Or DKC Returns doing 11m when Tropical Freeze did 4.62m as of the end of 2022.

Or Echoes of Wisdom doing 15m when Link’s Awakening did 6.46m as of the end of 2022.

Tropical Freeze was one of the reasons DK 2D lost fan base. And DKC Returns was very hype. Much nostalgia.

EW is a new game not a remake that didnt sell originally well. And is the first time playing as Zelda, many females will want to play for the first time.

But yes there are high ballers that do seem poor in judgement, either way I'd like to see your guestimates. :)

No, Tropical Freeze did poorly on Wii U because Wii U was not popular, not the other way around.

Ironically, the Wii U version of TF sold like previous ports have and the NSW version is selling similar to new entries. Returns of Wii will likely fall in the 2-3 million range.

As for Zelda, Link’s Awakening was a remake but a remake of a game that was 26 years old at the time meaning to most gamers it was a new title.

Link’s Awakening (NSW)-6.63m (as of June 2023)

Legend of Zelda-6.53m

Phantom Hourglass-4.76m

Link to the Past (SNES)-4.61m

Link to the Past (GBA)-2.82m

Link’s Awakening DX-2.22m

The Minish Cap-1.76m

It’s already the best selling 2D Zelda so people clearly are treating it like a new title and there is little reason to think Echoes of Wisdom is going to see a 2.5x increase over the best selling 2D title. It will probably sell in the 4-6 million range along with the other top selling 2D entries.
