I doubt this will even profit. Everyone says this is a budget title, but this is one of the best looking games on Wii U.

Nintendo just needs to kill off Kirby and we'll all be fine. Let HAL make a new IP.

I never act like Metroid is a big money maker. I don't even care nor ask for a new Metroid game.

What I do want is no more 2D games on Wii U. And especially no Kirby.

This franchise is nowhere near good enough or sells enough to have justified 23 (!) games in a time span of 22 years. Get real.

You doubt it but if they shell out 400k-500k i bet thats definitely far enough, especially going by they are only charging $40, not to mention They green lit this while the predecessor sold 720k on DS. Its definitely not as bad as your making it. Equivalently FE on WiiU would need 600k+ to profit as stated by nintendo i believe back in 2012/2013. This game wouldn't nearly cost as much to make as that.

Also, stop with the "Kirby needs to stop/die"... Its BS! You just sound like someone tht doesn't like a franchise, thus it must stop.

Jokes on You apparently^ As they wouldn't make that many games if there wasnt something there. BTW the last Kirby is over 1.7mil and will head up over 2mil+ lifetime, seems like they aren't going to stop, especially with a spin off budget title. You can bet will get at least 1 more Kirby, and it just might be a 2D Platformer for the WiiU which i do hope comes.

Kirby Triple Deluxe is only at 1.38M.

2D Metroid wouldn't be more expensive to develop and would sell similar numbers.

Sorry for not wanting annualized franchises to exist. Especially with weak sales like that. If it was selling like CoD or Assasins Creed perhaps.

Kirby has about as much games as Zelda despite being 6 years younger. Let that sink in. There are more Kirby platformers than Mario platformers. There are more Kirby games than main Pokémon games. There are more Kirby games than DKC games (despite each DKC game blowing Kirby away saleswise).
