Yes I consider it a success. I think it'll break a million lifetime which is great considering the install base. It also has amiibo support and I predict DLC. The sequel does have other avenues it can take that the first did not. 4 player Co op for example. Other things could be added too. I hate to say it but I probably would have loved a online competitive mode where you throw turnips at each other while trying to take the power star.
