| bunchanumbers said: Nintendo hardware. The user base that Metroid appeals to are more likely to buy a PS or Xbox. And since Metroid would be one of a handful (generous) of games that appeal to that user base, sales are hamstrung. At least that is what I think, but then again that doesn't explain Super Metroid. SNES was king and still Metroid didn't sell. Maybe it really is a Niche game and its about time we embraced its nicheness. |
I really hope it isn't any of those two cases but it seems likely that it is or even both. It's just so weird because Nintendo fans are known for their weak affinty to shooters yet Nintendo was able to market Splatoon perfectly. Maybe because it was cartoony and that's why Federation Force was a multiplayer game that looked chibby? I'm just spitballing ideas at this point trying to find out this mystery.
