhythm heaven if we're being honest
>>750990536That turd is only selling around 20k each quarter, lol. It has no legs.If you actually checked the sales you would see that it's stuck on 1,9m since the beginning of the year.
>>751001008>Barely scrapping by flogged>this is a good thing and here's whySo three houses 2 isn't the second coming of three houses like you fire emblem faggots said it would be.
>>751002031Console anime game fans hate anime.
>>751002782Fire Emblem fans are honestly spoiled as shit relative to the middle/low rank Nintendo IP fanbases, and the worst part is how many of them don't realize it or actively try to deny it.
>>751003258It's not like that slop is hard to make. They ight as well make a bajillion of them.
go woke go broke
>>750989339>fortune's weave 1.34>rhythm heaven 2.89mogging of a century holy shit
>>751003127See ya next financial report when it surpasses Engage and the cope is "well its Engage so its not that impressive"
>>751001008Engage had zero marketingFW had 3 directs shilling it, jsut like 3h did before thatAnd still sold like absolute shit
>yoshi floppednot a surprise 40 years and they still haven't been able to surpass Yoshi's Island
>>750989339Pokopia: 4 million; 5 million including sales in Japan.
>>750993068>remake of a remakewooooow it's fucking nothing
>>750989339Kek Kirby teared Sonic a new one.
>>751003509I think Crafted World was the straw that broke the camel's back for most people. The Switch 1 generation saw a number of games that were finally addressing major series grievances (in a lot of people's eyes at least), but here was Yoshi, staying the course and releasing yet another infant-tier babyslop despite that design philosophy being a known turn-off. The Switch 1 was a terrible generation to keep doubling down on shit that they knew people hated. I think any future Paper Mario games (if they even exist) are also fucked thanks to Origami King. It was already eye-opening how the long-requested TTYD remake sold underwhelmingly.Also, massively backloading gameplay details to right before it released likely hurt it badly too. Yoshi was a series that REALLY needed its Switch 2 game to have more regular and spread out coverage between reveal and release, but it simply didn't get that, and (I'd argue) Mysterious Book is thus the poster child for why Nintendo needs to stop fucking doing this shit.
>>751003770>my flop sold better than this other flop!Why do Kirby troons love picking fights with other franchises so much?
>>750989339>switch 2 install base is around 20m>fefw has sold 1.34 million in two weeks, probably closer to 2m now>literally 5-10% of every switch 2 user has a fortunes weave installedkind of crazy when you really think about it. I wonder if the percentages were as high in the switch 1 era and the 3ds.
>>751000353Not when they're made on reasonable, uninflated budgets. 1m is easily enough for most Nintendo games to at least break even.
Can't speak for the others but I didn't buy FW at launch because I knew they would lock huge chunks of the stuff behind the inevitable DLC. Waiting for a discounted bundle
>>750989339Gee maybe not sell them eighty dollars?
>>751004562honestly I do wonder if having all 8 paths aviable at the start will be a better or worse experience as a first time player.
>>750992938Yes>>7510007534th*
>>750989339How awful are the sales for Prime 4 they won’t even post them?
>Tomodachi life literally sells more than the entire fighting game genre combinedThis will never not be funny, taking ionto account how smug those niggers are about 300 players.
>>751004203It's Sonic who kept picking fights with Mario Kart fags when they announced that racing game where Sega burn every single piece of prestige (and money) they had to throw everything at the wall to finally FINALLY beat Mario. Then they lost bad, moved on to pick a fight with the Kirby fandom and got their shit kicked in again.
>>751003976How easy or hard were Crafted World and Mysterious Book? I only played 3DS Wooly World and I recall the game having a decent difficulty, with the difficulty spiking a lot in the special levels.>>751004909That's one of the reasons I can't get into modern FE, having to replay the game several times with minimal differences to fully experience the game feels like a terrible design choice, especially when I keep reading here how some anons have played for over 100 hours and weren't still halfway done with the game. There's so much SRPG I can take for prolonged periods of time before I get burnt out.
>>751004994it's good that the game wasnt bad enough to taint the brand as a whole and Ravenous is getting a lot of tractionthey should continue pretending Prime 4 never happened
>animal crossing and tomodachi life mogging pretty much everything else in the gaming industry including Nintendos other ip'sThe girlies are foaming at the mouth for their life sims
>>750989339Great sales overall. FEFW sold well at premium price, Splatoon raiders outsold Wolverine megalulz. Really wanna see the new 3D Mario now and the February direct. There's gonna be so many games coming
>>751005173Holy cow that's true! Why nobody has made any memes about that!
