| Samus Aran said: Because they're on multiple consoles with bigger userbases with older demographics. -,-' Hunters' campaign is just a generic shooter from what I've seen on youtube. And no, that's not why Metroid is niche. 3D Mario games have levels based on all kinds of themes, gimmicks and what not. |
It outsold Metroid games on PS3 alone.
The campaign is is pretty much like any other Prime game, the are just more pirates and such making it more shooter like.
3D Mario retains it's core mechanical focus, platforming, regardless of what gimmick is employed whether gravity, boss fights and so on. The result is that if you like platforming you'll like the games regardless of what gimmick they employ as that what 3D Mario is about, platforming.
Metroid on the other hand doesn't do one thing in a brilliant fashion it does loads of things in a decent fashion to execute the concept of a lone bounty hunter on missions exploring.
