@jump they removed my conversation about a
remake of Fire Emblem Geneoly of the Holy War? i was trying to explaing to JaxonH why i dont believe Nintendo will release this game(they can release this game or not.
Apparently Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope underperformed according to Ubisoft.
A shame, but it doesn't surprise me. Ubisoft titles are notorious for tanking in price within a few months after launch, and Kingdom Battle has pretty much perpetually been a $20 budget title since like mid-2018. Us dedicated players know to wait for a sale, and general consumers likely thought it was way overpriced because they think the series is a budget series.
Edit: Also Kingdom Battle launched at a time when there was little competition and was really the first major single player title post-Zelda, so it benefited from that.
I agree with the comment above. The first Mario Rabbids released when there were hardly any games on the switch. It was in a very advantageous sales posistion. I really liked the first Mario Rabbids, but skipped the new one.
@gcunit in fairness to her she seems driven by what’s being reported on so if no one is reporting then no action is taken.
A lot of the younger users on here seem paranoid of hot button topics will cause a huge argy bargy (which based on their short few years of life of seeing the MAGA attack on Washington, covid lockdown riots etc they are now scared of the results from a differences of opinion) so they are tad too zealous with the report button. It’s a shame though as most of the users on here are capable of having a conversation with a difference of opinion without calling the other person a ******* **** ****** **** or a ******** ***** **** which would be a good example for them since some of those same younger users seem to go nuclear on touchy subjects with their opinions by posting all cap messages saying rather disturbing things but hey ho.
Hey guys, just popping in here to clear things up! @JaxonH apologies, I removed your post as it was reported as a spoiler, with Engage releasing soon I assumed it was a spoiler for that title. After reviewing, I can see no spoilers were actually in your message so I have reinstated it.
I appreciate all of your feedback, I'm sure you'll understand we are only trying our best to keep the site a great place for discussions and to all share our love for games but sometimes mistakes happen. Thanks for your understanding 💖

I think the real reason is that Ubisoft has spent the last 5 years destroying price integrity with fire sale prices mere weeks after their games launch.
Macroeconomics courses even teach about the subject of price integrity and why it's crucial to maintain. You can't spent half a decade actively sabotaging your own price integrity, then act surprised when consumers stop buying your games day 1.
There are consequences for obliterating price integrity. One game getting a quick discount, maybe that won't have much effect. But year after year after year of seeing games drop half price 3 weeks post-launch, $20 in just 2 months... what did they think was going to happen?
I bought day one because it's a killer game and I want to support amazing exclusives like it. But consumer behavior at large will respond to price integrity, or the lack thereof.
I guarantee that is the number one reason the game hasn't done as well as they'd hoped. Combine that with launching just a few weeks away from Persona 5 Royal, Nier Automata, No Man's Sky, Bayonetta 3 and Pokémon... stiff competition from games whose publishers don't destroy price integrity. So when it comes to choosing, are people going to pay full price for the game that takes 2 weeks to drop to half price, or the game that takes 6 months?
In the end, the game didn't drop in price like people thought. But it's too late. That 5 years of historical precedent is what drives consumer decisions.
I do think it'll have long legs though and continue to sell for years to come.

In fact I'm rather impressed with the quality of amiibo. Most of these figures released for $12.99, yet have better detail than figures that sell for 3x that price. And don't have easily breakable parts, or parts which need to assemble, etc.
I recently bought the Fire Emblem Holy War figures from 2002 that released in Japan, and just shipping from Japan to me in a well cushioned box, several parts broke on 2 figures (I glued them back together). And the facial detail is poor. Really makes one appreciate amiibo.
