The answer is pretty easy. X has different audience than Wii or GC. Halo suits X users and that's the reason of success. Metroid was a good game but this fact alone is not enough. Metroid 3 will bomb totally because Wii users are much more casual then GC's. Nintendo doesn't need Metroid franchise. They feel much more comfortable with all this child oriented stuff. |
You don't understand the Wii demographic. Casual doesn't mean child-oriented. I'd say the majority of Wii owners are actually people like me in their mid-to-late twenties or early 30's. Unlike when I was a teenager, I just don't have the time (or the interest) to spend hours upon hours gaming, but I'd still pick up this game. I really liked MP1, but I had lost interest in the GC before MP2 came out. I picked up MP2 used a month ago, and I'm now trying to get Batallion Wars (which I also never played), as the Wii resparked my interest.
Anyway, I think MP3 will far exceed expectations, but it won't be able to catch the Halo juggernaut.
