Well I don't think it did that outstanding as a main entry title that took a decade to happen... I think it was a just ok FW... |
It took a decade to happen, the IP was old and hasn't been updated in awhile. That's one factor why this one didn't sell as well as Pikmin 2. The other is that Nintendo made the decision to port it onto the Wii U from the Wii, and at the time they didn't know how horrible the sales figures of the Wii U could be. I'm sure that this game could've done better even if it was also on the GameCube.
