This is what happens when you move into the building where they made Donkey Kong Bananza.

They have flipped the Pokemon narrative

The people cry out for Hector

They figured out game specific carve outs like that for the VC 3DS games, letting you move stuff from RBY into Pokemon Bank and disabling save states so I think it’s mostly a business issue

I think Nintendo would have moved mountains to make it work for NSO

They could figure it out if they wanted to. The real issue is the games are worth too much for GF and Creatures to give away for free

Whatever lump sum or royalty Nintendo offered is way less than they’ll make it they sell it

If we’ve learned anything today, we’ve learned the Switch 2 is the DEFINITIVE system to play games where a small girl perches on your shoulder while you commit acts of violence

Zelda Breath of the Wild after 8 months: 4.7 million
Donkey Kong Bananza after 5.5 months: 4.25 million

DK had a holiday window in there but wow DK is so back gamers. We'll see if it's legs are more like Luigi's Mansion or BOTW, but it's looking nice so far

TY @axelsaurus.bsky.social for the tip!

I’m thinking somewhere in between Splat 2 and BOTW, Splatoon 3 limited the sales of 2 but we’re not seeing another 3D DK for a long time

BOTW sold 4.7 million in 8 months as opposed to DK’s 4.25 million in 5.5 months

Wow that’s actually really remarkable, although there should be consideration for some of those months being the holiday for DK’s case

Big Rick energy

Bananza is selling at about the same rate as Splatoon 2 did in 2017

DK: 4.25million from July 17th - December 31st
Splatoon 2: 4.91million from July 21st - December 31st

It will be interesting to see if it gets a second wind from the supposed 2028 movie release

LOL reminds me of my nightly Turbo Attack Donkey Kong Country Returns while I listen to videos at 1.5x speed

Loved the in depth metal foot video

Smh how did they not plan for the PC port 25 years in advance

Amazing, such a shame Ubisoft canned the series.

What's extra strange is there's no way it's gonna look as good as the movie, they wouldn't have the budget for that.

Layers of unnecessary

3 million copies as opposed to Kingdom Battle's 2 million. Ubisoft was disappointed in the opening numbers but it has continued to sell. It'll probably get another bump from the space theme of the movie. Would be ironic if the series Ubisoft canned was the best selling Mario RPG on Switch

Make Bowser playable = more sales. It's just that simple gamers

Gamers have you noticed that the best selling Mario RPGs of each kind- Rabbids, Paper Mario, and Mario & Luigi games have one thing in common?

I wonder if alliteration is popular or impactful in Japan. As a normie who tried his first Mega Man game (Besides Battle Network) like 2 months ago I like the English name