>>751000353Nintendo has only made 3 games where only 1 million sales would be considered a failure, BOTW, TOTK and Metroid Prime 4.
>>751005213>That's one of the reasons I can't get into modern FE, having to replay the game several times with minimal differences to fully experience the game feels like a terrible design choicewhat are you talking about? fortunes weave paths are all extremly different. different units, story, maps, etc. Calling it minimal differences is beyond retarded. Are you really THIS disinformed or just larping to hate?
>>7510026273D Mario, Zelda and Mario Kart right at the Switch 1s opening helped set the pace for the rest of the consoles life. It helps that all 3 were also generational all-timers too in terms of qualityIt worked for me at least. I got the console because of Odyssey and from there I bought stuff like Ori on the eshop instead of Steam
>>751004994I'm pretty sure Prime 4 would be included in the Switch 1 report, but that one is dominated by the usual evergreens. I'm pretty sure it reached its healthy million, but as the other anon said, it's better for everyone to forget that the game existed and just focus on Ravenous. If a Prime 5 ever happens, we can only hope that Bamco is not given another chance and if Retro once again takes the lead, that they get tardwrangled as much as possible.
>>750989339Sounds good to me
>>750989339Kirby (the game you rent as a kid) beat FE and Star Fox. Holy based
>>750995331>>751000353It's not THAT bad, but I don't see Ninty being anywhere close to happy with 1MM sales on Star Fox. >>750997538The fact that it's a really solid single-player horde mode shooter helped a lot.
>>750996378>I still dont get exactly what made Engage so toxic to consumers though.Most people's (not the terminally online ones) first impression of a game is the boxart, even digitally. Engage's was designed to repel even hardcore weebs, let alone everyone else
>>751005615kirby (the game that has been out for an entire year) is barely above games that came out last month.Holy bleak
>>751005429My points of reference are Fates and Three Houses, so yes, I'm completely misinformed on Fortune's Weave and I can't be bothered to look into it any further because I just can't trust IS anymore to give me a decent, let alone a mediocre plot. If people enjoyed the game, I'm glad for them, but I already had my share of FE to last me a lifetime.
>>750996378>I still dont get exactly what made Engage so toxic to consumers though.so it turns out vtuber aesthetics are not popular among the general public and only profitable in a gacha setting where a few autists can whale out all of ther life savings.
>>750997589you don't get it because it's for women
>>750989589It's a fun platformer actually just with a higher focus on puzzles over stomping goombahs
>>751005789I still find it funny how people were excited that the artist who designed Bae was working on Engage, only for the game to be polluted by one of the worst cases of sameface everyone had ever seen.
>>751005762>got out once he wasnt having fun>is happy others are still having funI cant even hate you anon
>>750989339it seems splatoon flopped biggly compared to previous entriesStarfox did better than i expected, but still a flop if we consider all the hype after the Mario movie shillingBrown emblem is a huge succes if we consider the userbase, i mean those numbers are close to engage which had a way bigger userbaseim surprised kirby gay riders got all those numbers at all
>>750989339>FE sold more in 2 weeks than StarFox did in 3 months Aaaaayyyyy lmao
>>751006026I hate that you're either just smart enough or too grammatically retarded to be able to dodge my filters.
>>751006097Why is that shocking? The tranime crowd that only plays FE for the gay shipping is obviously going to buy the low-skill dating sim with rock-paper-scissors combat. That’s everything they need out of a video game. Star Fox doesn’t have the same convenience of playing what’s basically a VN with all those wonderful DEI characters to obsess over.
>>751005615Shit Fox 64 is a low bar.
>>751006249>complaining about the "tranime crowd" while defending the furfagottry central game
>>751006249Holy seethe lmao
>>751005635And if the boxart didn't scare the casuals off, the horrible OP would.
>>751006097Also at $80 compared to $50
>>751006249All I'm getting from this is that if Nintendo added Krystal the Star Fox game would've sold a lot more.
