Most the games you listed are niche Nintendo games and will sell like 1-2million.

For example unless star fox evolves it will be lucky to sell one million. Most the star fox gamers moved onto other consoles years ago and one game won't bring them back if its a HD rehashed N64 game.

 Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon, DK, Smash Bros, Mario Kart are not niche. 7 out of 10.


See I would say the following are:

Metroid (aint no halo level)

DK (just appeals to some Nintendo fans)

Pokemon (nichie for console, I personally dont knwo anyone who bought the ones that did come out on consoles)

Metroid. Cause it isn't Halo doesn't mean it can't be impressive and amazing (Retro's next game for sure, they kinda confirmed it already)

And DK, explain the nearly 6 million sales for DKCR and the good sales for the port on the 3DS?


I never said Metroid is a bad game, Nintendo could market it better and make it grow into a huge franchise on their systems, jsut like MIcrososft did with Halo.

Star fox has the same potential to appeal to a wider audience if done right.

As for DKCR and most recent ones have only sold somewhat well in the USA compared to previous installment. In other regions the game has declined even further ever generation .

Nintendo essentially needs to work out what franchises out of these nichie ones have the potential to expand their audience on the Wii U and become huge franchises likemario and zelda have.
