Easy explanation... The game has really low stock (In my country, we have no copies left, so I can't buy the game, sadly) and nintendo's undershipping it! I mean FY15Q2 shipments were just 10k.... And this game isn't the only victim of Nintendo's undershipping and underestimation ! Pikmin 3 and DKTF are too, I have seen many complaints from people because they can't or it's hard to find it and due to that their price has been inflated... New super mario bros U also is fairly unappreciated, some people due to bad word of mouth by a loud minority have the misconception,that is not a good game, therefore they don't purchase it! This was wii u's launch game, in 2012, ergo it had a huge drawback of being in the period when wii u was in utter bad position before Mario kart 8 arrival... The game sold blazingly fast but then it plummeted it, mainly because is Nintendo's fault! They should at least bundle it again with super mario 3d world or with super mario maker! It deserves more sales, at least surpassing super mario sunshine but given the situation, it's hard! I can see it becoming a Nintendo select shortly though! I can't fathom why Nintendo had stopped so early bundling the game... Super mario 3D world+ New super mario bros U is better than SM3W with Nintendo land! Message | Report |

@t3mporary It most likely has most to do with the significant drop in sales in Japan. From 200k to about only 20k for 2/3 of the year. Message | Report |

You can call it a "rehash" if you want to, but quite frankly, it has plenty of "new" content in it, especially with the heavy Mario World flavor, compared to many other third party franchises that rehash all the damn time. Mario games are always high quality and fun, at least. Also, it's worth pointing out that this game's attach rate, at almost 2 million copies sold, compared to the system only selling around 3.4 or so million, is really damn good. So in THAT context, it's hardly a failure at all. The real problem, was Nintendo releasing NSMB2 on 3DS. They should have either released that sooner than they did, or waited till 2013 to release it, to give NSMBU space and make it seem more unique in the marketplace. Message | Report |

I don't think it was. This game is a rehash and Nintendo fans are not dumb enough to just blindly buy it just for this game. NSMBU is a great game, but not a system seller. Zelda U, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros 4. THOSE are system sellers. Message | Report |

NSMBU is a decent enough single player game but nothing special however the game becomes a blast with 2 or more players. Bumping one another into enemies or accidently killing each other with a shell and those fail moments when you both bubble yourself are very funny. Message | Report |

The attachment rate for this game to the Wii U is whats important to look at. The Wii U console is selling badly, which is also the only reason this game is selling badly in comparison to previous 2D Mario games. When the Wii U excels again, so will this game. That attachment ratio is very telling. The Wii U is partially selling badly due to terrible marketing as well...so many people think "Wii U" is some sort of tablet for the regular Wii, rather than a whole new console. Nintendo must been kicking themselves for trying to be clever with the title "Wii U". Should have just named it "Wii 2". No one would misunderstand what the Wii U is then. The 3DS had a similar problem, with people thinking it was just another DS but with 3D. At least people knew the 3DS was an actual console, though. Message | Report |

Only 3 games have a good attach rate on North America launch : NSMBU, NL and Zombi, all others are under 20% attach rate which is the limit for what I call a hit, Blops 2 being just under the limit. So, 2 Nintendo games plus an exclusive, we have a podium. Zombi is great according to my brother, I think I'll buy NL on eShop to play with him and later NSMBU but not sure. Message | Report |
