The following comes from GameStop’s senior director of merchandising, Eric Bright

“Breath of the Wild, with it being fresh and new content, has fed the Zelda lovers in all of us, so I think it will be pretty hard to match that for a while. I think Breath of the Wild will go down in history as one of the greatest games to be released in this past decade.

Nintendo is really zeroed in on [providing] high quality games, with Zelda being one of the most highly-rated games we’ve seen a while. It’s pretty much near perfect. If you haven’t played it, you should. Unbelievable that they were able to package this much in a game, and make it portable thanks to the Switch. Just an amazing game.”

Mr. Bright also chimed in on the upcoming Mario Kart 8 Deluxe...

“Mario Kart without a doubt will be huge. We know the interest from previous sales of Mario Kart, and we know that Mario Kart on the Switch is going to extend that.”
