estebxx said: Well, to be honest i dont know which of the Two is the most popular now, but some years ago i would have had no doubt that Metroid was the most popular of both, i really liked the old Fire Emblem games and i think its great that the series got some traction in the last years. |
Six years ago, there was no question Metroid was the more popular franchise. Maybe even four years ago. But Awakening has outsold Other M, Awakening is a critical hit versus Other M's lukewarm reception, Fire Emblem already has a Wii U game in the works while Metroid hasn't had any kind of announcement since Other M's release 4 years ago.
Fire Emblem also has twice as many playable characters in Smash Bros. :P
