The one I want most is a Metroid Prime Trilogy port. Well, I would want Zelda just as much, but I think with a Zelda collection they'd end up only packing in two games. If it was something like Wind Waker HD, Twillight Princess HD, and a Skyward Sword HD that would be super cool, but it won't be. At best it will be a Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD double pack (and I say best because whilst OoT and MM are arguably more beloved, I personally already have them immediately accessible on the 3DS). You just know Skyward Sword would be "too generous", which sucks because given how divisive it is I *really* don't want to have to pay $60 just to try it when or if it eventually gets a Switch port.
| Slownenberg said: I mean obviously Zelda should be the next collection, with Zelda's 35th anniversary coming up in February, and there already being rumors that they'll do something with it like they are doing with Mario. I'm assuming they aren't gonna put 5 Zeldas in one package, since they couldn't even be bothered to put both Galaxy's in the same collection, so I'm guessing Zelda collection of OoT, MM, WW, and then maybe TP HD and SS HD sold individually or as a second full price collection. Donkey Kong is just a much less popular franchise. Those aren't major sellers, and the best ones were on SNES, so they will all eventually be available on Switch Online. DK64 sucked and there is no need to ever revisit it, and Switch already has a port of the last one, so the only one of the modern games (DKC and after) that is missing is the Wii game, well I haven't played Jungle Beat but that doesn't lend itself as well to normal controls since I am guessing the fun of that was playing on the bongos. It would have been nice if Nintendo had thrown in the Wii DKC in the cart with Tropical Freeze, that way upping the price to $60 would have been more justified. But yeah I don't really feel the need for a Donkey Kong collection at all. Maybe just a collection of the old school pre-DKC games on the eshop for $20 or something, but I don't really think thats a big deal. |
That's just factually inaccurate compared to other games you listed like Metroid Prime or Pikmin. Donkey Kong is less popular now, in large part, because Nintendo made it less popular now. The SNES games sold 9m, 5m, and 3.5m respectively, making every entry part of the top 10 best selling SNES games. Donkey Kong 64 sold 5m. Returns on the Wii alone sold a gigantic 6.5m with the 3DS port selling 1.5m as of 2014, almost as much as Tropical Freeze. Yea, the decline in popularity that Donkey Kong had on the Wii U was pretty big, arguably bigger than other franchises (it's a little hard to gauge when a lot of Wii to Wii U titles either didn't get a Wii U sequel, or had abnormalities affecting comparisons like Galaxy getting two entries or BOTW not launching until the Wii U was already dead), but that's not really a testament to the series popularity. It is one of their biggest franchises and would probably sell as well as Luigi's Mansion 3 if it had an ambitious new entry, the series even has potential to be bigger than LM I'd say given it started at much healthier sales.
