Diddy Kong Racing certainly would sell much much better than those and similar games, games like you mentioned doesn't sell very well on Nintendo platforms and thats fact, but Kart game with Nintendo characters are always one of the best selling game on any Nintendo platform.


Games like that don't sell very well on Nintendo consoles solely because they aren't exclusive, so there's always a better version on another console where there is a larger library of games that will appeal to someone who bought that game. It's not because of some impossible viability of those types of games on Nintendo platforms. A good, high budget game like that would empty stock everywhere. DKR would just sell its own software. The game I describe would sell its own software, third party software, and hardware to a completely different and prevalent audience of gamer Nintendo doesn't currently provide content for.

Metroid is good example, its exclusive and similar game to those games and never had great sales, it had only OK sales.
