It looks like it's no.1 this week in Japan and has now sold well on both 3DS and Wii U.
Nintendo doesn't one off ideas that actually sell this well (and no, Metroid generally does not put up these kinds of sales before someone brings that up).
Anything from Nintendo that sells 2-3+ million worldwide is pretty much gaurunteed to get more iterations.
Nintendo's system is fairly simply
Sub-1 million sales worldwide - No sequel, unless the cost of the game is so low that Nintendo is willing to fund another one (read: low odds)
Over 1 million sales worldwide - Fairly decent chance of a sequel.
1.5-2 million sales woldwide - A very high chance of a sequel
Over 2 million sales worldwide - Sequel gaurunteed.
Mitigating factors would be if the game had inflated sales due to things like heavy bundling.
