Why would they kill DK? A new game would have the potential of selling up to 10M copies. It'll come eventually.

I don't know. Probably because these days they only seem to care about Mario, Pokemon and Animal Crossing these days. Metroid Dread, WarioWare: Get It Together! and Advance Wars 1+2: Rebootcamp are rare exceptions.

Your hyperbole is highly unwaranted.

ACNH support is weak.

Here's Nintendo's line up for this year:

1. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

2. New Pokémon Snap

3. Miitopia

4. Famicom Detective Club

5. DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power

6. Game Builder Garage

7. Mario Golf: Super Rush

8. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD

9. WarioWare: Get It Together!

10. Metroid Dread

11. Mario Party Superstars

12. Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp

13. Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain

The bolded are games from franchises or sub-franchises that previously weren't represented on the Switch. Several have quite literally been brought back from the dead. They clearly care about a lot of franchises.

The 2.65M number for DKCTF is as of December 31st 2019. As of mid 2020 it was at 2.93M. So it's clearly over 3M by now.