>>751006779RISE FROM A THOUSAND YEARS AGO SHAKEN BY A HAZY DREAM (FIRE EMBLEM)
>>750989339All these safe remakes and spinoffs really are not working out for Nintendo. I'm sure OoT will sell much more than anything here but that's Zelda, but the Switch 2 still doesn't really have any must-have big system sellers. Nintendo will probably never be able to outdo 2017
>>750989339>Fortune's Weave appears to be outselling MP4Fuck every Scrimblo Bimblo out there
>>750996378>I still dont get exactly what made Engage so toxic to consumers thoughI didn't buy it since I thought it was gonna be more 3HRT shit with filler, and now I can't find a copy for MSRP. People were saying it's actually good though? Like Conquest tier good?
>>751005985Its a rare form these days, good for him.I'm still playing as much FW as I can, I've had to slow down hard though because of having to balance work and a project on my house
>>751004975Why did the other 3 million people not buy the remake?
People underestimate it a lot because everyone loves to think that breaking a million isn't a big deal at this point, but for a franchise like Star Fox, selling 1.17 million is insanely good for the series. Star Fox hasn't sold over a million copies since 2005 with Assault. I just hope they actually move forward with the series instead of this endless remake hell, and I want them to transition away from railshooters, because as much as people will argue, that is in fact a major factor holding the series back.
>>750989589It’s way too hard for a toddler. It’s a great game with amazing art. It’s a chill game but it’s much too hard for a kid. Probably a marketing blunder
>>751005942>Shiver
>>751007792toddlers dont care nintendo, they are busy playing minecraft, fornite palworld etc..
>>750989339The switch 2 still doesn't feel like a true successor to the switch. It feels like what the GBC was to the GB. Hopefully we get a TRUE new new console in a few years.
>1M copies sold is bad because I said so>2M copies sold is bad because I said so>5M copies sold is bad because I said so
>>751007956>d-doesn't count
>>750994663last good yoshi game was wooly world
>>751007910They're busy playing Roblox, who are you kidding
>>751005337The femcel era is here
>>751005213Nintendo did surveys like 15 years ago and got feedback that a lot of people played games for art music and relaxing and Yoshi has been that game since. Crafted world is has mellow mode which is easy peasy. Regular mode which is moderate and then you can 100% it which is very very hard. Mysterious book is like Yoshi story where you can play to credits without much effort but 100% is extremely difficult and not because there are 900 korok seeds but because the puzzle difficulty ramps up incredibly. Mysterious book doesn’t have death or any tension though. It’s purely puzzle game
I'm more interested in sales by region.
>>751000353All of these should be crossgen titles and would sell notable more. Switch 2 is like the pis5 in that everyone rushed out to get one but the software sales cratered.
>>751008082>Mysterious book doesn’t have death or any tension though. It’s purely puzzle gameDamn, that's a turn off.
I hate nu-Nintendo but games like Yoshi and Star Fox will continue to sell and sell and sell for the next 6 years as the console adds users. Smash ultimate still sells. It’s just part of the Nintendo’s strategy to make games that parents will buy their kids on any given day to keep them entertained. It’s a different market than seeking to 20+ adults who buy stuff on day one and then move on to the next thing.
>>751007792Isn’t this ‘game’ just doing what you do to enemies in every other yoshi game, only this time the game says you discovered something? Also the plot tries way too hard with kameks past.
Why do people talk about FW vs Engage sales wise when FW clearly cost way more to make and profit is the far more important metric
>>750989464Not really? FEFW is outselling every other FE game at the same pace EXCEPT 3H, which is the best selling FE of all time.
>>750990394next starfox remake will be good
>>751007910those are old people games as far as toddlers are concerned
The last quarterly report had the switch 2 software sales lag behind switch 1 by 10 million sales. How much did the gap widen or shrink since then?Funny thoughTendies be like >stop complaining about the lack of games and buy scrimblo bimblo and the $70 fetus game right the fuck now >me? Oh I’d never buy scrimblo bimblo
>>751008154Mario was platforming with a timer and deaths and power ups and going from a to B quickly. Yoshi island was Nintendo trying to prove you don’t need graphics to make a good game and it’s a platformer that’s more about exploring and solving the maps puzzle. Yoshi has become less about doing 2D Mario stuff and more and more about puzzle solving in a 2D world with fancy unique art. It’s more niche but has a following and answers a need for Nintendo’s customers that don’t want to zoom past levels at high speed with the stressful element. It’s also just too hard for a toddler despite people presuming the art is kid art so it’s child friendly. Mario is much much more kid friendly because you just move and jump. Yoshi requires thinking about the environment and interacting with it in clever ways to advance. Kids just don’t understand that level of game until they’re older.
