They really haven't sold well :( My favorite, Aria of Sorrow, is arguably the best GBA game and it didn't break 300,000. Anyway, back on topic, if I was an executive at Konami I don't think I would bother making the game for Wii U. It's just a risky proposition. Although they could have some fun with connectivity between the 3DS game and the Wii U version...something like the relationship between Metroid Fusion and Metroid Prime. |
Castlevania broke even which is why it got a sequel. A very underrated hit to be exact. There are games that have sold worse like Sleeping Dogs, for instance which is horrible, because that game was a bitchslap to GTA IV and a wakeup call to how combat should be done in GTA style games. The Castlevania reboot deserves the Demon Souls/ Batman:AA treatment because it is quite a challenging hack n slash on the hardest settings and a great story, with awesome production value. Its no God of War, but I would say its truly a great mixture of God of War, Castlevania and Shadow of the Colossus. If you like all three of those games, you really cannot lose. This is where the word underrated is thrown around, because its rather true.
