Well deserved, and highly unsurprising.
Can't wait to see what kind of effect Brawl 2 will have on sales.
four times zero is still zero lmao am I funny yet This is good news. Hopefully the console will start getting some decent third-party support. The gamepad is a really interesting concept and I want to see it used for more than just menus and map screens.

I think Mario Kart 8 has had the biggest launch hype I've seen from a Nintendo game in a looong time.
They also put out that MK8 Wii U bundle which came with the game and an extra controller. Which I just bought a few days ago. I regret nothing.

[QUOTE=The Baconator;45128146]Smash Bros always sells allot less than Mario Kart games[/QUOTE] With the amount of advertising, publicity, and "nostalgia" that's being tacked onto SSB, I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes the biggest selling WiiU title for a while.
[QUOTE=Ardosos;45124060]Can't wait to see what kind of effect Brawl 2 will have on sales.[/QUOTE] Less an effect than this. Mario Kart's always sold better than Smash.
[QUOTE=Skyward;45128492]Less an effect than this. Mario Kart's always sold better than Smash.[/QUOTE] even if MK8 sells more, I feel like SSB will sell more consoles, I'll buy MK8 but I'm not going to get a Wii U to play it, I'm going to get a Wii U for SSB though, and pick up MK8 as well.

[QUOTE=The Baconator;45128146]Smash Bros always sells allot less than Mario Kart games[/QUOTE] While that's true the new Smash seems to have way more hype behind it than MK8 did.