This is some hilarious cope from FWfags. A majority of a games' sales are made during the post launch period. It's not going to suddenly shoot up rapidly in 2027. 3H was already breaking ceilings before it was even revealed to be in Smash. FW's ceiling has now been set around slightly higher than Engage at best. And that's pathetic when Engage had a lot of things going against it while FW had a lot of things going in favor of it.
>>750989339seems like $50 games are the future if they're making more money
Air riders sold about as well as return to Dreamland so I think that's pretty good. Shame I can't match with people in Japan though
>>75100864880€ and even 70€ was always gigacope by retarded companies. Only the most batshit insane massive games guaranteed to selll minimum 30 million anyway are able to pull that off and even those would benefit from more people buying than less people paying more.
isn't funny how random nintendo games outsell most of the AAA industry, because they're like older retro videogames rather than AI movies?
>>751008749The game is fucking dead in europe. They should definitely patch it with worldwide matchmaking.
>>751008897what happens if you search in the online modes like ranked then? you just get nobody?
>>751008878>gamers prefer gamesThere are those who are paid 6 figure salaries who can't figure that out.
>>751008897I hope emulation unironically fixes this unless it throws cheaters into the queue. Emulation turned FE Engage from a 10/10 to an 11/10 with the good mods around. Buying and emulating works for me
>>751008878It's not funny, it's cathartic. Here we have a completely corrupted videogame industry trying, and failing, to sell people movie games as the next evolution in gaming while firing thousands of employees so Mr. Generic Indian CEO can pocket more money. On the other hand, we have this 100+ year old toy company who has been able to fight the constant misinformation and hostility from western media by just releasing fun games while nurturing their IPs so people can find enjoyment in joining their ecosystem.It's so fucking simple: Just develop fun videogames, there's always the opportunity of creating a plot about the endless circle of revenge or the perseverance of the human soul against the endless abyss as long as your videogame is FUN.
>>750992772Your Nintendo would have failed in by 2005.
>>751008234Each stage has a default path that does the Mario odyssey type thing if giving the idea with not much else going on. So you’ll pop in the level and encounter the creature and then you can do the Yoshi stuff to it, eggs, tongue, stomp, put it on your back, jump on its back, ground pound etc. and this will show all the things it can do. And this rewards you with a ‘star’ yes. The it goes into a stage where you explore the map with it and interact with other creatures or objects usually in a first order way. Maybe a flamethrower ant is used to light five torches for example.The each stage has a bug central puzzle that’s somewhat apparent quickly and that would be using the flamethrower and to light torches and raise the water level up high enough to put out the queen fire ant and she has baby’s or whatever and then the stage ends.But that’s usually about 20-30% if they Stage and there are then much harder puzzles in the stage you go back and find and solve that are usually much more invoked and complex and may have time or platforming based challenges based on each creatures gimmick.Getting in there and getting some stars and getting credits to get the next creature is kind of easy. Getting each creature to 80% is hard and doing 100% is very challenging. The plot idk, I didn’t think there was one. It’s like two cutscenes and then bowser jr shows up at the boss fights. The game is very good and very original. People who like Yoshi will like it. I’d say it’s the right length but I did about 80% of it and didn’t just rush to credits.
>>750989639Wasn't it supposed to outsell Wolverine?
>>751009345At least in the US there are times where you can get like 8+ players in city trial but other times where it's like 3 or 4 players and 12 or so bots. A shame but at least there are lobbies too
>>751009448No? Who told you that it would?Wolverine is like the one game Sony had this year and their fanbase is starved.
>>751005942An era we all welcome.
>>751009381When I was studying board games, It was funny to realize videogames are just so concentrated on like the same 3 genres, meanwhile board gakmes had a wider range of ideas than videogames.In the end we have forgotten what is the real meaning of a game.
>>750989339>>Star Fox 1.17MIn 5 monthsPathetic. No wonder they were vague about the number until now.
>>751009345yes
>>751008493And that was with the 3house boost.
>>751009575Don't associate her with your tranny bullshit.
>>751010390>tranny bullshitThis meme is years old. Calm down.
