I think its a little unfair to compare brothership's sales to Mario RPG or the thousand year door because those two games are games that people loved and enjoyed for years, while brothership is a brand new game. People will hesitate on buying a game that is brand new since they don't know much about it, but they will immediately buy a remaster of an older game that they know they love or know for a fact is good
@KieransFanboy_GlitchyАй бұрын
Honestly think people are blowing this waaay out of proportion so lets be realistic for a second. Mario and luigi brothership dropped early november and it already passed paper jam which had 50.105 launch sales, its nearly surpassing superstar saga which is 63.839 while it has 63.441 (as of the image provided). Lets also take into consideration that its a new studio working on the series and sure having some old members of alphadream working on it will make it not flop as much, it ultimately falls under the same line: its a new studio picking up scraps of an old company. Its only fair it wont do as well especially when the hype of the series for the general public isnt as there and its the company testing the waters of a vast rpg series that was praised highly. I doubt nintendo will kick the bucket for the series especially after the form they did regarding as to what we as fans wanted to see from the rpg genre

@@stnrodriguezI wouldn't say never. Paper Jam wasn't a good game then on top of that this game and the last one just came on a dying system. Either that or the audience for video games has change in the past couple decades. Which it has cause there's way more casual gamers than core gamers and you can tell that just by the way games are shifting nowadays. They're Definitely going more towards being a movie game with an empty open world and with very mundane quests. It's all about good graphics and how big the game is rather than the quality of gameplay which always tend to suffer. When the first Mario and Luigi came out video games was still kind of a niche thing outside of maybe sport games and GTA probably.

I should hope Im not the only one thinking this, but uh… ign is a *western* thing, ain’t it? The whole point of this video was about JP’s initial sales, wasnt it, so why should ign really matter much for the jp crowd? Edit psa: sigh, look, the reason, since you say you don’t know, is because what we were saying since ttyd got revealed, only reinforced when this got revealed; it’s because they’ve just released all the mario rpg’s in too quick succession, we _saw_ it was already so when ttyd underperformed after mariorpg. they basically shot themselves in the foot releasing them all within a year. That’s at least one of the most major reasons here, I thought you’d bring that up in the vid tbh. Ah, and the only other thing I’ll wanna add, is my own personal opinion on what woulda made this game better, cus you claim is supposedly ‘didnt innovate enough, or did things too similarly to the previous ones’, when this is literally the most different one structure-wise to the others. But i think the problem that woulda made more peeps like it, is it shoulda been _more_ like the other ones than it is, cus what we have here is, whether ya like to admit it or not, basically a level system. You could even, if ya wanted to go there, say, a mission structure. That is not how the series has gotten its appeal, normally spending a good chunk of time getting through each of 6-8 sections of a world, with maybe a round 2 through them after the first, that’s what I think the problem with the story is; most people think just ‘story’ is all there is to it, but in a story, there’s _plot_ and there’s _scenario_ , and I think the scenario is where this falls behind, cus it’s just a bigger amount of smaller less interesting, less rich and thought out places here. That’s a departure from the others, sure, but a bigger more interconnected world is just what (one of) the appeal of the series til now was, even paper jam did that, but… yeah, this isn’t even me saying this impacts my own enjoyment or anything, just pointing out what i view as facts.
@marioandultrachapАй бұрын
I think its bad timing. Except for Paper jam cause that game just wasnt that good these gsmes tend to come out at the tail end of the consoles life span. Granted there are problems with the game but i seen games have way more problems that sell better. But with the switch being this old and people probably being more burnt out by it likely contributed to the problem. Partners in time and dream team released during the peak of their systems popularity so of course they did better and partners in time was said to be not the greatest in the series but even that sold well. If they had released this game somewhere around 2020 2021 maybe i think it would of did a lot better. Despite its flaws.
