Man, the franchise is unable to cross the 3Million mark and you're aiming at 20M all for a sudden?

The latest Animal Crossing has sold the equivalent sales of all prior Animal Crossing games combined.

Stranger things have happened.

First, unless Nintendo advertise the game to hell and back like Microsoft would do with Halo, change most of the corners points of what a Metroidvania type game is to fit modern sensibilities and trends (NOT EVERY GAME NEEDS TO BE OPEN WORLD JESUS !) rendering the experience worse in some obvious aspects than it's predecessor .... a big maybe.

5M would be a better bet as of now while maintaining most of it's current gameplay aspects.

I agree that not every game needs to be open world. But I think it makes a lot of sense for the Metroid franchise. More sense than linear. And going back to the roots, the game isn’t a stranger to open world design. Just my opinion.

I dream bigger than 5 million. =)

I want to see ways it can get to 20 million.

Super Metroid is one of my favorite games of all time, I actually complete it once a year within a span of a couple hours... The atmosphere of being stuck underground in a network of tunnels having to problem solve is actually one of it's key atmospheric strengths in my opinion.
I think the craze to make everything "open world" is wearing a bit thin, it shouldn't be the default approach to game design.

It's why Ori and the Will of the wisps is a really great game, because it takes that same concept.

In saying that... I would be extremely happy for just another 2D metroid to be honest.
