It did generate some hype, last i checked the reveal has over 2M views on YouTube so fans were aware of it's existence yet the game sold like shit. I don't care if it's a remake it should have sold much better on a 70m+ user base handheld especially after the Fed Force drama. 

It didn't sold like shit, it sold OK for what is, Metroid was never really very popular (its very hard core game), and we here talking about 2D temaster game. I am pretty sure Nintendo is satisfied with sales and made solid profit.

No it did not do well, currently it still hasn't reached 500k in sales and do I need to remind you that it's not a remaster but a remake on top of that it's essentially an entirely new game and even if it was just a remaster it doesn't make it a cheap project by any means, this is supposed to be a triple A title not some indie game.

Metroid never was a cash cow but that still doesn't excuse the terrible sales figures for a 3DS game fans "have been waiting for" we are lucky Sakamoto hasn't giving up on 2D Metroid because Nintendo sure doesn't give a crap about it. I'll say it again Samus Returns sold bad stop using the same old excuses and buy the damn game.
