Super Mario Odyssey Is Killing It on Amazon
Surely, if you weren’t already hyped for the release of Super Mario Odyssey, you will be if you look at the reviews it has been receiving. It seems that due to this overwhelmingly positive reception from the gaming community many people previously on the fence have jumped onto Amazon to get the game quick, making it the second best selling game of the year already!
According to Metacritic, all of the reviews have been positive, with zero mixed or negative scores and an overall Metascore of 100. It appears this has certainly made an impact on people around the world, as it is the second best selling game of 2017, only coming behind Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch. And the crazy thing is that this happened before the game was even officially released anywhere. You can check out this ranking of Amazon’s best sellers in the industry here.
Earlier this month we told you that Nintendo was selling better than both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One had this time last year. There is no doubt that Nintendo is having a hell of a year, because in addition to both Mario titles taking the top spots for the best selling games, the third best selling game of the year is none other than The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
We’ll have to wait and see what the NPD charts have to say next month and where Super Mario Odyssey will stack up against its competition. Are you excited about Super Mario Odyssey? Are you planning on picking it up? Let us know in the comments below and keep it locked for updates.
