Ka-pi96 said: hmm, doesn't seem to be all that much correlation. The Gamecube is surprising though, seemed to have received so much more support than Nintendo is used to from that. Sega vs Nintendo is also pretty interesting. Although from what I've heard Nintendo always used to be very strict about what 3rd party games could release on their consoles so I'd expect that plays a big part in why the Sega consoles got more games per million sales. |
Well, it did receive at least one installment of each of their IPs, including new ones.
- Mario (Sunshine, Double Dash, Luigi's Mansion, Party 4,5,6, and 7, Thousand Year Door, etc.)
- Zelda (Wind Waker, Four Swords, and Twilight Princess.)
- Pokemon (not the mainline games, for reasons obvious, but still.)
- Metroid (Prime 1 & 2)
- Star Fox (Adventures and Assault)
- Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
- F-Zero GX
- Pikmin (1 & 2)
- Animal Crossing
- Kirby Air Ride
- And of course, Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Plus, it got some pretty damn good 3rd party support, miles better than the Nintendo 64, Sonic being on a Nintendo console for the first time was a very big deal. So, while it didn't sell as many units as the other Nintendo consoles at that point and was the worst selling Nintendo system until the Wii U, it's overall library was great and those who did buy the system always had something to play and something to look forward too.
