| Jumpin said: That's another thing as well. Nintendo fans on this site talk about Metroid a lot. So people hear about it. You don't really hear about Metroid on other gaming sites. |
Have you heard about Persona? People talk a lot about it here too.
Persona: 6m
Metroid: 18m
Metroid is 3 times bigger than Persona.
Also
Devil May Cry: 15m
Castlevania: 14 m
You are trying to justify your lack of knowledge, anybody who don´t know what Metroid is, has no idea about videogame history, also, the best selling ones are not the oldest, Metroid Prime (2002) sold 3m on GC, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption was close to 2m on 2007, those are not pokemon numbers, but they are good enough, Also Super Metroid is widely considered one of the best games ever made and Metroid Prime has a freaking 97 on Meta, is one of the best scored games ever.
The saga has been pretty consistent between 1.5m - 2m (Fusion, Echoes, Corruption, Metroid 2, Super Metroid , Other M) with 2 games around 3m (Metroid and Metroid Prime). Those are good numbers overall.
