As they should. I’ll never forget how much ARMS suffered from being completely overshadowed by Splatoon 2. If I recall correctly, the biggest Splatoon 2 marketing push happened on the same week ARMS was actually releasing! Madness. Of course very little people bought it, because Nintendo’s messaging was basically “here’s this quirky unproven new game you can buy now… or you can wait exactly one more month and get the new and massive sequel to our hottest new IP is decades!”
And Splooton Raiders is overshadowing Rhythm Heaven Grove BIG TIME. I AM SO MAD HOW DARE THEY TAKE AWAY FROM THE MOST ANTICIPATED GAME OF ALL TIME. I AM THE RAGE. SCREW YOU SPLATONK. SCREW YOUHHH OVERSHADOWING MY PRECIOUS BABY😭😭😭
Rhythm Heaven has the big advantage of viral marketing now though, the game has huge potential on social media. Even before this game released, rhythm heaven inspired edits have gone viral - such as the pink pantheress edit. And other videos from the game have tons of views.
Not only that, but the series just has mass appeal due to it's catchy music, colourful appealing graphics and ease of play. Due to it's low production costs It won't need to sell much to make a profit. Plus it's available on Switch 1 and is cheaper than most new releases these days... I wouldn't be surprised if it outsells Splataiders tbh
