Nintendo updated it's official sales numbers with their earnings report.

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/software/index.html

I always find it fascinating to see how the old system's numbers change if you compare them to when they were last updated in September and December. Is it possible that the Wii version of some of these games are still outselling the Wii U versions?

Wii Sales - Past 6 Months
+150,000 New Super Mario Bros Wii
+120,000 Mario Kart Wii
+60,000 Super Smash Bros Brawl
+50,000 Wii Sports Resort
+40,000 Wii Party
+30,000 Super Mario Galaxy
+20,000 Wii Sports


Wii U Sales - Past 3 Months
+130,000 Super Mario 3D World
+70,000 Super Mario Maker
+60,000 New Super Mario Bros U
+60,000 New Super Luigi U
+60,000 Wind Waker
+50,000 Mario Kart 8
+50,000 Mario Party 10
+40,000 Super Smash Bros for Wii U

It's crazy to be honest how you can still walk into your local wal-mart and see about as many games for the Wii being sold new behind a case while the Wii U section sits there, shrinking smaller and smaller after every switch physical release.

Still happy I got Binding of Issac physical from a rural super Wal-Mart in Utah, my local Wal-Mart is tiny as poo poo for games and only has the big nintendo releases.

Looking at it the wrong way.
Alright, so Gamestop isn't doing a midnight, so I caved and converted my in-store pre-order to digital. Though... I'm starting to get the feeling I should've canceled it outright to buy on the eshop as I don't actually think they're going to give me my code until the store opens tomorrow anyways.

Have I just been self-owned? Though to be fair I'm probably still better off than the ones that had it shipped.

Honestly if the new 2ds xl was 100 bucks I'd consider it more but 150 bucks for a console with no game bundled in is not worth it, espeically with very few new big games coming out as its near the end of its life cycle with the Switch looking to consume both Nintendo's handheld and console market.

It's not nearing end of life when they release a brand new updated model. And the backlog from the 3DS/2DS line destroys anything Switch has available since all Switch is doing is releasing a plethora of indie games which are already out, and cheaper, on the 3DS/2DS library for the forseeable future aside from Odyssey, Mario Kart, Xenoblade, and a few other honorable mentions.

So...

I just beat level 3-10 of Puyo Puyo Tetris.

On attempt like 150 or so.

This is the first game in years which activated that mode in the very back of my brain that goes all "gently caress me? No, gently caress you" and commits to playing it over and over until I get it. I think the Switch's ultra-fast resume helps a lot with that.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is fantastic, and I suck at Tetris and suck slightly less at Puyo Puyo.

EDIT: And then I beat 4-1 on my first try. Why was 3-10 so loving hard?

I may have made the worst possible mistake I could have trying to keep the in-store preorder. Like I would've gotten a better turnaround had I just ordered from their website, which I thought is what I would get if I converted but it seems like it's treated as an in-store pickup.

So I guess I'm gonna be late to the online gold mario party by at least ~10 hours, in the worst case.

It's okay. In the end, you still get to play Mario Kart. Probably...

I'm still laughing at someone thinking a new nintendo console means the lifespan is going to continue after Nintendo had a gameboy advance system come out well after the DS was released. At least the DSi had a few years for it, but Switch is already here and the 3ds library of upcoming games is small, with Pokemon the last blockbuster. And I highly doubt they're making another generation of Pokemon on it.

ur fighting the tetris king u expect him to be easy???

Real talk the game wants you to do a t-spin or two to knock him out. It took me 4-5 tries then I got a single t-spin and he just blew the gently caress up. Tetris vs Tetris is going to become a lot more endless and one sided if you don't get t-spins down.

yes and yes. it's very good, but it's essentially the same as the original with lovely animations / minor tweaks and polish. if you can handle somewhat archaic game design you will enjoy it
