We all know that th Switch has known tremendous success with the sales of games, with a lot of games beating record franchise and surpassing all expectations.

However, some of the games sold less than expected or less that we could have thought. They are not flop, but they are games who could have been much better success.

For me:

Super Mario Maker 2:  7.89  millions   : The number is impressive, but it's much less than the port of NSMBU and much less than a new 2D pisoe could have done. I think that a lot of people are clearly put off by the aspect of making levels. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo drop the franchise and make 2D mario come back.

1-2 Switch: 3.63 millions  :  It was released to be the new big casual game on Switch but was quickly forgotten. Nobody remember it exist.

Paper Mario the Origami King: 3.34 millions :  That's my big disappointment. The game is so good, so well made and polished, with a long story and interesting settings and gameplay. I feel it could have sold 8-10 millions. But instead it probably suffered from the mixed reception of Stciker Star and Color Splash. It did not even beat the record Franchise of Super Paper Mario.

New Pokemon Snap: 2.74 millions  : I expected at least 5 millions given how popular Pokemon is on the Switch and how some people had nostalgia for ths game. I am not sure it has passed the previous one on N64.

Do you agree? What game would you add?
