I think Excitebots was a bit of a hard sell too... I mean racing robot bugs? Honestly, I think Nintendo and Monster Games would've been better served just doing a new F-Zero as originally planned.
Still, I'd say both Captain Rainbow and Excitebots did even dramatically worse than expected. There was more at play here than them just being relatively esoteric/niche/confused titles, Nintendo really handled them terribly.
