Yes that game did bad, but  did anyone expect a mature game on a failed system to do well? No.

Xenoblade Chronicles X did well.

XCX is a good game.

 

Devil's Third isn't.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

Well, yeah, obviously. XD

Just pointing out that "it's a mature game" does not explain DT's failure as there are plenty of mature games on the system that sold considerably better.

This really is not as hard as you guys are making it. Sure Barbie may have sold 100,000, but no one expected it to hit a million.
Star Fox should have pushed two million. Reviews were not kind either.

You're asking for their opinion. So they are going to give you their opinion. Nothing hard about that. Okay? So seriously. You think it was star fox? Good for you. Now zip it and don't tell others that yours is more credible than theirs.

It's gotta be this surely?

Nah, Sonic Boom is a bigger bomb than bombing bastards.

 

 

Wait a second. Look at the title

"Bombing Bastards"

 

How did Nintendo allow profanity to be in the title of one of the games? Never thought the day would come

I'm guessing that there is some family tree action in the game and you find out that some of the characters in the game come from familys where the mother and father are not in fact married. So the name stands and isn't really profanity. In the same way as the proposed sequel to Nintendogs on the 3ds featuring only female dogs with rabies called "Bitches be Crazy" but it was dropped before demo testing sadly.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Devil's 3Rd,
Yokai dance,
Sonic boom,
Star Fox,
Animal Crossing festival,
Codename S.T.E.A.M

So hard to choose an.... ahem... Winner.

I'll go with devil's third considering the hype it got before people found out it sucked.

StarFox Zero. It was like the reverse Metroid Prime.

How so?

Probably Starfox- but a few other to consider:
Wii Sports Club
Wonderful 101
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Just Dance 2014
Wii Fit U
All of these had significantly higher expectations than they achieved

People had hope and expectations that StarFox Zero would be good before release and it ended up doing poorly, both critically and commercially.  From what I remember, almost no one thought Metroid Prime was going to be good before release and it ended up reviving the franchise and being a critical and commercial success.
