There is a big reason why MK and SSB became big because all the charecters in those games are existing ones and familiar to everyone, but splatooon is is not using a single charecter from their IPs which is a big difference so dont expect success in this game unless they  add charecters from their IPs. Nintendo games sells only if the game has their IP charecters but not from the scratch. Always nitendo finds big success in milking their ips but not new original IPs recently and times have changed so Nintendo and gaming is not like old days for new IPs to get big sucess unless the platform is big, huge marketing, reviews are great for the game.

So you ignore Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Tomodachi Life, Wii Sports Resort, etc.

Ok, whatever. ;)

Remove Handheld titles and give me home console games that sold 3+ million as core game in last 5 years. Nintendo always dominated in handheld without much competition (only PSP did give some but not much) so their new IP's in handheld sold better but these days even new IP's from handheld also not going to sell like old days even if they try. Times have changed so dont expect great sales from new IP's and  also this game now in a platform thats not good, not having worth of 60$ content ready at launch, dont have features requested by online players etc.,