>>751010390Calm down. There is a simple reason the map is blue in that image and it has nothing to do with the political parties.
>>751008249Beating Engage is all they have, it's like watching two homeless people fighting over bread.
>>750989339It's physical only, right?
>>751006249This faggot was raped by FE or something, this is pure seethe
>>751009373only shitskins emulate and they love cheating
>>750989339I love splatoon :)
>>751007956Nintendo's next innovation is an all digital cloud streaming console. Enjoy the Switch 2 while you have it.
>>750989339I'm glad Deep Cut's game flopped. Hideous idols.
>>751010760Pretty sad that's the goalpost they had to settle for when this is a literal successor to 3 Houses.
>>751003378even if engage did have marketing, it still will slop badly, cope engage faggot.
How has Switch not fucking outsold PS2 yet***?? What's taking so long?***Third revised
>>750989339>Tomodachi Life has sold 8.8M copiesthe fuck
>>751000353for these games? no
>>751011828they keep finding new underwater collapsed civilizations where they had 5M shipments of PS2s preordered right before a volcano wiped them out
>>751009448an $80 JRPG to outsell Wolverine®?Crazy anybody would think that would've happened
>>751002782>like, how many other niche series would kill to have consistency like that?Which is really funny because before Awakening, Fire Emblem was absolute hot steaming garbage. Every game was low-selling slop. If Awakening did not revive the series, Fire Emblem was done for. By some miracle, their Hail Mary paid off. And now the fans are the most entitled bunch. Maybe it is the type of new fans that came in. Maybe it is the old fans thinking they are high and mighty. Maybe it is a mix of both. But I have seen a TON of toxicity coming from the Fire Emblem fanbase. Like rubbing it on beating other games/series. Like come on.
>>751005213Crafted world was kinda on the easy side.My problem was each world had like 2-3 levels and only a third have a boss level.And with the level size it felt like it should have been one of those "over 100 levels!" games, except it had like 35 or something.
>>751004347wii u had mario kart 8 outselling the fucking console.
kekky bekky nobody buying switch 2 games
>>751005795But even women like actually doing something, don't they? Or is the "doing something" just decorating, like most of animal crossing "gameplay" consists of?
>>751007653Because its THE 4TH FUCKING REMAKE U PIECE OF SHIT.
>>751012568>calls an entire 12 game series slop just because it didn't sell high numbersHow are you real?
>>751012568>And now the fans are the most entitled bunch. Maybe it is the type of new fans that came in. Maybe it is the old fans thinking they are high and mighty. Maybe it is a mix of both.>But I have seen a TON of toxicity coming from the Fire Emblem fanbase. Like rubbing it on beating other games/series.The original fanbase split mainly between Kaga FE and the FEs after that but before Awakening. Then they splintered even more (in addition with new zoomer blood) after Awakening and even more after 3H. It's a mess because the content and demographic for the "eras" (which can usually be denoted by the main artist) is all over the place, so you have multiple kinds of freaks at each other's necks.
>>750996378>I still dont get exactly what made Engage so toxic to consumers though.All other replies are overthinking it. It was the hair.
>>751007792Yeah, it's actually harder than you'd expect from modern Yoshi. It's just that it isn't an obstacle dodging platformer in the traditional sense. There's no way a toddler could complete the post-chapter 6 stuff. It literally took me longer to 100% than Bananza.
>rhythm heaven outsold wolverineLMAO
>>751003378Did you love your shitty engage discord general so much you'll fight for that shit for the rest of your life
>>751013897Funny to things work out innit?
>>751003378engage was in directs and treehouses and had a 20 min video that went out about the game before it came out just like FW.
>>751004975Starfox Assault kicked SSOOOOO MUCH ASS. What would it take Nintendo to get their head out their own ass and recognize it as starfox's future damnit
>>751015087Based.
>>751014629>engage was in directsDirect, singular. Post release dlc being in a direct is a different thing. FW was in 4 directs.>treehousesIt actually didn't, only 3H and FW got that treatment of the switch games.>20 minute video that went out about the game before it came outSince NoA's youtube page has nothing that long on Engage I'll assume you're talking about that FE for all video, which came out 3 days before the game released.
>>751015087This
>>751015087They'd have to stop listening to the retards always clamoring for another railshooter (which is a completely dead genre)
