Fastest switch but Zelda was Switch and Wii U.

I figure they would have mentioned it was their fastest selling game of the year too if it beat Zelda.

If People want an idea of how's its doing so far here are launch numbers.

500k japan (Highest debuting 3D Mario)
1.1 Million US(fastest and highest debuting Mario)
>80k UK(Highest 3D Mario)
55k Spain(over 75% of 3D World LTD sales in a weekend btw)

Europe Overall: Fastest selling Mario Ever
Australia/NZ: Fastest selling Mario ever

So it seems like The first party are selling like crazy.

Fantastic sales for Mario, and it seems like its well deserved. Can't wait to pick up a Switch and play it.

Wow.  I think only like 2 or 3 people here got a Wii U (unless I'm wrong, which I probably am.)

But I'm pretty sure just as many people have already gotten a switch or plan to.

I'm honestly wondering what I'll use the Switch for after Mario. Might get Xenoblade 2 just for the hell of it, assuming it turns out to be good.

That's the big reason I'm hesitant getting a switch just for Mario. The only other released game I want for it is Mario+Rabbids.

Then it's a dry season until Metroid next year. Is switch about to have a drought?

The Switch is about to have a massive drought unless Nintendo is able to pull something out of the hat that we know nothing of and that releases in the next 6 months. I guesss they could whip out some Wii U remasters.

I mean to me it's not a big deal as it looks like I'll be more than busy enough just trying to keep up with all the stuff releasing on PS4 early next year, but I maintain that this drought will be a noticable hit to the Switches momentum.

Yep I'm hoping for the same. I want Odyssey, Mario Kart and extra joycons. If I can get those for a reasonable price (maybe £300 or less) I'll bite.

[DerNebel]

I'm thinking of trying to get a 4K TV on Black Friday.  

[Cute Pikachu]

To those worried about droughts.
We have Yoshi and Kirby for early 2018 and Nintendo in their investor call said they will not have the software release momentum stop in early 2018.

[the-pi-guy]

I'm sure we will get a Nintendo direct in the next few months.
