Do people actually expect this to sell well?

A gorllion copies

Why wouldn't it? It's basically Super Mario Odyssey Zero.

She guaranteed 10 million copies

After 5 million Switch 2 sales just accept the fact that tendies will slurp up anything made by Nintendo.

like the wii u?

>Do people actually expect this to sell well?

Its so funny to me that when a game like E33 or KCD2 sells only 2-3 million copies people think its some gigantic success. Whereas Nintendo's d tier franchises easily sell more than that while on one fucking system. Nintendo is just a different fucking beast when it comes to software sales. So yes, DK will probably be one of the best selling games of the year behind mario kart and cod.

>>714423212
Like the virtual boy?

lol there’s literally like one other game for the system, of course it’ll sell what else are people going to play? And it isn’t an accident

its an actual game and not movie slop of course it will

>>714422467 (OP)
The real question is, will it sell more than Donkey Kong Country would?

>>714422467 (OP)
If it's got the Nintendo logo and even a whiff of nostalgia, yeah, it's gonna sell like hotcakes. Doesn’t matter if it's Donkey Kong juggling bananas for 15 hours-people will line up day one, preorder bonuses and all. Nintendo fans act like it's a moral obligation to buy the new thing.

>so, like the console from 2012?
?????????

>>714424036
When has the wiiu sold 5 million?

>>714422467 (OP)
I'm buying it and that's all that matters in my book.

>>714422467 (OP)
Well something has to be played on the console that sold 5mil units in a month and people seem tired of Mario Kart.

It will be the best selling DK game of all time.
Not because it's a good game but because there's no other games on the switch 2.

>>714422467 (OP)
20M+ life time sales
cope and seethe snoys

How did Pauline put her feet through DK's skull??

>>714428947
Tropical freeze was a fantastic game. If there was 5 million WiiUs then it would have sold well.

Luigi's Mansion 3 sold 14.25 million copies. DK Bananza will be right up there.

>>714431556
He saw that catbox picture. Thats why she looks disgusted.

>>714422467 (OP)
It maybe won't. Nintendo fumbled. They should've had a new Zelda or Mario ready for the Switch 2 lunch. Instead we got Mario Kart, which all ready lost a lot of good will, and a DK game without Retro or Rare making it. This is seal the dead of Nintendo, for sure.

>>714422467 (OP)
By this time next year it will have sold 10 million and it will go on to sell at least 25 million in the next 5 years

>>714431921
Two more weeks

>>714431921
Ah yes surely it will fail

>>714428464
This, most people are tired of Mario Kart already and will buy DK in droves to justify their $500 purchase. That's why Metroid 4 doesn't even have a release date yet. They're going to drip feed games over the next year or two and tendies will be foaming at the mouth to buy them day 1.

>>714422467 (OP)
no k rool, no buy.

>>714432410
this. either nintendo shows k. rool or we boycott the game

>>714432319
By this logic Prime 4 could be coming out as early as August, but they refuse to announce it because they want everyone to buy DK first instead of saying "it's only 1 more month, I'll wait." If it were November or some shit they'd tell us now and lose nothing.

I bought a copy

>>714431729
this is a really good comparison anon. I think you're right

>>714422467 (OP)
It should sell well just because there’s nothing else to buy on the Switch 2.

>>714433115
Exactly. I'm of the opinion that all 3 games were ready as launch titles but some jap in the board room realized people were more likely to buy them if they spaced out the releases since it's easier to stomach $70-80 every month vs dropping $750 in one shot on launch day.

>>714422467 (OP)
Who cares, I’m buying it

>>714423212
Man, anti Nintendo haters really are crashing out aren’t they

>Seeing retards that think DK is a small time franchise
Never understood this sentiment. When DK was revived on the Wii, he sold 6.53 millions copies during the latter years of the console's life and Returns' overall sales figures are 10.47 million (will be 11+ million once ppl play Bananza). Even Tropical Freeze 6.14 million copies if you combine the Wii U and Switch's sales together. Even other platformers like Ratchet, Sonic, etc aren't touching those figures consistently. DK's a funny franchise where it can stay dormant for like decade then sell like hotcakes once there's a new mainline game out. Like are you surprised that a character who appears in Mario side games frequently is popular. Bananza is without a doubt going to do Odyssey numbers (29.28 million copies) by reaching to the 20+ million club by the end of the Switch 2's life cycle.
