I tried all of the games listed, then anything after that I read reviews to see if they fixed what I didn't like about the game and they had not.

Pikmin 3's global time limit puts me off completely.

No I did NOT like SMG2. It was the same platforms-in-space developer-playground mess and SMG but minus a cool soundtrack.

I played Pikmin when I was little and trust me, the time limit didn't put a damper on the game one bit.

How didn't you like SMG 2 when you liked SMG? They were the same thing. (Bolded.)

Here's when all my favourite game series died:

3D Mario: Galaxy (2007)
2D Mario: NSMB 2 (2011)
Paper Mario: Super (2007)
Metroid: Prime 3 (2007)
Zelda: Ocarina (1996)
Pokemon: Black/White (2010)
SSB: Still alive
MK: Still alive"

So you are basically saying to Nintendo: "Do all the games I like to play and F*** all of the other fans and the games they like that I DON'T like". You are being an hypocrite here as you stated that they should only focus on their 10M+ selling franchises yet, you want them to make another game like super paper mario (3.4m) and metroid:prime 3 (1.64m). Nice way to think only about yourself. 

 

Nope. I don't think they should make another Paper Mario of any kind. I don't think they should make any more like Prime 3. Prime 1 was borderline (2.82m) but still not a priority.

And I meant those games ARE where the series died. I hate everything on that list.

I distinguish between what I want (say, more Paper Mario like 64/TTYD) and what NIntendo should do (Wii Sports, NSMB, etc). I don't like Ocarina, but if they can make a very Ocarina like game that sells like Ocarina (and not like Skyward) that would be OK because it sold well.

Your logic: Nintendo, milk all of your big franchises to death ala Activision and ditch all of your other franchises that sell less then 10M.

Thank god you are not holding the place of Iwata, or else, Nintendo would be long gone or atleast, it's fans would be.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

Minimum-2.5M
maximum-3.6M


Have changed the maximum amount but I think you're spot on with the minimum amount:

Minimum - 2.5m
Maximum - 4m

Oh sorry. I thought you meant the games you listed were the last of your favourites.

None of the games that you listed were bad though. You need to stop relying on reviews to figure if you'll like the game or not. If you don't like it then just return it before it's expiration. I bet some of the games you thought you wouldn't like aren't half bad.

I think not having much first-party competition could help Pikmin 3...
But I still don't think it will be huge...
Though I do think that it could de really well if Nintendo was willing to advertise the crap out of it...
I don't think that will happen though...



Have a nice day...

this game will sell like crazy

I voted for 1.5mil+ and I believe I may be conservative. On the long run it have potential to reach 2mil but I think 3mil is a stretch but not imposible.
