Sony and Nintendo fans will benefit the most by Microsoft being bullish on becoming No. 1. Why? Nintendo and Sony will make even better games to keep them No. 3.....classics and more classics!
Christmas comes early! December 7th!!!!!! Boo Lake, Berlin Byway, London Loop, Peach Gardens and Rock Rock Mountain look to be my favorites but I welcome them all! Hoping DK Mountain (GameCube) and Airship Fortress (DS) come in 2023!
@somnambulance I agree with that too! My first console was the NES as a kid (own all the Nintendo consoles). I've also owned every Sony console except the Vita (and PS1) since the PS2 era. Nintendo Switch has a very good chance of reaching DS and PS2 numbers. Even surpassing them. We'll know once Switch hits around 135 million if it will be possible. I've always thought Nintendo wont quit until it happens.
@somnambulance I agree 100%. Its truly amazing to think that the Nintendo Switch will be the third best selling console of ALL TIME by the end of December....probably by the end of November worldwide.
This game has to be over 3 million sold by now which is more than enough to make a sequel. For the fighting genre that is a success. I enjoy the game and everyone seems to say the same. Nintendo supports Pikmin which sells equivalent to ARMS or even Fire Emblem.
@Serpenterror I agree completely. I think once Switch hits 140 Million there will be a significant price drop strategy at Nintendo to SURPASS PS2 and DS by tens of millions. Could be Holiday 2023 or Summer 2024......
@Serpenterror My thoughts exactly. I added it to my Wish List. You should do the same. They actually know how many have certain games on Wish Lists and I believe they put games on sale according to the Wish List demand.
Nintendo should go $29.99 on all its hit first party digital games next year. Its time....and sales would go through the roof! Bring back Players Choice at least digitally!
If Nintendo Switch gets a significant price drop it can get close to PS2. PS2 had $99.99-$149.99 price points. I bought my first PS2 (a Slim) in November 2006 because PS3 and Wii were sold out. PS2 had Rockstar's Bully and Final Fantasy 12 brand new that fall! If Nintendo can drop the price to $149.99 (Lite)-$199.99 (Main)-$249.99 (OLED) with Metroid Prime 4 and a new 2D Super Mario in whatever its final year will be....I think PS2 and DS numbers will happen. Right now it should hit 125 Million-128 Million this Christmas which obviously is huge. Next year it should be in the 130-140M....
Super Mario Sunshine should get a spiritual successor. Bring F.L.U.D.D. back! It makes since game play wise seeing the success of Splatoon. I think it would sell 20 Million+. Super Mario Sunshine is lowkey GOAT.
I woke up this morning literally thinking about Nintendo's history of consoles and what could be next. 😎 I love the Nintendo Switch... its slowly becoming my all time favorite Nintendo console. Already Top 2. 💕
The fact Nintendo Switch can support 8 controllers at once gets overlooked but it's awesome. Games like Shredders Revenge on Nintendo Switch can have six players at ONCE unlike the PS5 version.
@progx I agree 100%. And "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + Booster" is a 10/10 game. I have to make myself stop playing and I have been playing Mario Kart 8 since it's 2014 launch day.
@RollTide19801980 I'm very sure the Switch version will run in 1080p like all Switch Online games do. So the graphics will look better than the N64 days. 😎 I understand what you are saying but Microsoft actually might be timed exclusive with the 4K version until Nintendo gets a more powerful Switch. I can't see this game looking better in 4K than 1080p (it would need a complete overhaul in textures). It might even look worse in some areas. We'll see soon enough.
The Switch version will be 1080p and probably improved but Xbox has to try and brag (I understand their pain lol) when Nintendo published this game so I'll stick with Nintendo. 😎 💯
The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom looks fantastic. Excited always for the upcoming Waves for Mario Kart 8. And Pikmin 4. There were a lot of nice games tucked in the presentation. Games like Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and Sifu were nice surprises as I thought they would be Sony exclusive. Sifu got a 9 from IGN. There was something for everyone in this direct. I'll be playing Goldeneye as well. 😎
@KindofaBigDeal I am calm but I will not be quiet... Lol. I will spam these comments with truth. All that nonsense last week. So many said it wasn't going to sell like Splatoon 2. They wanted it to flop. I won't stop until they get Splatted by Splatoon 3's massive success. 😎
Splatoon 3 whooped the nay sayers a$$es. You suckaz got Splatted!!!! Lmao 😎 You can keep playing Splatoon on Wii U. Splatoon 3 is new and going to sell like crazy. Lmao
@Cakefish I wish I see these Splatoon 3 nay sayers say anything negative about the sequel to Breath Of The Wild. It's going to sell 30 million+. Easy. 😎
Some of the same wrong people are still not admitting they were wrong last week talking all that smack... Lol. Splatoon 3 whooped yall a$$es. 😎
@Outerdragon Absolutely! It's a massive phenomenon. Bigger than even Pokémon launches on Switch in Japan. Splatoon is not joking around anymore. 😂 Haha

Re: Splatoon 3 Sold Almost 8 Million Units In September, 2022
My first Splatoon game. I told you guys it was going to be huge. I predicted 13 Million worldwide by the end of this year alone. Its easily on target!
Re: Here Are The Top Ten Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games As Of September 2022
Mario Kart 8 will definitely hit 60 Million. Cant wait for Wave 3 of the new content. Still play it almost every single day!
Re: Talking Point: Would You Prefer 'Super Mario Odyssey 2' Or A Totally New 3D Mario?
Super Mario Sunshine should get a spiritual successor. Bring F.L.U.D.D. back! It makes since game play wise seeing the success of Splatoon. I think it would sell 20 Million+. Super Mario Sunshine is lowkey GOAT.
