@Blacksaber - ^ didnt the re-release have like 400,000 sales??

If you mean the Virtual Console release, no chance.... I am certain it hasn't reached 100k, and would be suprised if it managed much more than 50k.

I just PMed DKII on the matter, because I don't have figures for America or Japan so I am just guessing them.

 

I could of swore it was higher, which why Nintendo decided to contact treasure about a sequel

Well a Wii game is bound to sell more than a downloadable, it's also a sequel, with Wii graphics instead of N64 graphics.... so it will do a lot better than the VC release.

My bets would be around 400-500k... which is perfectly reasonable and is worth it for Ninty... if it turns out really good it could do 600-700k, but that might be stretching it.

Selling that many is really good for most games remember, just because it takes a million sales to make the top tier games worthwhile (Galaxy/Smash) doesn't mean other games don't do well..... Battalion Wars is probably doing just fine with it's ~300k sales (estimating PAL sales)

Also, DKII got back to me, he says it is about 100k in the Americas, and probably less than 160k worldwide.
