I remember Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U doing something over 8 million copies, easily the best selling game on the console and a pretty impressive showing for a very unpopular console.

Also Forzas combined sales are less than MKDS IIRC.

Edit: a combined 10 million, so pretty drat low.

Well this is a weird one... I bought and downloaded Thumper, and when I fire it up, it just gets stuck at the title screen, "THUMPER" at the top, going down the straight path. The Switch isn't locked up - I can hit Home and close the software, and the game is "running", it's animating and I get sound, it just doesn't respond to any controls. The joycon are working as well, when I hit home I can do stuff and navigate around. I've tried deleting and redownloading, and restarting the switch. Any thoughts? Anyone seem something like this?

When you say restart, do you mean just pressing the power button on and off? Or a proper restart?

Hold the power button down until a menu appears
Go to 'Power Options' -> 'Restart'

Yep, I held it down. Now that I'm poking around a bit more, despite being able to use the home button, it seemed to be a problem with the joycon not working while connected. I restarted again, and unpaired the left joycon, reconnected it and now things are working. First time something like that has happened, but glad nothing is broken (I hope).

Yes. Best part was Polygon repeatedly running articles saying Mario Kart 8 would be the worst-selling Mario Kart game ever.

Even only counting the Wii U version, it ended up outselling Super Circuit for the GBA and Double Dash for the Gamecube. If you factor in the Switch version, it's since passed the original SNES one and the N64 one.

Nobody, in the history of the world, has ever said "lets go get sandwiches" and meant hotdogs.

Every time someone tries to claim hotdogs are sandwiches, the spoken word parts of Dead Flag Blues play in my head.

If I had to list series that would not make good Musou games FATE would be high on that, just below Street Fighter and Tekken.

A hotdog uses a single bun, not two slices a bread. A sandwich by definition requires two slices of bread. :colbert:

And that chart is dumb for including wraps (and tacos). Anyone who says "lets get sandwiches" and then takes you to Taco Bell should be thrown in prison.

Maybe not fate/stay night, but some fate settings neatly slot in to the format. I could see a mosou adaptation of Fate/apocryoha working.

I broke Greed Mode in Isaac. There's an item called Jera that will double the number of items on the floor. Me being a sneaky little nerd only unlocked Jera + another similar item via Challenges.

In the shop I got lucky and a Rune Bag was up for sale. Every wave that spawns in Greed Mode has a chance to spawn a rune from the bag.

So by the end of the floor I had 6 Jera runes waiting... And alllllll the coins waiting. You double what's on the floor.. then you double that.. and double that and so on

I barely moved 2 feet and maxed out 99 coins. I bought so much poo poo :swoon:
Donated almost 200 coins by the end. I'll upload a pic of it tomorrow. It's hilarious :allears:
