Forums - Nintendo - Every Nintendo Series Where the Games Sold Around 1-2 Million or Less Is Dead Or Took/Is Taking A Long Break

It's true. I'll show you all the ones I can think of.

Pikmin

Average sales per game (Not counting new play control) - 1.18 million

Break until Pikmin 3 - 9 years

 

F-Zero

Average sales per game - 1.16 million

Dead since 2003

 

Starfox

Average sales per game (Not counting Star Fox 64 3D) - 2.1 million

Dead since 2006

I wonder if this will continue with the Wii Party series.

I think that's the only though.



Fire Emblem though.



OMG Star Fox on Wii U in 2015
After all Pikmin took 9 years, why not Star Fox right?



Around the Network

Fire Emblem, Kirby, Metroid, and Yoshi off the top of my head have all had at least a couple of games within the last six years, and only one of those titles has sold over 2 million units (I believe)



Other franchises:
Metroid: 1.353 Status: Debatable

Fire Emblem: 0.6236  Status: Alive with crossover soon

Yoshi: 1.911  Status: alive with two games soon

Donkey Kong Country: 5.864 (anything related to the Jungle version: 2. 659)Status: Alive

Donkey Kong Original: 1.5      Status: had a digital entry last year

Chibi-Robo: 0.253                     Status: probably a digital franchise now

Rhythm Heaven: 1.4     Status:Unknown but last release in 2011

Advance Wars: .5775 Status:Limbo

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon   2.53            Status: 1 over a year ago but its a one-per-generation game

Mario & Luigi: 2.125    Status: Just released one last year

Edit: I will add to this list

I think Wii Party is secure as long as the Wii brand still exists...

The fact that Wii Party U is being bundled in Japan (and is now one of the better selling Wii U titles because of this) demonstrates (some) confidence in the brand...



Have a nice day...

Metroid took a long break in the past, though.
