Could DKCR become the top selling western developed game in Japan ever?

^I assumed jarrod was joking, Kirby has never broken 2 million in Japan, even on DS or the original Gameboy (both of which were huge in Japan.)

I didn't mean to imply Kirby will break 2m... just that it'll sell more than DKCR in Japan.  I think Kirby will break a million, or come close to it though.  Not sure if DKCR will...

That would make it the worst selling DKC of all, even DKC3 did well more than a million in Japan. DKC is bigger in Japan than Kirby (the lowest DKC sold more than the best selling Kirby game in Japan, when Kirby had the install base advantage), and NSMBW showed how much the Japanese love 2D multiplayer platformers.
