| JRPGfan said: Thats not saying much. Kirby is pretty much only popular in the US (atleast thats how I see it). I think Metroid is bigger in the US than anywhere else in the world as well.
Meanwhile ask anyone in the world if they know a guy named Mario that has a mustashe and likes to jump on goombas and rescue princesses, and everyone will reply yes.
You guys know that "big in japan" type joke? Kirby and metroid are kinda like that.... they just couldnt make it internationally (they are big in the US).
-------------------- edit: (i went out looking to see if my "assumption" was correct, first vgchartz kirby game result I found) Kirby's Epic Yarn
And that was one of the most selling Kirby games? I think for the Wii when it was big. In europe no one knows who kirby is... atleast not your avg joe. |
Why are you only showing Kirby's Epic Yarn?
Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby Squeak Squad, Kirby 64, Kirby's Adventure, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Kirby Super Star, Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kirby's Pinball Land and most recently, Kirby Triple Deluxe, all sold the most in Japan. And when the games don't sell the most in Japan, they typically come very close to NA's sales.
Kirby is equally popular in Japan as it is in NA.
